Coupons For A Cause


I have to admit something here, publicly.  I have recently become the biggest coupon fanatic.  I know, I know... yes, I am one of THOSE.  


I may need a 12 step even.  Hello my name is Kristin Vanzant and I love coupons.  :)  Lol.


Seriously though, money in our family is tight right now and I’ve found a way to save us loads of cash.  

Here’s an example from this week’s grocery adventure.  


*See Dad, it’s for real.  :)





Harris Teeter:

Total Bill:  $112.12

Total Out of Pocket:  $20.06


MORE IMPORTANTLY... I’ve been able to cash in on pharmacy items for FREE.

FREE.  FREE.  FREE.


All these FREE things... we will be taking them to Guatemala in 4 weeks to GIVE AWAY.




Free toothpaste and soap may not be that big of a deal to you.  However, to some men, women and kids like these... it is a luxury.





Yes, it does take some time, planning and work... but, if I get to GIVE IT AWAY and bless others then it’s totally worth it.


Speaking of blessing others... 

I went to the dentist last week for a regular checkup.  The dental hygienist was cleaning my teeth and asked me what my summer plans were.  I began to tell her about our trip back to Guatemala for the summer...about the country, the kids, the tragedy and the beauty of it all.  Once I was finished with my appointment,  she walked me to the waiting room and handed me a box FULL of toothpaste and 4 BOXES of toothbrushes!!!






THANK YOU Dr. Kemp!!!  Wow.


It’s so fun to watch God provide.  Not only for me and my family but for others as well.


Grateful,

K


P.S.  Shoot me an email or comment if you want me to explain how I save so much every month... it’s easy and you could have more to bless others with as well.
