Great Deal and a Great Story!

What a GREAT DEAL!
I love it when there are great deals out
there on things that you actually use!
Smiths had this great deal on Powerade!
Having two boys who play sports almost
year round we go through this stuff like crazy!
8 cases for $31.80
can you say .25 per bottle!!
We definitely stocked up!
(8 more cases hiding)

Now for a GREAT STORY!
While we were at Smiths getting our
great deal on Powerade,
Jeff wanted to buy some gum.
Being the thoughtful boy that he is
he also bought a package for Austin and
a package for Sam. When we got home
(and remember we live 40 min from the store)
Jeff was emptying out his pockets and
counting his change when he got to thinking
that the cashier must have given him
a dollar too much. So he got out a piece of
paper and added it all up and showed me
that sure enough she had! He was so worried
about what to do so we called the store and
explained what happened and I told them where
we live and that I could bring the dollar back
tomorrow. The young man who answered the
phone said thank you for letting them know and
that Jeff could keep the dollar and that they
appreciate his honesty!

Its moments like this that make me stop
and think....Man we must be doing something
right with our kids! I am so proud of him for wanting
do to the right thing and make it right with the store!
We love you Jeff!
