Mark chapter 2

Jesus said this to them when they saw Jesus eating with the tax collectors and "sinners".

Verse 17

On hearing this , Jesus said to them, "It is not the healthy who need a doctor, but the sick. I have not come to call the righteous, but sinners."


I think they forgot that we are ALL SINNERS... We are no better... we are just saved by the Grace and Blood of Jesus Christ our savior!!

Groceries this Week

This week had some ok deals. I stayed below my weekly $55. budget and got quite a bit of food!! I stocked up on tomato sauce (6 -32 oz. cans), corn steamers (11 bags), salad dressing (4), taco shells(like I need more!), mayo, frozen pizzas (theres 4 there), and more.

Here's what I got... it's hard to see it all, I will try to improve my picture taking skills. I'm not used to taking pics of groceries. I still can't believe I am!! But I like to see pics of what everyone else gets so maybe you do too!!

Walgreens $6.25
Kroger 16.44
Meijer 26.30
Walmart- Free (I got 11 steamers and 7 buddies for 0) I did get a new toaster and a birthday gift so my total wasn't actually 0---(My toaster finally died after 12 1/2 years...it was a wedding gift!! It had a long life!)
----------------
So my total was $48.99 plus a few dollars a CVS earlier in the week! yay another week in budget.

How did you do this week??

CVS - Black Friday

Oh My Word!!! I haven't done couponing for a full year yet so I didn't know what to expect Black Friday. Let me just sat that I am utterly shocked at all the freebies they give!! This is going to be Awesome. There are so many of them that have coupons to match which means Overage!!!

Here they are courtesy of I heart CVS

I won't take the time to list them but I just counted and there are 14 different items. Most are limit 1 but some are limit 2 and 1 is limit 3!!
There is also another item that is free after ecb and MQ

Can't wait!! I will post again with coupon matchups closer to Thanksgiving!!

Oh yea the sale starts Thanksgiving Day Nov.27-Nov. 29

Tidy

Ok I'm back and it's done!! The pics might not look a lot better but trust me the before pics also didn't tell exactly how bad it was!!

I added this pic below because you know when you start in one closet, it kinda grows and you end up doing more. I was able to clear out 2 shelves in my coat/game closet! so I moved a bunch of stuff that I didn't know what to do with out of this pantry and into the game closet.

This is a panty that I started filling up a couple months ago because my other pantry was getting too full to keep organized from all the deals!! Now I'm so excited because I have EMPTY SHELVES.

Yay more deals to get. I wonder how long it will take to fill up this pantry too!!

If you're wondering how to grow your pantry while cutting your grocery budget go here to "Couponing" I will be adding more posts soon. You can also visit moneysavingmom, this is who taught me!!

Hope you're having a great day!!
