And just in case you missed it, apparently the $4/1 method laundry detergent coupon has been reset.

The detergent is a little on the pricey side, but this high value coupon paired with a sale should still make for a great deal.

Menu Plan

Right now I'm working on trying to get rid of some of the food that has been hanging out for a while.  I'm also trying to avoid going to the store for as long as I can -- I spent way too much at the store in January!  Having a plan is saving me some stress and money on eating out.  My father in law got married this weekend, and we got sent home with a big pile of leftovers from the reception.

what Jesus sends us.  It consists in

(Turtle pond, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia)

I will cause all my goodness to pass

in front of you, and I will proclaim

my name, the Lord, in your presence.

I will have mercy on whom

I will have mercy, and

I will have compassion on whom

I will have compassion.

Exodus 33:19
