1 Way To Always Save Big Bucks!


When I shop I walk out of every store saving anywhere between 75%-100%!!!
But I would never accomplish this task without doing this 1 thing!

It doesn't matter how many coupons I clip, how many times I check the websites, or how much I stalk the clearance; If I don't do this 1 thing my budget will get screwed up every time! 

My #1 shopping secret is PRAYER!


As I get into truck I say a prayer to my Heavenly Father. I ask him to help me find the items on my list, for my coupons to work properly, to help me find the items that my family needs or that others could use. I ask for helping finding items that cost pennies or will be free so I can either put in my stockpile or donate. 

And I testify that God answers my prayer every single time.
Last night I went to Walgreens to pick up toliet paper and paper towels. I budgeted $35 to cover the cost of everything plus tax. So while I was looking at the summer toys like water guns and chalk the employee came up to me and said that each items was ringing up 9 cents! Regularly each were 99 cents! So I grabbed a few items since I had an in-store gift card for $2. 
When I went to the register everything rang up cheaper and with God's help my total for $176 worth of items only cost me $33! 


So I was able to get the 4- 12 packs of Charmin and 2-6pack of Scott paper towels 
PLUS
4 boxes of cereal
2 spiderman alarm clocks
1 Crayola Star Wars box tin of crayons
1 Easter "Rejoice" Cross
1 large perfume that I'll use for Mother's Day
59 summer toys
(water guns, chalk, water balloons, parachute men, helicopters, flying disc, jacks, bouncy balls, etc)
So I was able to spend less and get more and this only happens when I prayed for God's help. 

And to tell you there are times when I forget to prayer and when I shop this is when I will miss or forget a coupon, something comes up the wrong price and I don't catch it, my coupons will beep at the register, or I grab the wrong item for my ibotta, etc. Then I have double the work fixing the mistake so I make sure I pray every time. 
Give it a try. Heavenly Father will not let you down.
