Deals, Deals, Deals...

Greetings dear readers~
Recently my mother and I went for a shopping trip. We stopped by Goodwill for a few minutes and found these two little treasures. I had been wanting a little sweater or shrug to wear with a brown polka dot dress for a while now. I found a shrug at Belks that cost more than the dress. Never fear, Goodwill is here! :>) I found exactly what I wanted for $3.50! Now that's what I'm talkin' bout! :>) lol

Then we found this little toile backpack. It was still stiff and no spots, like brand new! $2.50!
Mama finds great coupons on the internet.

12 pack of Sprite-- FREE




Two Lime drinks from Taco Bell--- FREE (We drank these while shopping.)


Mama got a $10 coupon for Old Navy. She found this cute little dress for Mariah that was on sale for $10, so it was FREE!


We went to a local peach orchard and happened to be there when one of the owners was there. Mama asked him if he would sell her some of the culled peaches. He told her they don't normally do that, but if she would come back when they were packing he would get some for her. Mama likes to put them in the freezer for smoothies, muffins and cobblers. So, yesterday she went by there and he gave her 100lbs for FREE! That was such a blessing. Guess what we did today?

And last but certainly not least... we dressed up for "Cow Appreciation Day" at Chick Fil A, and our whole family ate for FREE! :>) Not too bad for a few minutes of looking like a dork! Matthew high tailed it to the bathroom to wash his "nose" off as soon as we ordered!

So, what are some creative ways that you save money? Any favorite websites to find great deals or coupons?

~Much Love & Many Blessings~

Hello McKenzie,
This is Emma's younger sister, Eliza.
I really enjoy reading your blog!
I was wondering if maybe you could share some of those sites that your Mom gets all the coupons from! That would be great! :)
Have a great day!
Eliza
