Paying it forward

We truly are blessed and I need to realize this more often. Rather, I need to take heed to the old addage "Count Your Blessings."

One of our blessings is that in less than two months, no more formula. Buying formula at about $25 a can weekly or more was definitely an expense I thought we would avoid with nursing.

On more than one occasion, we have gone to purchase formula to find a store coupon hanging off the shelf. You see, some blessed soul saved all those crazy coupons that print out at the cash register based off the food you bought that day. Instead of throwing theirs away (of which I am very guilty), they slipped there's under the item.

So, I started to pay it forward with the formula coupons. But as I was shredding receipts yesterday and found a bunch of those coupons expired and co-mingled with receipts, I realized I had been slacking on paying it forward.

Anyone who has bought formula knows how even just a few dollars off formula can save a ton. I'm going to be better about paying coupons forward. I know it brightens my day when I've found them under a formula. Thanks for the blessings!
