Wow! It has been quite awhile since I have been on this blog. Hoping to get started back up. A lot has happened since the last time I posted. We sold our acreage of 3 years & went to a small house that we are renting for now. Hubby lost his job, but then found another one right away, which was a huge blessing. Then tragedy struck our family. My brother-in-law & sister-in-law where in a horrible car accident. They both had brain injuries, but my sister-in-law did not make it. We rejoice that she is now in Heaven with her Savior, but mourn at our lose of her here on earth. We as Christians hold tight to knowing that we are not saying "goodbye" but rather "I'll see you soon" At her funeral the Pastor said- "someone is not lost if you know where that person is" We have not "lost" Becca because we know she is in Heaven. Becca will greatly be missed by her Husband of 9 years & her 3 small children ages 7, 4, & 2.
When my husband & I found out about the accident, we immediately went to the hospital to be with them. My husband and I stayed at the hospital for several days. My hubby also called into his work to tell them about the situation. When talking to his place of work, we were told to just keep them updated on when my husband would be able to return to work. Two days later we called again to let them know about funeral arrangements & were told then that he was fired. Since he was fired, we have now decided to help my brother-in-law out as much as possible. Currently my hubby is living with his twin brother & his 3 children to help them out during this time of transition from the loss of Becca. I am staying home with our 5 kids & let me tell you, it has been quite an ordeal! I miss having my hubby with me, but know his brother needs him more right now.
Even though my husband lost his job from all of this, he had already put in an application at Vermeer and had been given a contract of employment to start on March 4th! We are so thankfully for God's provision for us! Vermeer is an excellent company & by him losing his previous job, my husband can help his brother out without feeling the need to have to go back to work. We also sold our house over a month ago, but received a check in the mail from our homeowners insurance just days before all of this happened! God was & is definitely in control of all of this.
With all this being said, I have a giveaway!! My Blog Spark has given me 2 Progresso soups & a makeup bag! I was very excited about getting this & the soup was amazing!! I tried the new Light Progresso Chicken Pot Pie & Light Creamy Potato with Bacon & Cheese!! I loved the Creamy Potato with Bacon & Cheese!! They also gave me the opportunity to pass this giveaway onto you! With everything that has gone on this past month, I decided to randomly pick someone out of all of my followers to receive this great giveaway!! The winner (at random) is...... Kathy Sothman!! Hope you enjoy your prize!
Thank you all for following my blog & for all of your prayers for my family. We truly appreciate everything!

Walgreens Deals week of 4/17
Ok, this week there are some pretty good deals at Walgreens! Starting today Walgreens is having a 4 day sale with some great deals!!
Here is what I plan on doing:
Buy:
9 Scotch Tape $1.99 each
Use: 9 $1/1 mgf coupon (coupon on page 2) This coupon is a pdf file so you can print as many as you want!!
Use: 1 b1g2 free Walgreens coupon (found in weekly ad)
1 Goody Hair Accessory $3
2 Aquafresh Training Toothpaste $1.99
Use: $.75 mgf coupon (there is also a $1 mgf in the 4/17 Red Plum newspaper insert)
Use: $1/1 Walgreens coupon (found in the April coupon book)
Note: you do have to register an email account to get the printable coupon.
If you use the 4/17 coupon these will be free and you will need to buy a small "filler" item so your total will not show as negative(them owing you money!) !!
This transaction should come close to: $.45 plus tax and you will receive a $3 RR for buying a Goody Hair Accessory to be able to use on your next purchase!!
For my second purchase:
3 Scotch Tape $1.99
Use: 3 $1/1 mgf coupon
1 Reach Total Care Floss 30yds $2.99
Use: $1/1 mgf coupon
5 Green Giant Canned Vegetables $.49
Use: Walgreens in ad coupon to get them for $.49
I bought a regional Walgreens coupon to get $.50/2 Green Giant Vegetables so I will able to get mine for $.24 and will be able to get 9.
Use the $3 RR from the previous transaction to make your total out of pocket to be: $.43 plus tax and you will receive a $2 RR for buying the Dental Floss to use on your next purchase!!
Since you can print each of these coupons twice and can print as many tape coupons as you want you can do each of these transactions another time- just make sure you alternate these transactions so the RR will print for you each time!!
If you only do these 2 transactions 1, here is what you will end up with:
12 Scotch Tape
1 Goody Hair Accessory
2 Aquafresh Training Toothpastes
1 Reach Dental Floss
5 Green Giant Vegetables
All this for only $.90 plus tax and you will have a $2 RR to use on your next purchase!!
Well, I hope everyone can get some good deals at Walgreens this week!! Please note that my amounts may not be exact as you will also have tax and I may just not have figured it right, but I will guarantee you that you will hardly pay anything out of pocket for these items!!

Target Deals- Cheap frozen food!
Wow!! Talk about a great deal! The Urbandale store flyer has an ad for buy ANY 7 frozen food items and get a $5 gift card! This is a great deal as it seems like anything is working, even things that are less than $1! Check out Totally Target's post about this deal! This would be an excellent time to stock up on your freezer supplies. Some stores are not offering this deal so make sure you check for signs at your Target to see if they are doing it! Totally Target also has coupon match ups for some of the frozen items that you can use when you buy a frozen item and then also get the $5 gift card. You can do this deal as many times as you want within one transaction as the register will keep track of every seven items and automatically ring up a gift card each time 7 times have gone through. Make sure to keep track of you total spend out so that the gift cards are not added to your bill (for awhile there gift cards were being added to the bill and then not taken off so you were actually paying for the gift card, but I haven't heard of that happening for awhile now) Also make sure that if you use coupons that they all get rung up and taken off. I have had several times that coupons are missed. Hope everyone has a great week and are able to stock up on their frozen foods. Thanks Totally Target for writing more about this deal!
