organic vegetables and fruits

HERE is a guide that tell you what fruits and vegetables contain the most amount of pesticide when purchased conventionally instead of organic. in my mind, the "dirty doxen" as the chart refers to them will be the ones that i will strive to purchase organic and the others will only be purchased organic if they are comparable in price. this is a great piece of information.

thanks to keeper of the home for the tip

adoption

this has always been a close topic to my heart. one of my precious friends has a connection with the woman that writes about her trip to ethiopia here. and this is her personal blog that tells the story about her families journey through adoption. adoption is such a precious gift to give a child, much like the most precious gift that is available to us through Jesus Christ. i just wanted to pass this family's story on to you.

ps if you need to take your deal over $20 to use the coupon they have recyclable shopping bags at the front for $1.99 and they are really cute.

deal update with a mocha on top

i went to meijer today and did this deal. it works. oh yea! 20 boxes for $7.50.

then i went to kroger and i bought 10 bags of the chocolate chips and three motts applesauce that were discontinued for $12 and some change. that motts deal is a good one. when you buy three a catalina for $1 prints off. roll the coupon. it will keep printing. i went through the line 4 times. buy the ones that are marked down to 92 cents.

then i drove through starbucks and enjoyed a mocha with even greater pleasure because i had saved some serious cash, and i earned that mocha.

is it sad that my shopping exersions each week are reduced to the grocery store? is that sad? or is it contentment with where i am, right now? what do you think? is there anyone out there that is in the same boat? the ship has set sail and headed due north to toward kroger.
