The Secret To My Happiness

So this isn't coupon related but I just wanted to share this on this wonderful Wednesday morning. As you know I am married to an amazing man & he is absolutely perfect in each & every way. You see us together on camera sometimes and we get asked so much "What's your secret to being so happy?" or we see the famous hashtag #RelationshipGoals (thank you all for that) in the comments a lot. I will share this and what I believe to be our secret to happiness.

Marriage (relationships) can be hard work, but it's also something you work hard at to make it everything that you want it to be. After being married for 12+ years and knowing someone for over 20 years (our relationship started in high school) you learn so much about one another & realize this is my soulmate, this is who God chose for me (THANK YOU). When you love as hard as we do nothing seems impossible when it comes to us. You have to be kind, you have to listen, you have to communicate, you have to be patient, you have to be understanding, you have to be supportive, you have to be open minded, you have to be loyal, you have to be IN love (oh yes we are) and most importantly what I feel you have to do is you have to trust. When you trust someone completely you will have no problem with everything else. Of course these are my thoughts & what I feel, but when you have no doubts about anything, you feel safe & secure and he makes me feel that each and every day.

When I wake up every morning I am blessed to wake up next to the love of my life, my soulmate, he is my everything. He makes me laugh constantly (I'm sure you all know that already) he is my number one supporter and when he isn't next to me I miss him. When I'm at work he gives me butterflies (I'm not kidding) when I'm thinking of him and then I grab my phone to send him an "I Love You" text. I don't need to hear is voice throughout the day (crazy right) because I love to miss him. Don't get me wrong of course if I talk to him I'm happy but I'm not sad if I don't talk to him during the day while we are both at work. This just makes me miss him even more. I may call him on my way home & sometimes not but one thing is for sure, you can bet money on when I hear his key unlocking the door when he gets home from work, I run and jump on him as if I were a baby. That hug he gives me makes up for not talking to him the entire day. I know it sounds crazy & maybe even unreal but this is my truth about love & happiness and that's how it's so easy for me. He has a smile that lights up my world and as I type this now guess what? Yep I'm smiling because it makes my heart happy to have the love I have. I actually have tears in my eyes because I know how lucky I am, and I never take it for granted.

Some people will live their entire life and maybe not find true love or know what it feels like but I do. I know a lot of people are so fortunate to have love like this and be happy and they truly know where I am coming from...So if you haven't found it yet, be patient because when you do find it and it feels like this, you will know exactly how I felt writing this. I hope this helps anyone who asked "What's your secret to being so happy?" understand my reason I smile so much & love so hard. To make it simple, when you know you just know & he is what I know, he is my love.
To my husband, I love you daddy!

A true and honest love...Real Love, that's what I honestly think this whole ride we call life is really about. Not about the cars we drive, the house you own or what's in your bank account, it's about experiencing this whole thing with someone you love unconditionally.

New To Couponing at Walgreens? Here is a guide to help you.

1. Can I pay with points & receive points?

• Yes, but only when the deal is BUY x Get x,000 points.

For example, if the deal is “Buy 3 Get 5,000 points” you CAN pay with points and earn points back. If the deal is “SPEND x Get x,000 points” you CANNOT pay with points and earn points back. For example, if the deal is Spend $20 Get 5,000 you cannot pay with points.

So remember:

BUY = pay with points earn points

SPEND = do NOT pay with points because you will not earn points

   2. Can I use manufacturer coupons AND digital coupons on the same item?

• No, digital coupons on the Walgreens app are manufacturer coupons they are just on the app that you can clip to your Walgreens account. This is a PLUS because if you don’t get a coupon in your inserts you can look on the app and the coupon is available to clip to your account.

    3. How many times can I use the digital coupons?

• Once, the digital coupons are a one and done type deal. Once you use it that is it. They typically reset & once they do you can clip them again to your Walgreens

          account.

   4. How many items will the digital coupons work for?

• Only one. For example, if there is a digital coupon for $1.00 off Colgate toothpaste, and you purchase 2, the digital coupon will only apply to one of them. You would need to have a second coupon from the inserts or coupons.com to apply to the second toothpaste.

  5. Can I use coupons from coupons.com?

• Yes, if your store allows you to use internet printable coupons.

  6. Do I have to print in color or can the coupons from coupons.com be black & white?

• No, they do not have to be in color. You may print in either or.

7. Do Balance Points Expire?

• Yes, Your points expire 3 years after they are earned or if an account has been inactive for 6 months. (from Walgreens.com)

8. How many points can I redeem at once in a transaction?

• 1,000 points = $1.00
• 2,000 points = $2.00
• 3,000 points = $3.00
• 5,000 points = $5.00
• 10,000 points = $10.00
• 18,000 points = $20.00
• 35,000 points = $35.00
• 40,000 points = $50.00

9. If I earn points & then return an item will that affect my points?

• Yes, it will. You will see the change in points on your receipt.

10. What is the beauty program?

• The beauty program allows you to earn additional points when you spend $50 on participating products. You must sign up through the program online, once you have your Walgreens account the Beauty Enthusiast program is online as well and you click to join. It will track your beauty spending. Once you spend $50 you earn 5,000 points. This can be done multiple times and there is no limit. It also tracks on your receipt.

11. How do my digital coupons come off?

• Once you are ready to check out and you type in your phone number your digital coupons will apply once the cashier rings up everything. The cashier cannot see what digital coupons you have, they will automatically come off & show on your receipt.

12. What happens if my digital coupon does not come off and my coupon matches the item?

• Contact Walgreens customers service 1-800-925-4733. They will give the points in the amount of the coupon. For instance, if your $2 off coupon did not apply they will give you 2,000 points and add it to your account right away.

13. Can I use the store IVC book coupons with manufactuer coupons?

• Yes, the IVC Book (located in the front of the store by the store ad) is a book of coupons. These coupons are Walgreens store coupons and you can stack them with manufacturer coupons.

14. How many times can I use the store IVC book coupons?

• The coupon will apply to 4 items. So for instance the coupon is $2 off 1 Loreal Shampoo, you can purchase up to 4 in one transaction, the cashier will scan the coupon from the book and it will apply to all 4 of L'oreal.

15. Do I have to tear off the coupon from the IVC booklet and give it to the cashier?

• No, the cashier can just scan it from the book and you can keep it to reuse. You are allowed to reuse the same coupon in the book multiple times.
