For those of you who may not know, the CVS Green Bag tag is a great tool to earn some free money. This week, in honor of earth week, it is free after ECBs, so now is a great time to pick one up. Each day that you purchase items at CVS without using a plastic bag and scan this tag, it registers on your card. Every 4th time that it is scanned, $1 will print at the bottom of your receipt to use on your next purchase. Everyone wins! If you only visit once per week, this adds up to $13 completely FREE to spend on whatever you would like at CVS. I don't know about you, but I can make that $13 stretch a LOOONNNG ways with all the great deals they offer!
If you don't already own one, this week would be a great time to get one for free to try it out. What do you have to lose?

I know it's been a while since my last post- thank you for your patience and concern in my absence! Let me share with you what's been going on in my life... :)
God richly blessed us with the opportunity to allow our church to share the Gospel in a PUBLIC school each day last week in an after school program. It was an amazing week of seeing God at work! We were able to share the great news of Jesus in the lives of 80+ kids that may have otherwise never heard, and we are still hearing stories of what God did! So many seeds were planted- we serve an awesome God and I was so thankful to be a part of such an amazing opportunity.
It did, however, consume my time and energy last week, and left me with no time for deal hunting or blogging. All my time and attention was spent preparing and working. This kind of opportunity doesn't come around every day! While coupons are awesome, sharing the love of Christ with others is even better, and I thank you so much for your understanding of this brief halt of the blog. I've been able to catch back up with life now, and all things have resumed as normal! Stay tuned today for a few more posts! Thanks for faithfully being a part of my coupon journey!
