Hello everyone!
Well, we are a week away from our next meeting and I have been contemplating some ideas for our next meeting. What devotional should we do? What new information can I share?
I haven't many tips this week because I am on an an extremely tight budget and to be 100% honest, I haven't looked too hard because I wouldn't be able to buy anyway. Can anyone relate?
As for the devotional, does anyone have any ideas? Leave a comment if you would like to share.
I will tell you one tip I will be using: $1 Boston Market Meal Deal! For those of who may not know already, you can print out a coupon on Boston Market's website for a $1 meal! I told my honey to get ready for our "dinner date" tonight! :-)
God is good and I am abiding in his Word, His peace, and I am trusting Him, because NOTHING is impossible with God! Can I get an amen?
I hope you girls are having a great week, and I hope your checking the blog! LOL!
P.S. If your new here and checking out the blog for the first time, please see my first post, "Who Knew Saving Money Could Be This Much Fun" for a quick welcome and overview of our group!
UPDATE
Today I was looking at my Grocery Game Meijer list (thegrocerygame) and was thinking about how much this list helps me find the best deals week after week. Honestly, I'm not good enough on my own yet! So, I thought I would include these videos, maybe it could help some of you too!

Who knew saving money could be this much fun?
Hello everyone!
Welcome to the Southpoint Clippers IN2IT group blog spot!
The purpose of this blog is to keep our members informed, share tips and ideas, and attract new members!
For those of who don't know what the Southpoint Clippers IN2IT group is, it is a group of people who are "IN2IT". We are into coupons! Saving green! Pinching pennies. Stretching our dollar until it screams!
We are also into God, and our Savior Jesus Christ. Many of our members attend Southpoint Community Christian Church in Trenton. However, our group is not exclusive. Anyone who is interested in fellowshiping, sharing money saving tips and ideas, swapping coupons, making friends.... is welcomed.
Our second meeting was Tuesday, October 20, 2009 and it was a blast! There was a lot of information given and a lot of great tips and ideas shared. I bet a lot of you would like to be in on all the fun right? Well, here is a taste of what our group is doing:
~ Collecting expired coupons for the military.
~ Swap coupons with other members.
~ Share advice on how and where to obtain valuable coupons, and how to organize them. Exp. coupon binder
~ Share homemade recipes for everyday household items like laundry detergent.
~ Short devotional and prayer.
This just touches the surface of what our group is doing! We are just getting off the ground! We plan on organizing ways to use our abundance of stockpiling to bless others in whatever ways we can. So what does that look like? We could donate to the food pantry or share our coupons with people in our community who really need them. We are also actively seeking suggestions for doing a group project for the holidays. So please e-mail me or post your ideas in the comment section.
