Lady of Proverbs 31 Saving at Krogers

As a Lady of Proverbs 31, I try to save as much money as I can grocery shopping.  I like to think that I am "like a merchant ship, bringing her food from afar, she gets up while it is still dark; she provides food for her family and portions for her servant girls".  Of course, I do not have to get up to meet the merchant ships to gather my food from afar (Proverbs 31:14-15).  I only have to go to the local grocery store.  But I do like to save as much as I can while feeding my family.  I use coupons and request samples of new products to see if I like those items.  I try to buy what is on sale and stock up if possible.  I scan newspaper and online ads to see what store has the best deals for my grocery dollars.  I have even contacted the manufacturer of my favorite products to see if I could obtain some coupons for the items.  I have been pleasantly surprised by the amount of savings I achieved by doing these few tasks.  But sometimes it feels like I need to do even more to save even more on my grocery budget.  Unfortunately, I don't always have time to go from one store to another for great savings.  There are times, I have too many things to accomplish and I have to find one store that does it all for me.


Luckily for me, Kroger is one such store that offers incredible deals to stretch the grocery dollar even farther than it would normally go.  Kroger offers a Deal of the Day from February 25, 2011 to March 12, 2011 in their Cartbuster program.  The Deal of the Day is available each day while supplies last.  In addition to the Deal of the Day, Kroger offers big savings all over the store.  But to make this even better for a Lady of Proverbs 31 is you can add your coupons to add to your savings on your families needs.  But Kroger is not done with the great savings.  You can enter for a chance to win the Deal of the Day for free!


Check out Kroger's web site to check out the Deal of the Day, current advertisement and pick out the coupons you need.  You can print the coupons out or use the electronic coupons they offer.  Your shopping cart will be busting with items you bought at a fraction of the cost.  


The Lady in Proverbs 31 worked diligently at all tasks she undertook.  She "watches over the affairs of her household" and you can too with a bit of help of Kroger (Proverbs 31:27a).  I look out for the items my children need.  I have one picky eater and a college student that no longer eats meat.  I have to find great deals on items my picky eater with braces will actually eat.  It can get very expensive purchasing some of those items.without coupons.  Sending care packages to my college son can be expensive depending on the items in the box.  You do not know how relieved I am when I can save more than what the postage costs to send the package.  


I hope you will check out your local Kroger store and take advantage of the incredible deals from today to March 12, 2011.  You will be pleasantly surprised by how much you will save on the foods your family loves, even the picky ones!

I changed the landscape of my home with glue dots

I love to do scrap-booking, crafts, sewing and other great craft ideas. My teenage boys will occasionally humor me and spend time scrap-booking or helping me do some type of craft project for homecoming dances.  Last fall we made a dragon for homecoming dance decorations.  So when I was looking at something to do with the boys (15 and 18) with the glue dots.  

We made some cards for the youngest son's friend who was having a birthday real soon.  That was a lot of fun.  My oldest and I spent some time making some thank you notes with the glue dots that really looked good.  My husband used the glue dots to keep the satellite dish box sitting on the top of the television.  But what I am most proud about is the quick change I was able to make in my dining room with the glue dots.  

The dining room windows have a wonderful view of outside that I had to cover with blinds.  So I was getting the house ready for company and thought I needed to do something different so that the sun won't be causing my guests to be blinded and sweating.  The blinds that are on the window are soooo boring.  

I had a tablecloth that I did not use of a celery green and picked up two inexpensive panels.  I had some grape vines and grapes that would look good on top of the window and added it all together.  Before I made a commitment to getting the rods and end pieces I wanted to see if it would cause my beautiful view to be permanently obstructed.  So I decided to use the removable glue dots to hold the "elements" of the window treatment up.  I had my boys help me hold them up and press on the glue dots while I worked on the next section. And well, here it is.
