Coupons!
Here is some information from one of our MOPS moms, Denise Keller. We hope that you all will find this useful!
I have decided to take charge of this and make it handy for all of us who use coupons.
This is the way it is going to work:
1. Everyone write down any coupon sites you know
2. Everyone write down either the manufacturer or the brand of items for which you need coupons
3. Using these lists, this information will be shared and available for use
4. Bring coupons you do not use, but know that others will use
5. They will be seperated by the following:
a.grocery items (food/canned goods,cereal,etc.)
b.paper products (paper towels, toliet paper,etc.)
c.Baby (diapers,formula,training pants,etc.)
6. I don't forsee any other catagories nescessary - feel free to let me know
7. You will need to check the coupon boxes for the coupons you need
8. At the end of every month, I will throw away any coupons that have not been taken, whether they are expired or not to reduce the amount of coupons that need to be looked through.
Other than that, happy cutting and saving!!!!
I would like to keep this going even when MOPS is not meeting so maybe we can come up with times and days to meet to keep sharing the coupons?!?
Loadable sites:(these load into your store card)

Love Dare #2
Love is Kind
~Be kind to one another, tender-hearted, forgiving each other, just as God in Christ also has forgiven you.~
-Ephesians 4:32-
Kindness can be broken down into four basic core ingredients: Gentleness, Helpfulness, Willingness and Initiative. You will never learn to love until you learn to demonstrate kindness.
In addition to saying nothing negative to your spouse again today, do at least one unexpected gesture as an act of kindness.
