Inspiring Story From Budget Savvy Diva’s Shopping Trip
So last night I wrote down everything I needed to buy tomorrow – planning on doing some yummy recipes. If you notice I shop at Fresh and Easy a lot – I shop their mainly because it is right down the block. The bad thing is that they do not take manufacture coupons but they do have their own. Bi-Monthly coupons they send out through the mail usually for $5.00 off of $25.00 purchase. Because I had already used my monthly coupon I had to settle on planing to use a weekly coupon from the ad for $3.00 off a $30.00 purchase or more. I go to the store early in the morning and snag their amazing manager specials 😉
Now on to the story.
I was in the dairy aisle – pondering the difference unsalted butter would make in a recipe I am planning on making. As I stared at the unsalted butter in my hand – I am sure it was an amusing sight – a elderly woman came up to me and said ” You like Coupons?”
My first thought was it is that apparent that I am a couponer as I stare at this un-salted butter?!
Before I could reply she took out an envelope and handed me 10 coupons – $5.00 off of $25.00 purchase!
Before I could even say thank you she pushed her cart around the corner and was gone.
I was left with coupons in one hand and un-salted butter in the other.
I put the butter in my cart and the coupons in my purse and kept on shopping 😉
You know what is funny is that I have always been the one to give the coupons but never receive them – it really did make me feel happy PLUS I was able to buy items I would not of been able to because of her kindness. These items with comprise recipes that I will be able to pass on to all of you.
It is all about passing it forward 🙂
What do you do to pass it forward?
