My Recent Shopping Trip

What a day. It was a great day. I got to meet up with The Coupon Posse' at their "Giving Back" event. What a bunch of nice ladies. Kudos to them for putting on such an event, and a BIG THANK YOU too. Did you see all the stuff they got?

Anyway, after meeting up with The Coupon Posse', Blakey and I (oh, really quick, I have to add that he was such an angel while I sat and chatted it up with the ladies. He was soooo good!) went back out to "our" Safeway in "the" valley and look at what we got for, literally $0.19..........

It wasn't quite at successful though, at first. As I paid $3.19 OOP. Then, realized I didn't get my Cat. So, Blakey and I went on and did a couple of other erands and I realized I didn't get my Cat. So, I toyed with the idea of just not going back at all or going back and seeing what happened (I didn't want to wait for the Catalina to come in the mail either). Well, I just can't let FREE money go out the window, so I headed my butt back to "my" Safeway and told them what had happened. Luckily, I had the printout that I had gotten from Safeway that there was a Catalina deal going on, because they didn't have it posted anywhere. Anyway, the nice gentleman could not "make" my Catalina print out at the customer service desk, as they don't have one of those machines there. Soooooooo, HE GAVE ME $3 BACK!!! Yay! He was so very nice about it too. Heck yeah, that works for me too. :) So, I was all sad and mopey before walking in, and now I'm a happy camper. Thanks so much to the gentleman at "my" Safeway.

Here is a little breakdown of the deal.

Pillsbury 10 for $10 (only select ones).
-$1/2 from here
There are some e-coupons for these too from either Cellfiire.com or shortcuts.com

Sweet Moments $3.49
-markdown 50% off, making it $1.75
-$1.50
There are also e-coupons for these too, I think.

Mission Tortillas $1
-$0.55/1 from MDA Safeway Coupon book
=$0.45, not too bad of a price. I think that is pretty good.

Thanks!

*Repost* Are you lookin' for a way to give back?

Just a reminder, if you are interested, that The Coupon Posse' is holding their food drive today. See below for details:

Well, I would like to share with you a suggestion I may have. The Coupon Posse is hosting a "Give Back" Event this week.

Here is a bit of the back story first.....(This is from their site).....

I am going to share a very personal story with The Coupon Posse' readers. This is a little out of my comfort zone, but I thought it would be well worth sharing.

About 8 years ago, I was in the middle of a divorce, I had no job, and I had three young children to support. I was literally beside myself on how I was going to make ends meet. One day I was sharing my circumstances with a close friend and she told me to call a place called the Caritas Center. I thought about it for several days then reluctantly picked up the phone and made the call. When I called they were very nice and seemed understanding of my situation, which was a relief for me. I went to my appointment and was more than surprised when they pulled out two wagons full of food out to my car. This was so much more than I had expected and I was so grateful.

That was first and last time I went there, but they never forgot who I was because that Christmas I received a call from them asking if I could please come down and pick up Christmas presents for my children. I was so stunned and at the same time felt so blessed because this Christmas in particular was going to be very slim.



So the reason I'm telling you this story is because I always thought that if I could ever give back to the Caritas Center I would jump on the opportunity. Well here is that moment! The Coupon Posse' is going to "GIVE BACK" and we are giving it all to the Caritas Center. We would love for you to join us! Remember, little acts of kindness can make a world of difference, and can make a huge impact on someone else’s life.

Okay, so here are a couple of details, like where and when.....

You could either drop your donations off directly to the Caritas Center at:
N 2919 Monroe
Spokane, WA 99205
M, W, Th from 10:00-1:00

OR, you could even meet up with The Coupon Posse, TOMORROW, September 15th between 10:00-1:00 at.....

Safeway (in the parking lot)
N 1616 NW BLVD
Spokane, WA 99205

This is a great way to "give back." A BIG THANK YOU to The Coupon Posse' for hosting such an event and to JoDee for sharing her story!
