Giving and bulk shopping: sometimes money isn't the most important thing

Remember that Staples coupon? (see 10/19/07 entry) VP (she knows who she is) turned around and blessed two co-workers with it as a birthday gift! Wow—two people who I did not even know were blessed because of one little $15 coupon.

SU sponsored a Farmer’s Market today. Picked-up whole bag of macintosh apples for $3; zucchinni bread for $3; and a small 4 oz. container of organic roasted curry cashews that never made it home. Cost wasn’t the issue here, although these are all good deals. It’s simply nice to be able to support local farmers and merchants.

Bought white and colored paper for home office. Used $10 coupon received from opening BJ’s wholesale club membership. Should have cost $17. Cost $7. Saved $10. I realize this may seem rather expensive for paper, but these are reams of 700-800 sheets, so I will not have to constantly run out and buy more.
