Bi-Lo Highlights: 5/12 - 5/18

I love Bi-Lo.  I do.  It's close to home, the people are nice, and they like to make really funny Meal-Deal combinations (i.e. Pizza + Pizza Rolls + Tater Skins) that make me laugh.  I've been making fun of them so long though, I think they got the hint - because this week's Meal Deal makes sense!  There are lots of other good deals as well -including a 3-Day Sale (See at bottom) from Fri-Sun.  Let me know if you see something I missed!

Butterfly items are noted because they are not only GREAT deals, but GREAT donation items!  Non-perishable, super-cheap, and a blessing to someone else!

BOGO Time 2 $ave Style!

One of our favorite parts of a T2$ workshop is telling about Buy One Get Ones or BOGO.  The basic concept is that the price of the item is split in two and each item becomes HALF PRICE!  We're excited to make this offer to one of our upcoming classes. 

Clearwater Baptist Church, Athens TN

Saturday, May 15th Couponing 101, 102 & 103

When you sign up to attend this class and you register with your Flutter Friend (Coupon Buddy), you can both get HALF off your registration fee.  You must both register online and use the code "Friend" to receive the discount.  This is an incredible savings.  If you haven't attended a workshop before, Saturday would be the day to come!  Also, Clearwater is offering a complimentary lunch for those who attend all three classes! You can't get a better deal than that. 

We received the following poem from an upcoming participant and thought it was really cute:
Today is your day

So, do not delay
To ready yourself for couponing day.

Get in you car and don't stop
Til you reach the couponing workshop.

Oh the tricks you'll be a known'
When their coupon tips are flowin'

So the next time you go to the shop

Til you save, save save til you drop.

Encolsed is your registration and receipt
That reserves your special seat!

It doesn't matter who or how you got there
Just be aware

The Invisible Woman
 
Excerpt By Nicole Johnson

It started to happen gradually…
    One day I was walking my son Jake to school. I was holding his hand and we were about to cross the street when the crossing guard said to him, “Who is that with you, young fella?”
    “Nobody,” he shrugged.
    Nobody? The crossing guard and I laughed. My son is only five, but as we crossed the street I thought, oh my goodness, nobody?
    I would walk into a room and no one would notice. I would say something to my family, like “Turn the TV down, please.” And nothing would happen. Nobody would get up, or even make a move for the remote. I would stand there for a minute, and then I would say again, a little louder, “Would someone turn the TV down?” Nothing.
    Just the other night my husband and I were out to a party. We’d been there for about three hours and I was ready to leave. I noticed he was talking to a friend from work. So I walked over, and when there was a break in the conversation, I whispered, “I’m ready to go when you are.” He just kept right on talking.
    That’s when I started putting all the pieces together. I don’t think he can see me. I don’t think anyone can see me.
    I’m invisible.
    It all began to make sense, the blank stares, the lack of response, the way one of the kids will walk into the room while I’m on the phone and ask to be taken to the store. Inside I’m thinking, “Can’t you see I’m on the phone?” Obviously not. No one can see if I’m on the phone, or cooking, or sweeping the floor, or even standing on my head in the corner, because no one can see me at all.
    I’m invisible.
    Some days I am only a pair of hands, nothing more.
    Can you fix this?
    Can you tie this?
    Can you open this?
    Some days I’m not a pair of hands; I’m not even a human being.
    I’m a clock to ask, “What time is it?”
    I’m a satellite guide to answer, “What number is the Disney Channel?”
    I’m a car to order, “Right around 5:30, please.”
    I was certain that these were the hands that once held books and the eyes that studied history and the mind that graduated summa cum laude – but now they had disappeared into the peanut butter, never to be seen again.
    She’s going…she’s going…she’s gone!
    One night, a group of us were having dinner, celebrating the return of a friend from England. Janice had just gotten back from a fabulous trip, and she was going on and on about the hotel she stayed in. I was sitting there, looking around at the others all put together so well. It was hard not to compare and feel sorry for myself as I looked down at my out of style dress; it was the only thing I could find that was clean. My unwashed hair was pulled up in a banana clip and I was afraid I could actually smell peanut butter in it. I was feeling pretty pathetic when Janice turned to me with a beautifully wrapped
package and said, “I brought you this.”
    It was a book on the great cathedrals of Europe. I wasn’t exactly sure why she’d given it to me until I read her inscription. “To Charlotte, with admiration for the greatness of what you are building when no one sees.”
    In the days ahead I would read, no, devour, the book. And I would discover what would become for me, four life-changing truths, after which I would pattern my work:

