We all like Kraft products and yesterday while I was at Martin's in Harrisonburg they had a New Coupon Booklet in the Spinner Rack by the Front Door.   This is a Booklet full of Great Kraft Coupons that are "Retailer Coupons" that you can use at Martin's and they do not Expire until 12-31-11.

These coupons also match up with this weeks in store promotion, Huddle to Fight Hunger, on Page 8 of the weekly ad for 9-4 thru 9-10-11.  If you purchase $25.00 of the participating Kraft food products, in the ad you will instantly get $7.00 off at the register - so instead of your out of pocket cost being $25.00 - it will get reduced to $18.00.   Now these coupons in this booklet make the deal even better - as you can further reduce your out of pocket expense buy using these coupons on the items.

A Prayer / Poem for Tenth Anniversary of 9-11-2001 - If Tomorrow Starts without Me

A friend sent this to me and I found it touching and appropriate for remembering those of 9-11.
I hope it touches you as it did me.

If tomorrow starts without me, don’t think we’re far apart,
for every time you think of me, please know I’m in your heart.
If tomorrow starts without me, and I’m not there to see,
If the sun should rise and find your eyes all filled with tears for me;
I wish so much you wouldn’t cry the way you did today,
while thinking of the many things we didn’t get to say.

I know how much you care for me, and how much I care for you,
and each time that you think of me I know you’ll miss me too;
But when tomorrow starts without me, please try to understand,
that an angel came and called my name and took me by the hand,
and said my place was ready in heaven far above,
and that I’d have to leave behind all those I dearly love.

But as I turned to walk away, a tear fell from my eye,
for all life, I’d always thought I didn’t want to die.
I had so much to live for and so much yet to do.
it seemed almost impossible that I was leaving you.
I thought of all the love we shared and all the fun we had.
If I could relive yesterday, I thought, just for a while,
I’d say goodbye and hug you and maybe see you smile.

But then I fully realized that this could never be,
for emptiness and memories would take the place of me.
And when I thought of worldly things that I’d miss come tomorrow.
I thought of you, and when I did, my heart was filled with sorrow.
But when I walked through Heaven’s gates, I felt so much at home.

When God looked down and smiled at me, from His great golden throne,
He said, "This is eternity and all I’ve promised you,
Today your life on earth is past but here it’s starts anew.
I promise no tomorrow, but today will always last.
and since each day’s the same, there’s no longing for the past.
But you have been so faithful, so trusting, so true.
Though there were times you did some things you knew you shouldn’t do.
And you have been forgiven and now at last you’re free.
So won’t you come and take my hand and share my life with me?"

So if tomorrow starts without me, don’t think we’re far apart,
for every time you think of me, please know I’m in your heart.

If you are in need of furniture or small household items don't forget to make a trip to Hess Furniture Store at 139 N Liberty Street, in Harrisonburg, VA.

You never know what you will find here.  The store is FULL of all sorts of things - Don't miss the upstairs. 

Everything you can imagine - sofas, chairs, tables, night stands, hutches, bed frames, lamps, kitchen items, pots, pans, old records, and so much more.

Have your ever ridden the Mega Bus - if not try it - it's Cheap transportation between Major City Destinations

The next time you want to get away for a fun day and don't want to drive - try the Mega Bus Service.  This is a wonderful, very affordable way to travel between major Metro Areas.   Routes run from major cities like Boston, Baltimore, Washington DC and even cities in the Mid West.

Mail in Rebates in Virgina - How to get Money back in the Mail

Virginia is a wonderland full of opportunity to get money back in the mail for items you purchase.  There are lots of rebates on food items to be found. 

These rebates are found in the grocery stores, generally in the form of a tear pad and will require you to submit the form and usually a dated cash register recipt that shows your required purchases were made in the period the rebate specifies.  Sometimes you will be required to submit the UPC code from the package of the items well.

Some rebates allow you to submit multiple receipts to meet the requirements for submission.  An example of this is a rebate that might say "Get $15.00 back on your in store purchase of $100.00"  Look on the back of this type of rebate - if it says "submit recept(s)" under the requirements then you can submit as many receipts as you need to show that you have spent $100.00 - and the best part is that they don't need to be from the same store even.  So Shop at Martin's, Krogers, Food Lion and as long as you spend $100.00 in total you would get $15.00 back in the form of a check.  This is a 15% savings for doing nothing more than submitting a form.

Just the other day I found a Rebate for Meat - It's a No Beer Purchase Required rebate from Budweiser Offer # 30596- if you spend $10.01 on ANY meat - mail in the receipt and the form you will get $5.00 - That's a 50% savings on something we all buy.   So the next time you are shopping look around and see if you can find these wonderful Mail in Rebates.
