Hunting, Gathering, Preparing |
Thanks to the internet, online shopping has created "Cyber Monday" to go along with "Black Friday" (by the way, does anyone know if Saturday and Sunday have special names?), and that is more my style...if I MUST shop!! There are 3 things I like to take into consideration:
- Avoid Crowds! The internet may be busy too, but I can shop in an old pair of sweats ( or my sleepwear), and a pot of coffee nearby. Win/win!
- Save Money! Sales and coupons are a great way to cut the cost of items, and especially if it is for something you planned to buy anyway. There are coupons available to download.
- Helping Others! This time of year, many in this country are preparing for a huge feast with family or friends, and we make it a point to remember our blessings. This often proves to be a time when charitable giving to others less fortunate rises tremendously. I feel that we are blessed so we can bless others.
Watch the video of Todd Smith of Save1.com explaining more about the company:
Family owned and operated, Save1 provides coupons and special offers from thousands of top online retailers on Black Friday, Cyber Monday and throughout the year---enabling shoppers to feed a hungry child with every offer redeemed. Incorporating the Save Money, Save Lives principle, Save1 donates the cost of a meal to one of its nonprofit partner organizations every time a shopper uses a coupon or special offer from the site. For more information, please visit http://save1.com.
LIKE Save1.com on Facebook and you will see that they are serious!! Explore their page and I believe you will be impressed! So, by all means, count your blessings and enjoy your shopping. God blesses us and we should enjoy His provision. However, to also be able to share our blessing with others is a gift above no other. So happy hunting/shopping...and enjoy this special season in your life!!
And do not neglect doing good and sharing; for with such sacrifices God is pleased ~ Hebrews 13:16

Believe it or not I now agree with every word that was posted.I panic to think about going shopping
. The crowd is the main problem. So Cindy we are both on the same wave length when it comes to holiday shopping.
It took me enough years to get you to see things MY way!! LOL! You quickly learned to look for a bargain once you got married, but those Aycock "shopping genes" were apparently too good of a fit for a long time. Although, now that you are easing more to my warped sense of humor too...I may be going too far!! Not only are you a favorite cousin, but one of my best friends for more years than either of us care to mention. Love you!!