•    No one can say who built the great Cathedrals—we have no record of their names.
•    These builders gave their whole lives for a work they would never see finished.
•    They made great sacrifices and expected no credit.
•    The passion of their building was fueled by their faith that the eyes of God saw everything.

    A legendary story in the book told of a rich man who came to visit the cathedral while it was being built, and he saw a workman carving a tiny bird on the inside of a beam. He was puzzled and asked the man, “Why are you spending so much time carving that bird into a beam that will be covered by the roof? No one will ever see it.”
    And the workman replied, “Because God sees.”
    I closed the book, feeling the missing piece just push into place. It was almost as if I heard God whispering to me, “I see you Charlotte. I see the sacrifices you make every day, even when no one else does. No act of kindness you’ve done, no sequin you’ve sewn on, no cupcake you’ve baked, is too small for me to notice and smile over. You are building a great cathedral, but you can’t see right now what it will become.”
    At times, my invisibility feels like an affliction. But it is not a disease that is erasing my life. It is the cure for the disease of my own self-centeredness. It is the antidote to my strong, stubborn, pride.
    I keep the right perspective when I see myself as a great builder. As one of the people who will show up at a job that they will never see finished, to work on something that their name will never be on. The writer of the book went so far as to say that no cathedrals could ever be built in our lifetime because there are so few people willing to sacrifice to that degree.
    When I really think about it, I don’t want my son to tell the friend he’s bringing home from college for Thanksgiving, “My mom gets up at 4 in the morning and bakes homemade pies, and then she hand bastes a turkey for 3 hours and presses all the linens for the table.” That would mean I’d built a shrine or monument to myself. I just want him to come home. And then if there is anything more to say to his friend, to add, “You’re gonna love it here.”
    As mothers, we are building great cathedrals. We cannot be seen if we’re doing it right. And one day it is very possible that the world will marvel, not only at what we have built, at the beauty that has been added to the world by the sacrifices of invisible women.

I just saved $107 on my hotel! WOOT!

I haven't stayed in a hotel in years - but I am in one RIGHT NOW (in Louisville, Ky!) so that I can be here as my little brother graduates from Medical School (Yay!)

When trying to find the cheapest way humanly possible to get a hotel for 3 nights, I decided to take my own advice from a recent post I wrote on "Travel Deals" and use a cashback program and a hotel dealfinding site...  AND WOW!!  Let me show you how I saved a ton!

• First, I typed "Hotels.com" into my ShopAtHome Toolbar (Sign up HERE).  They offer 6% Cash Back if you enter Hotels.com through their site - so hooray!  That's already some money saved!

• Then, seeing that ShopAtHome had some Hotels.com coupons available - I checked them out... and there was a $20 Rebate on a 3-Night Stay!  Thanks ShopAtHome!

• Next, I entered the Hotels.com site and found a hotel that was 30% Off the regular rate - Yippee!  It was right in the location I need to be and everything!

• When I got to checkout, it asked if I had a coupon code - so I opened up another tab in my browser and searched for "Hotels.com Coupon Code".  I found one right away via RetailMeNot - 10% Off each night using code "41010"!

My 3-Night Stay if booked through the hotel's website = $237
(- about 30% Hotels.com Discount) = $197.97
(- 10% Off Coupon Code) = $179.67
(- $20 Mail-In Rebate) = $159.67
(- 6% Shop At Home CashBack) = $150.17
My 3-Night Stay booked through ShopAtHome & Hotels.com = $150.17!

★I saved $93 guys - enough to pay for Gas both ways!★

Other great sites to check: Travelocity,  Expedia, Hotwire
