PAY IT FORWARD.... Giving out discount cards

PAY IT FORWARD.... Giving out discount cards.  You know how we all like a deal?  It is even better if someone could help us with a little *Extra* off our purchases.  This is EXACTLY what what I did for a couple who was purchasing a lot of items at Kohl's Department Store

The other night after dinner, I went to Kohl's to find a few things.  Of course, when you ARE looking for something in particular, you never find it.  Which is what happened to me.  I like shopping at Kohl's they have very high quality items. 

On my way out of the store, I saw a couple purchasing an arm load of clothes.  I inquired if they were using a discount card, or had a means of reducing the price other than the sales price the items were already at.  They responded *no* and had a curious look on their face.

I explained my situation, and how I had 2 cards they could use... they were thrilled.  I might not have used them, but I know they did NOT go to waste.

PAY IT FORWARD.... It only took a quarter

PAY IT FORWARD.... It only took a quarter.  After this holiday weekend, and having 5 teenage boys over my house, I needed to go grocery shopping... again.  Seems this is a neverending scenario.

Someone recommended, Aldi's, Supermarket in Middletown CT.  I've been to this store, but not for quite some time, I completely forgot about it.  This makes a lot of sense, prices at this store are about ½ price there compared to others around.

So this past Tuesday, I went to Aldi's, got a carriage and loaded up on food.  After putting the groceries into my van, I went to return the carriage.  At this store in order to get a carriage you need to deposit a quarter into a slot in each one in order to use it.

As I was going over, I noticed a woman that was going through her purse, shaking it, trying to find a quarter.  I asked her if she needed a quarter, and she would not take my money.  So I told her, take the carriage, and when you are done, pass it along to another person.  This way you are not taking my money.  She thought that was a good idea, and took the carriage. 

It is amazing how something so simple can make your day.
