We had earned a bunch of Beech Nut baby food coupons and were unable to use them all before Nick began eating table foods instead. I carried them around in my wallet for a few weeks, thinking I would offer them to anyone I saw with a baby in the grocery store. I didn't see any babies or if I did, I didn't remember to give away the coupons.
On Thursday night, waiting for Xander's prescription to be filled at Publix, I saw a couple shopping in the baby aisle and the woman was pregnant. I asked if they could use them by the expiration date and they were very grateful. I was just happy to be able to give them away instead of throwing them away.
This morning, on Saturday, I went grocery shopping for the week. They only had one lane open which said Express Lane, 10 Items Or Less, and I had tons of items, but there wasn't any other choice that I could see. I let a couple people go in front of me; they only had one thing to buy versus my family food for the week. It would have been silly not to. So then as I was about to check out, a man came up to me and handed me a $10 off coupon for the whole grocery bill and asked if I wanted to use it. Absolutely! It was a real gift.
It is strange that just after giving away my own coupons I was given one that I could use. Makes you think...
