Did you know that the first coupon was issued
by Coca Cola in the mid 1890's? It was for a free
glass of cola. Did you also know that despite the
fact that only 1% of all coupons issued get
redeemed, in 2006 manufacturers issued $279
billion worth of coupons.
She talks about how the coupon industry works.
Can you beleive that only 1% of $279 BILLION of coupons
was redeemed???? I wanna stand on the roof top and cry
PEOPLE WHY ARNT YOU SAVING MONEY!!!!!
I hear the comments,
"Gosh you and your coupons"
"Man do you ever just GO BUY IT"
"Why do you worry about what you spend??? "
Becuase I do care what I am doing with my money. I care because
God commands us to care and to TAKE CARE of what he has given us.
Its my duty. Its my calling! :-D
Make it yours to!

HI Nichole,
I think one reason people don't use coupons more it's because they don't want to develop a system. Before I started looking into using them more I would clip one here and there and then they would expire or I never used it when the item was on sale. People don't develop a methodology for using them. They are too lazy?...
I am waiting for the day people tell me to "just go buy it." I'll ask them for the money. I don't get why people sometimes look down on other people who are wise about how they spend their money.
Great post! In today's society no one wants to wait, save or do with out because it seems to be that they think they are "owed" or "deserved" of things. Not important items mind you , just "things." No wonder kids now days don't have a concept or clue about the value of a dollar.
As for me and my house we will serve the LORD, coupons and all.
Great thoughts, girl! I'm there with you...I'm learning, and I'm trying. I'm determined to do as much as I possibly can to be that good steward!
