But I really think I need to expand my circle a bit.<br /><br />Eunice, the hostess gift idea is one that I've considered but I've always been worried that the people might be "brand snobs" and not appreciate it. Maybe I'm worrying too much?<br /><br />Gina, you are welcome. You often challenge me with your honesty on your blog.<br /><br />Michelle, that is amazing! $5 for all that stuff and look at all the fun you had giving it away! I know what you mean about you can't leave free stuff there. I find I can sometimes pass up free but if I make money on it? Well, then I am a sucker.Lydiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01292982876856374725noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8941253261489920628.post-71183856759592337092010-08-03T09:40:50.550-04:002010-08-03T09:40:50.550-04:00I love giving people stuff out of my stockpile! My...I love giving people stuff out of my stockpile! My brother and his wife are both in college right now so for the last year I've been keeping them supplied in razors, shampoo, bodywash and occassionally food items. My sister also got married several months ago and I was able to give her 3 grocery bags full of stuff. I figured it up and I only had around $5 in all that stuff. Now both my sister and SIL have started shopping at CVS and Rite Aid so I won't need to give them stuff anymore. Which means I need to find somebody else to give stuff to because who really needs 20 bottles of shampoo and body wash? I suppose I should quit buying stuff like that but if it's free I can't leave it there. ;)Michellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12724522027116910155noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8941253261489920628.post-11045469225702544932010-08-02T10:35:00.900-04:002010-08-02T10:35:00.900-04:00Such a good reminder that we all have something to...Such a good reminder that we all have something to contribute to the body of Christ! It is so easy to fall into the independent self-sufficient (really selfish) mind-set. I've quit couponing (not that I ever was into it seriously like you.) But God has given me much that I could be sharing. Thanks for the challenge!<br />GinaGinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05420137490490341730noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8941253261489920628.post-48920241976149644962010-07-30T16:17:37.919-04:002010-07-30T16:17:37.919-04:00We have a box full of extra food, personal hygiene...We have a box full of extra food, personal hygiene items, etc, and both of our families know it's coming to any family dinner...that's when they do their shopping. :-) Also, we love to take a variety of items as hostess gifts or when we stay overnight with friends! It's so fun to share our blessings with others!<br /><br />~Eunice BAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
