[Lunamoth]

Thank you. I will go to Wall Mart tomorrow.

I was just thinking the same thing. I don't ave a girl so never buy Barbies.

Thank you. I will go to Wall Mart tomorrow.

No worries! I'm not a huge Barbie fan, but I don't mind them either, LOL.


Was at SDM this morning and picked up boxes of Royale tissues with DD and had a hard time finding them. A woman in a wheelchair found them for me! She was buying them too, so I gave her coupons for what she was buying. I never even blinked, I just did it. She was happy, I was happy I found the tissue. I turned and my daughter (5) was BEAMING she was smiling so brightly. She gave me a big hug and said "That was SO nice of you to share, Mommy!". Really hits you that they absorb everything they see, the good, especially and sadly, the bad. I'm glad she could be proud of her mommy!

PS. I don't count this as a RAOK example, just a story to share of how are actions can impact those who are watching who will, in turn, learn to do the same thing.!

Did I post that I mailed on Thursday? Geesh it's been such an insane week (funeral, family issues, appt's).

Hoping to get out more next week and get some RAOK's done. I really want to do the bubbles one (label a bunch of bubbles with a cute saying and leave them at the park), going to try and pick up bubbles on Tuesday and then leave them the next time we visit the park.

That is such a cute idea!

My wonderful package came from CouponLadyBird today. You did some great searching to learn that dark chocolate is my best friend. Love the nail polish too they are so cute. I will share this with my daughter & grand daughter for a spa night. The socks are perfect for my walking shoes. You put a big smile on my face. Did a little thank you dance too.

So glad you liked it!!!

Meant to post that I mailed on Thur as well -- did a VERY small RAOK today went to go shopping at No Frills and put 4 quarters in 4 buggies and handed them out to customers coming in and said for them to pass them on when they're done with them. Also last week we took some of my daughters gently used toys, books and clothing to a local resource centrer that donates to families in need in their area.

That's not small! The quarter is thoughtful! You have no idea how many times DH has taken my buggy quarter to add to his change for something and I'm scrambling around looking for one (cause I don't realize until I'm at the store!?!!?) LOL. I need a buggy fairy like you at my store!

I have just spent a very enjoyable hour reading all of your wonderful RAOK stories. I'm sorry I missed out on this train!

You ladies have inspired me for sure!

Yesterday I played coupon fairy at WM, Metro, SDM and No frills. Had lots of sept & oct expires that I wanted someone to be able to use. I also gave a woman my cart at NF, I only had 1 small box and it wasn't worth taking it into the parking lot so when I saw a woman looking for a quarter, I just gave her my cart.

Then I mailed off about 5-6 little cards to family and friends, just to say hello and say someone is thinking of them.

I also replied to a kijiji ad for mason jars. For some reason the previous owners left about 10 boxes of mason jars. We've been slowly giving them away. So when I saw the ad, I was like perfect! Dropping them off tomorrow.

I gave SIL some kids toys that my kids dont use anymore too. And I have a box of food to drop off at the food bank.

Haven't done the bubbles yet, has been icky and raining here and my little ones are sick so no park time lately.

oh and I plan to pick up a few cards on Thursday to send some SC'ers some RAOK's.

wowzers, well done, lots of RAOKs in the past day or so. Awesome!

noticed another SC was looking to save $ on her trip to Ontario, asked her which coupons she could use and mailed them to her.
