Here is my favorite couple of hauls from this past week!

First, I went Febreeze crazy at CVS!
I found a ton of 75% OFF Febreeze in the clearance section and danced all over the store!  I’ve found these at BOTH CVS’s in my town – so check yours out and bring your 8/29 P&G Coupons!

(4) Febreeze Luminaries $3.75 (Reg. $15)
(1) Febreeze Noticables $2.50 (Reg. $10)
(1) Febreeze Noticeables Twin refill $2.25 (Reg. $9)
(1) Febreeze Pet Odor Spray $1.62 (Reg. $6.48)
Total = $21.12 + $2 Tax
I used $4/$20 + (4) $4/1 Luminaries + (1) $1/1 Noticeables + (1) $1/1 Refill + (1) $1/1 Spray
WOOPS!  They Owed me $0.12, so I had to throw in a plastic summer plate :)
(I saved $96!!!)

Then I swung by Food Lion to see if there were any Aquapods left – and some sweet, generous person had left EXACTLY THREE on the shelf!  So I was able to do the freebie deal:

Buy (3) Aquapod 8-Packs: $1 ea  (Reg. $2.79)
Pay $3 ~ Get $3 Off Your Next Order Catalina
(makes them FREE!)

This is an article from Focus on the Family’s magazine Thriving Family.  It is a great resource and I enjoy reading it each month.  This particular article caught my attention because it is in the same community of spirit that we challenge through Time 4 Hope.  While it is a longer post than we normally put up, I hope you’ll read it at full length and allow it to challenge your heart.

Love as a Lifestyle
