Bath and Body Works - FREE W/Any Purchase expires 4/21/10

Here's another great Bath and Body Works coupon...purchase ANY item and receive a travel size item FREE!  ($5.00 value) Yes, ANY ITEM!  When they offer these coupons, I will purchase a small item (a votive or another travel size item for under $2.00) and get the travel size item FREE!! 

Last time I was in, they offered a sneak peak of their new scent "Orange Sapphire" in a small lotion for $1.00.  So I purchased the lotion and a travel size item (total value, $6.00) for only $1.00!!  This is another wonderful way to try out new scents without being afraid you won't like it.  If I don't care for it, I'm not out anything!!

My daughter, who is 11, enjoys the travel size items as well.  (I think she likes the smaller size!)  So I always print two coupons so she can use one as well.

Use this in conjunction with the other coupon I posted earlier this week.  They will let you use more than one coupon per visit.  They will just ring it up separately!

If you're not familiar with AllYou Magazine, it is worth checking out just for the coupons.  But I really enjoy their articles and tips as well.  WalMart is the only place that carries All You Magazine, and it runs $2.49.

I love books about the Amish, and here is a FREE Book called A Gift of Grace.

Harris Teeter Shopping Trip, March 29, 2010

Harris Teeter is running triple coupons through March 30, 2010. They will triple any coupon worth up to .99. I decided to go to Harris Teeter today, giving myself a budget of $20.00, to see what I could get.
I spent some time organizing my coupons. I am a member of the Grocery Game, so used the list from their site for the items that were the best deals. I then went through my coupons, matching up the best sales with the coupons in my file. Harris Teeter only allows 20 coupons per day that can be doubled or tripled. So I had to make sure I stayed within 20 coupons that needed tripled. (That was the hard part!) I included some coupons that were more than $1.00, since they couldn't be tripled.
The total before the coupons was $99.68. Out of pocket (OOP) was $19.24!

Here is a list of what I purchased:

(1) Reynold's Oven Bags; (2) Martha White Muffin Mixes; (4) Hamburger Helpers; (1) Kashi Heart to Heart Crackers; (1) True Delight Cafe Squares; (1) Quaker Rice Snacks; (1) Wheatables Nut Crackers; (1) Bounty Napkins; (1) Wishbone Salad Dressing; (1) JFG Coffee Brick; McCormick Vanilla Extract; (1) Hidden Valley Ranch Dressing; (1) Sun Laundry Detergent; (1) KC Masterpiece BBQ Sauce; (2) Barilla Pasta; (1) Bumble Bee Tuna Pouch; (1) True Lemon; (1) Colgate Toothpaste; (2) Oral B Toothbrushes; (1) Sargento Salad Finishers; (1) Wholly Guacamole; (1) Shamrock Milk to Go; (2) Excedrin - 50 ct; (2) Renu Contact Solution; (1) Sara Lee Whole Grain Bread

Not too bad for under $20.00!! Hope you make it to Harris Teeter tomorrow!! There are great deals to be had!!

Baby, It's Cold In Here!!

I am blessed to be married to a wonderful man. He takes very good care of me and is attentive to my needs. But every now and then, he misses something. Let me explain...

Yesterday it was a beautiful day, so he went through the house opening all the windows. I love the fresh air! It makes for a pleasant day and seems to freshen everything up. We had somewhere to be last night and got home late. Our bedroom seemed quite cold, so I asked him if he had closed all the windows. He assured me he had. We then went to bed, neither one of us feeling very warm. In fact, I couldn't seem to get warm! I even piled extra blankets on the bed!! Nothing seemed to work.

This morning, I woke up to a VERY cold bedroom. (It got down into the 30's last night) And I also found out my dear husband had not slept well either due to the cold temperature! After getting my shower, as I was getting ready for the day, my husband sheepishly said "The window was left open all night. That's why it was so cold all night! I checked it and thought it was closed, but I was wrong. Will you forgive me?"

It was a bit irritating at first, since we both lost sleep, but he was so repentant...all I could do was forgive him, and smile...I still feel blessed to be his wife!! I'll take a bit of cool air over doing without him any day of the week!!

Do Men Want a Wife Like June Cleaver?




Watch this or read this article and let me know what you think...

The question was asked, "Do men really want wives like June Cleaver?" this article raises some obvious concerns, in that being a submissive, stay-at-home mom is looked upon as a "slave-woman". Where does the godly wife and mother fit into this role? Is this an outdated model?

Due to the women's movement, things have become quite confused, for both women and men. And because of this confusion, the biblical perspective has gotten lost. The Bible is clear that, as a wife, we are to submit to our husbands. That does NOT mean being a doormat. It does mean that the husband is to be the head of the home, the priest and covering. The Bible is also clear of the role of the man. Men are to love their wives as Christ loved the church. A man should be willing to die for his wife, putting her needs above his own. (Ephesians 5:22-33)

There is much that could be shared about this topic, but the main thing I want to stress is the importance of each married couple to communicate with each other, expressing his or her needs, desires and expectations. No two couples will work the same. But each couple can cultivate a long-lasting, happy and fulfilled marriage when putting the others' needs above their own.

I would love to hear your thoughts!

Where were you going with this?
