What would u spend it on....?

Well I havent blogged in a few days. Thought I would come and share a few words (for the very few who follow my blog)...Me and hubby were watching a program a few days back about people winning the lottery. It was telling the stories of some of the people who won the lottery and what they did with it. It got me thinking.... I truly believe I would not stop using coupons if i had the money to live comfortably. Its almost a way of life now! lol I cant imagine actually paying for shampoo! crazy! haha.... I would also like to start up a organization to help people in need of a car. We are currently without a car. Maybe february we will be financially able to get a car, It is so hard to be without one! we have to depend on people to take us places, and the times we do not, we walk and have many bags to carry from the grocery store. I wouldnt like to see anyone else in my situation. A car can be such a blessing for some people, with children a car is needed to take the children to the doctors, school, and many other places. Just a single couple like me and hubby are in need of a car, just to get around town and get grocerys and for hubby to maybe get a better job. If you have a car and have transport do not take it for granted! Be thankful! And if you are financially able to help another person who has a family and needs a car.... you will be blessed too!. It doesnt have to be a nice car, doesnt have to cost a lot... there are cars out there for $300-$400 that actually do work and will get around town!....well, we got the public transport to pick us up, and take us to the next town to go to kroger, Kroger is the only place I can get the fabulous deals to save me some money towards my car fund! lol Here is what we got! (note: the candy was supposed to be a deal: buy $15 get $5 off your next order, well the 2 for $4.00 candy was ringing up $1.47! so i didnt get my $15 worth like I planned, but still great price on candy!)
