Some FREEBIES I picked up

This week has been a great week of FREE or Nearly FREE purchases...woohoo! BUT before I get to that...let me start by saying that this past weekend the Faithful & Frugal ministry pantry along with help from my personal stockpile and from Cissy Durham (a F&F alum) was able to bless a family in need with several hundred dollars worth of groceries. PRAISE GOD!!! It was awesome and I wanted to take a moment and remind everyone why I do what do...why WE do what we do...not just to bless our own families BUT more importantly to be a blessing to others as well. KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK!!!

Now, this is a really long post...but worth the read :-)
