Well, not long after, I kept noticing her posting pictures of groceries and personal care items that she purchased for so little money. She, once again, got my curiosity up enough that I had to ask her how on earth was she doing that. She showed me all her great websites for finding great coupons … convinced me to start buying at least two Sunday papers for the coupons … and I have really saved a lot of money since the first of the year. Not only that, I have so much more groceries and personal care items in my pantry and bathroom cabinets … enough to last for months.

The best part … I can give so much more away than ever before. I am a stay-at-home mom who home schools and writes, but basically we live on one income. We are probably the only “one income” family on our street. Earlier in the year, the post office did their yearly food drive, and we were the only family on the street that put out an overflowing sack of grocery items to donate.

It’s just proof that one can do much on one income if you take advantage of money saving opportunities.

I thank my good friend, Lucrecia, for the interview and for the special memory/keepsake of an article on her – written/compiled by me. That is mighty special indeed! And I thank my precious Savior, who makes blessings like this possible.
