Harris Teeter Brag: Michelle’s Trip

October 10, 2012

Michelle is new to couponing, but she did really well at Harris Teeter:

I’m new to all of this but really proud of my most recent Harris Teeter trip today, October 6th. I’ve attached a picture of my items. I took $37.70 of groceries and after e-vic deals and coupons it was reduced down to $13.80.

Great job Michelle!

How did you do at Harris Teeter! We would love to hear from you!

September 4, 2012

I have written and rewritten this post, and no matter what I type, it just doesn’t seem right. So here it goes.

I found this proverb that might sum it up for me.

Of all the stratagems, to know when to quit is the best.
–Chinese Proverb

My friends…

I am tired.

I need time refocus on God and my church family.

I am distracted.

I need time for my husband and family.

I am burntout.

I need time for my students.

I am grateful.

I need time to refocus on real life.

I am healing.

I need time to take care of my body.

I love you.

I really do. As I was coming to this decision, I thought and dwelt on each and every one of you I have met, talked with, or even just saw a smiling face on Facebook. There are many of you that I feel like I know better than my real life friends, and I know you feel the same.

For those who have gotten to know me, you know I am full of sadness and at the same time full of joy to make this announcement.

Today is my last day blogging, writing, and sharing deals at Coupon Teacher.

After more than 3.5 years of working on the computer daily, I am ready for the next stage in my life. I need to see what God has planned for me next. I will truly miss helping and talking with you each day, but I know that this is the right thing for me to do.

But you know that I could not just leave you hanging. I have dedicated years to making sure I provided help and a service to you consistently, and I cannot just leave you without a smiling Coupon Teacher each day. I have been seeking a perfect smiling face for you, and I think I have found her.

Natalie is going to be taking over Coupon Teacher effective tomorrow. She will introduce herself to you then!!

Thank you for the memories, for the support, and for your kindness over the years.

Until we meet again,

Shelly
