Fitting Hope into Your Budget

I just read this on Money Saving Mom and thought you would enjoy it and it would encourage you! It's so easy sometimes to forget the "big picture" or just get worn out as were trying to reach our "big picture" goal.  I know at times it's hard for me and it truly brings me comfort to know that I'm not alone! I am so blessed to be surrounded by so many who are living the same life. I love that we can laugh together, cry together, and encourage one another. I hope this blog post helps to bring you some encouragement  as you continue  pressing on toward your goals!  The fact that you’re reading this means you’re part of an army. An enormous, world-wide army of people who want to be wise stewards of their money.Each of us wields our own weapons: Some carry scissors...

Price Cutter Deals 6/22 - 6/28

I post weekly coupon match-ups of Price Cutter’s very best deals each week for all of you in Missouri who have a Price Cutter nearby. They double coupons up to $0.50 (their policy says they won’t double coupons that state “do not double”) and they generally have good sales. Any FREE items after coupons are highlighted in green. Note: The last time I was at Price Cutter, my store had their coupon policy taped at every single cash register in the store, so it looks like at least in some locations they’ll be strictly enforcing their policy which includes limiting of double coupons (my store had this part of the posted policy highlighted in bright green). You can review the policy HERE. Keep in mind, ymmv at your particular location. Note: In all...
