I’ve been looking forward to writing this post for a long time. I’ve even formulated it in my head a few times in hopes that this day was coming. And now it’s here.

I am so happy to share with you that this week Wes accepted a job as youth pastor at Grace Bible Church of Souderton, PA.

Oh wow. That was fun to write!

We are so excited about this next step in our journey. Little did we know when Wes lost his job last year that it would be almost a year and a half before we knew what the next step in our lives would be.

It hasn’t been easy, but it has been good. In fact, this blog is a direct result of Wes being laid off. I’d definitely say that’s good!

But now, we are ready for the next step in our adventure. Plus all those other emotions that accompany a big change in your life. Nervous. Sad. Overwhelmed. Sentimental. But mostly excited.

And, have no fear. Although our circumstances are changing, the blog will continue. We are moving to an area where the cost of living is MUCH higher than where we live now. Living large on a limited budget will continue to be our motto!

If you’d like learn more about our journey to this point, feel free to check out my other blog here.

Now, any tips on moving on a limited budget? I’ll take all the help I can get!

Walgreens PhotoStamps Deal Gets Sweeter

In case you need another reason to sign up for a Upromise account, I’ve got one for you! (Don’t forget to use code SNYDERS3 when you sign up.)

Reports are coming in that the PhotoStamps moneymaker is working at Walgreens.

To make this deal even sweeter, when you use the code from the kit to do a PhotoStamps transaction, sign in through Upromise. (Simply go to Upromise and type in PhotoStamps in the search box.) You will receive $8 for each transaction!

PLUS… if you purchase the kit on Friday, July 31, why not see if you can use this 15% off Walgreens coupon? It says it is for qualifying purchases, but I say it’s worth a try!

Now if I can just get to Walgreens, my life would be complete.

I am so excited to share this news for my readers who have gluten allergies because I know how hard it is to find coupons for gluten-free products.

Betty Crocker is offering a coupon for a FREE Gluten-Free Dessert Mix up to a $4 value. Simply call General Mills Consumer Services number at 1-800-446-1898 and select option #4 on the main menu. Tell the customer service rep that you are interested in the coupons. You will need to answer a couple of questions regarding your family’s consumption of gluten and then your coupon will be on its way!

Thanks Money Saving Mom!

I just checked out the preview for next week’s Rite Aid ad, and it is FULL of freebies.

I recommend printing out the $1/2 BIC coupon here (if you haven’t yet) before tomorrow since coupons typically re-set at the beginning of the month. The Bic Cristal Stic Pens are 2/$1 next week or FREE after coupon.

While you are there, print out the $5/$25 Rite Aid purchase coupon as well. You’ll be sure to be able to use it for a moneymaker next week!
