Tricks Grocery Stores Use
Supermarkets are waging an all-out war for your money. According to MSNBC, the stakes are incredibly high, because their profit margins are less than 2 percent, meaning that for every hundred dollars you spend at a store, they make less than $2 in profit. Here’s how stores are trying to get your business:
Long story short...the goal of the store is to get us to spend money. Stay within your budget & ALWAYS ALWAYS bring your coupons!!!
· First, they’re making shopping more of a sensory experience, by misting water over the vegetables so they’ll seem fresher, showcasing rotisserie chickens rotating over open flames, and filling the store with the aroma of fresh-baked bread. They also present a lot of products in Broadway-caliber displays, with special lighting and backdrops.
· What else do grocery stores do to get your money? A lot of them make you think you’re getting a good deal, even if you’re not. They do that by lowering prices on the staples you buy the most - like eggs, milk and toilet paper. So you’ll assume the whole supermarket is cheaper – and won’t notice if everything else is 10 percent higher than normal.
· Many stores have also doubled the size of their shopping carts, and watched as people immediately began buying 40 percent more.
· Newer stores also force you to meander by pulling out the long, regimented rows of shelves, and replacing them with aisles that twist and turn – sending you past as many tempting products as possible.
· Lastly, there are hand-held self-checkout tools, like Scan-It at Stop-and-Shop stores. They keep computerized files of every purchase you’re made for the past year. They know what you’re buying down to your brand of deodorant – and the hand-held scanner shows your location in the store at any moment. So, if you’re in the cereal aisle, an ad may pop up on the scanner for cereal. Or if you never buy paper products at their store, they’ll send you a coupon hoping to get you to change your spending habits.

Losing Heart
Marybeth Whalen
“Therefore, since through God’s mercy we have this ministry, we do not lose heart.”
2 Corinthians 4:1 (NIV)
Devotion:
In the mid 90’s I chose 2 Corinthians 4:1as my life verse. At the time, God was teaching me a big lesson about truly appreciating where He had me in life. As a mom of several small children I could often be found complaining about the mess, the noise, the lack of “me” time. I thought often about running away, pointing my car at the horizon and driving until the road ran out.
God began showing me that being a mom was about having a ministry to these little people He had given me. When I found this verse, I felt that it summed up in one line all that I needed to remember: It’s only through His mercy that I have these children and—while I am in the midst of my ministry—I should not lose heart, as I was apt to do. I clung to this verse as a spiritual life rope.
Fast forward to the other day as I was doing my Bible study. My circumstances have changed, as circumstances do. I am no longer that young frantic mother. This time I was struggling with something else as I flipped past 2 Corinthians 4:1. My eyes fell to the notation I’d made years ago: “MY LIFE VERSE” it said in all caps. I re-read the familiar verse, but this time I applied my current situation to it.
Years later, I am just as quick to lose heart. I have a ministry that looks different from the one I had then. This one involves new challenges, new feelings of inadequacy. Yet I was reminded again that it is only through His mercy that I have this ministry. And in the midst of this ministry—even as I struggle with challenges and inadequacies—I should not lose heart.
What can we do when we are losing heart in the midst of the ministry God has given us, whatever it might be? I went to scripture and found some answers to this question:
Luke 18:1 tells us we should always pray and not give up.
2 Corinthians 4:16 tells us we should remember that we are being renewed inwardly day by day.
Galatians 6:9 tells us that we should focus on the harvest that will come if we do not give up.
Ephesians 3:12-13 tells us that we should find comfort in the amazing ability we have to approach God with freedom and confidence.
2 Thessalonians 3:13 tells us that we should just keep doing what is right.
And finally Hebrews 12:3 tells us that we should think about Jesus and what He endured on our behalf. Nothing we are going through will compare with that.
These verses help me to keep things in perspective when I lose heart and I hope they will help you, too. Whether you are a single woman caring for an elderly parent, a mom of young children, a professional in a tough job, a wife in a struggling marriage, or a woman chasing after her dreams, it’s easy to lost heart from time to time. It’s not whether we will, it’s what we’ll do about it when we do. Armed with these verses we can remember that God in His mercy gave us a ministry, and we can live out our callings without losing heart if we will only keep turning to Him.
Dear Lord, I know I am where You want me, that You gave me this ministry. And I know that You do not want me to lose heart but to persevere. Help me to remember to focus on You when I want to run away - to find my strength in You. Thank You for Your mercy. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.

Extreme Couponing is BACK!!!
Extreme Couponing on TLC is coming back April 6th. What do you think about that show? True stockpiling or hoarding?? At my workshops I will not teach you how to coupon the Extreme Couponing way. My message is more about "Get to Give" not "Get to Get/Hoard."

Food Prices Going Up!!!
Couponing has been an important thing for me & my family. It's a great way to trim the budget & my way to help contribute financially. Look at coupons like money...they can really make a huge difference. If you are the "to coupon or not to coupon" fence then check out this article. With gas prices & everything else going up it only makes sense to get organized & use coupons. Never pay retail again! If you need help then I'm here for you. Contact me to do a Couponing Workshop at couponingworkshops@yahoo.com.KRCG-TV Story
Food costs predicted to rise this year
Here to Serve!
