Frugality Comes With Rewards

In the midst of our relocating to Nashville I wanted to save a few extra dollars by buying used blankets instead of renting them from a traditional moving company. So on my journey of saving dollars, I ended up at the local thrift store on a mission to buy a large amount of blankets. My idea was to purchase them, use them for the move and then donate them on the other end. Sounds like a great idea, right? Well, not only was I successful in my search for bags of blankets, but while I was there I decided to look around. In doing so, I found the score of a lifetime. Really, sit down you might not be able to believe this. Are you sitting? Okay, I found a like new if not new, black Dooney & Bourke bag. I am serious!!! Yes, not a knock off, but the real deal. Even better yet, it was priced at $7.00 and that day all the clothing and purses were 50% off. So I walked out the door with a $3.50 purse and bags of blankets. Amazing!!! Not only was I saving money, but I also came home with a little something special for me.

Be a good steward with what you've been allotted and you never know what blessing or bargain might come your way.
