Can't stop myself

I know this post is probably tacky- but I'm just so thrilled that I can't control the urge to post this. Plus I promised a few friends that I've talked to today that I'd show them my super screamin deals I got today at Albertsons. This is the first time I've gotten the doublers in my 5 Sunday papers- that makes 15 doublers- plus the three they give you at the customer service desk- 18 doublers! I checked out 6 times- boy was it fun.

You have to really look to see it all- plus 1 ketchup and 2 packs of cookies are missing. The cookies I already put away and the ketchup I left for Shelby at the shop. Guess what my total paid was----------$18.51. SHUT UP! I was so excited planning this shopping trip last night that I could hardly sleep. I kept dreaming about all the great deals. This is a savings of 84%!!! I was pretty excited. I also went to Target and got some great deals (not pictured), but Ike was a pain in the butt. I forgot to give them a few coupons that I left in my pocket. So my deals there weren't as great as I wanted them to be. Oh well.

As I was putting all of these things away today and counting up how much I've accumulated, I had a revelation. Last January, I committed to working really hard to build up a storage. But in my heart, I just wasn't sure how it was going to be possible. A few weeks later I got really into couponing. I looked today and I have a year's supply of most if not all of our toiletries (toothpaste, razors, shampoo, mouthwash, soap) and a good supply of many of our grocery items as well. It was just such a testimony builder to me that the Lord will multiply our efforts- do the best we can, and he'll provide the way!
