• MARY SMITH"> I couldn’t believe the savings!! by MARY SMITH,

  I journaled November’s grocery shopping and I must say, I’m pretty pleased…
  I took a moment today and picked up a notebook I had in my everything tote (that’s where my wallet is, my small Bible, misc notebooks and pens.) In November I dove back into couponing aggressively, I wanted to see what I really spent-vs-saved [...]

  How many products would you want to get for $20; 5 or 30?
  Last night when my husband and I were heading into Albertson’s he told me,”We only have $20 for whatever we get tonight.”
  Well I thought, I know I have some great coupons and there are some good deals to be had… Okay, I am [...]

• MARY SMITH"> Ready-Set-Shop! Setting up for the shopping by MARY SMITH,

  Today, I’m going talk about preparing to shop with coupons. Focus- the coupon file.
  Something you need to know it’s not fast a fast project, lol, some parts of couponing I may be relearning but that is something I never forgot. What I mean about that is that if you want to really save money then [...]

• MARY SMITH"> Ah, the Joys of Relearning An Old Standby- by MARY SMITH,

  As I mentioned in my last post, I am venturing back into the world of coupons. I can’t really say ‘coupon clipping,’ because as I am learning, it has become far more than that.
  Yes there is clipping now, but it’s not necessarily out of the Sunday inserts. There is a big world out there [...]

• MARY SMITH"> My Return to the world of “couponing” by MARY SMITH,

   
  It was inevitable! Or rather, only a matter of time before it happened….
  What happened you might ask, I am making my return to a world I left behind a long time ago. Oh yes, I ventured back into it a time or two over the years but this time I blame my return on peer [...]

• The 4th of July… what does it mean to you? – By MARY SMITH,

  Have you ever thought of the high cost that was paid to achieve the rights and freedoms that we enjoy today?
  Just what does the 4th of July mean to you? 
  I asked this question recently and got the answers I expected: freedom (in all areas), family, fun, celebrations… you can figure the general reaction.
  As we know, [...]

• “Have to” or “Choose to”… Musings of a summer day by MARY SMITH,

  As I was sitting at my desk pondering the fact that the AC isn’t working I realized that summer has truly arrived. A week ago it was cool and I was wondering if the weather would ever change, now that it has, and I have no air conditioning in my office for the moment I [...]

• Ponderings by Mary Smith,

  In spite of the weather, summer is rearing it’s head in a variety of forms- Senior Projects, graduations and summer apparrel inspite of the temps. 
  I sit here staring out my office window, wondering if the day will make up it’s mind… rain or sun?
  Though I do not look forward to the 100 degree days that [...]

• Spring- are you out there??,

  I don’t know about you but I am ready for consistant Spring weather!
  I am tired of the threat of spring, getting a day of 68-70 degree weather and then the drop back to the 55-60 degree zone. I want 75-85!! That’s the perfect temperature, warm enough that no jackets, heaters, or air conditioners are required. [...]

• Do I Trust the Lord?,

  As a Christian, I can say that the last week or so has seen many things that cause me to think, about God as my healer and everything else for that matter.

  The first… not a biggie… the garden variety of creeping crud is making it’s way around and making folks feel like garbage.
  A lot of [...]

• Forward Into Another Spring by Mary Smith,

  It’s that time of year again… Spring!
  As I watch the wind kicking up and trying to encourage the winter weather to release it’s grip from the area it makes me wish that it would be so easy to do the spring cleaning. The most challenging part of this annual ritual is – where the heck [...]
