Lola's RAOK Challenge and Exchange Train

[javamama1974]

WOW received my envie today from TTBY -- you are SO generous WOW is all I can say thx for the coupons and HOLY your too kind and shouldn't have those 2 movie theatre gift cards is TOTALLY amazing I can't thank you enough and a HUGE thank you to Bargain Hunter -- also reading through all your RAOKS everyone -- there is SO Much generosity in here. Well a few nights ago we went to superstore Mobile shop as I had planned on getting my hubby a new cell phone provider and plan and found a PERFECT pkg for him $40 a month for everything we need and want with a 2 yr contract -- however the BEST thing was the phone was FREE and to boot they threw in $150 in gift cards for Superstore in $25 increments -- well as my most recent RAOK I decided to run to No Frills last night for a few items and while there I was approached by a older gentleman asking if I had $.65 as he wanted to pick up a loaf of bread and a few other items and he said he was a bit short -- at that moment I decided to gift him 1 of the $25 gift cards -- he didn't want to take it but I insisted and said it would make me feel better if he did he was so and I felt so happy to have been able to help him out. Thx again EVERYONE for all your inspirations of RAOKS as this kind gesture was inspired by all of you -- BTW thx again Bargain Hunter and TTBY feedback left for you both

Took a friend out to show her how to coupon shop. Mom with 2 boys that love to eat and use products. She was so happy to price match and use coupons at London drugs. This was towards hair color products & house hold item's. Plus helped her get a free shampoo with the hair dye. The sign was still up so they honored the free product from last week. Off to Canadian tire to help get her some cheap resolve with the 2 dollars coupons. Our trip started with a baggie of coupons. Later today I Roak her with a new coupon binder to help her get more organized for saving next time. I filled the new binder with a few coupons of products she loves to buy for her family of four.
Let me tell you she was doing the happy dance after we shopped. I know there is a new happy coupon mom in our town.

well its miserable here, raining, grey, icky.. and I was feeling rather yuck UNTIL i checked my mail and there was a envie STUFFED into my mailbox... i really wish CP employees would offer keys to a larger box... when they put something in a mailbox that is slightly larger then the opening.. it took a good tug and pull to get it out. ....anyway it was an awesome RAOK from...
GRACESMOMMY ! a pen/fridge pad list. going to put that to use for my son. let HIM keep track of the food now. hah ha!

smiled at everyone I saw today (I was having a really bad day), small RAOK made others smile in return.

I picked up garbage from the playground my kids were playing at this afternoon.

I donated shoes and clothes, adult and kids. Will be doing toys this weekend. Also picked up 4 packs of travel games from RCSS - they are $4.44 (save $15.55) and are travel sized Monopoly, Connect 4, Battle Ship and Clue. Will go to a Christmas toy drive.

aww, i'm glad you liked it

I've been sick the past few days so haven't done too many RAOKs. Managed to send out a few envelopes to other SCers, and I knit a couple pairs of mittens for our local coat drive. Assuming it stops raining tomorrow I hope to wash a couple of old snow suits that are still in good condition to donate along with the mittens

Still haven't done our bubbles yet! lol. But I did drop off the mason jars today.

I'm also ordering a couple extra books from Scholastic and I'm going to donate them to the library. Can never have enough books.

Glad to see people's RAOKs are going so well!

[gracesmommy]

that's a really good idea about the books to the library. i've dropped off lots of movies before. the books at our library are in dire need of an update. maybe when we go to the schoolastic bookfair next week we'll see if there's a few extra there to pick up.

Just got home and there was a wonderful envie waiting for me!

Thank you so very much Yellow Tamborine! The People Crossword book made me squeel with delight - I've been looking for something like that for ages! Seriously might have been the best surprise I've gotten in a long time. Plus I rec'd 2 Chocolate bars (yum), 2 nail polishes and a whole envie of coupon in a very sweet birthday card. Thank you so very much, everything was so perfect!
