SHADES OF GREY

not everything in this life is black and white

Cheap Thrills

After spending an absolute fortune on groceries at Giant over many months, Lamar and I decided to cash in our fuel points for money off our gasoline. The way it works is similar to Kroger...for every $100 spent on groceries, you earn $0.10 off per gallon of gasoline. You can even save up your discounts and use them all at once.

When we pulled in and tried to access our fuel points, something wasn't working properly on the machines so Lamar went ot get the attendant for help. He came out and helped us and his jaw dropped when he saw that we had earned $1.80 off per gallon. That meant we only had to pay $1.69 a gallon!!! I can't remember the last time I paid such a low price for gas!
We seriously laughed and took pictures while we filled up our cars with super cheap gas. In all we spent $50.97 to fill up two cars, but we got a whopping 30 gallons of gas!!!
I have to admit, I feel a little silly getting so thrilled over saving money. Luckily Lamar was just as excited....

about this blog

Although I have been blogging since 2007, this blog is new for me. It signifies the union of the Buntons and the Cokers to create one big, happy family - we hope...

I want this blog to be a place to show off pictures of the kids, to share exciting news, to tell silly stories and maybe even a few sad ones. I want this blog to be a record of our family as we grow and learn and love throughout the years.

I hope that those of you who follow our blog enjoy some of my musings. I hope it makes you smile and maybe even laugh a little bit. I hope that some of you even take the time to comment on different posts.

A friend of mine once said something that I love: "I smile because I have no idea what is going on!" Well, this blog is a way for me to sit down and remember what has gone on each month - and hopefully that will be the reason that I am smiling.
