Holy Savings Batman!!

I have to share about my grocery shopping trip tonight....

So Jesse came home from Domino's with $52.00 in tips -- that money had to go to groceries and gas, so after we talked about it we decided to cash in our loose coin to help out this week. So I went to Shaw's and cashed in the coin to the tune of $65.00.

As I was walking away from the coin machine, I said a little prayer in my head that everything would be OK and that we would have enough money for both groceries and gas and off I went shopping. I usually keep track of the total as I go so that I don't go over my budget, but tonight I didn't. So I went through Shaw's and got everything I needed and I made sure that I used as many coupons as I could.

When I got to the checkout I wasn't really paying attention, until the cashier looked at me and told me that the total was $139.00!!! I was panicked and then I remembered that I hadn't given the cashier my Shaw's card and she hadn't done any of my coupons yet.... phew!! So after my card was swiped and my coupons scanned my total went to $66.91!!!! Can you believe it! I got all of the groceries that I needed and still had money to get the gas I needed!

I always marvel at the Lord's hand in my life! It is amazing to me how if we are open to Him, He will provide and make sure that we are all taken care of!! The only thing I can think of is the primary song "Count Your Blessings", and it was definitely a day to count my blessings!!
