Say Please & Thank You
I was at the grocery store yesterday and this little girl was chasing after her brother and running after her Mom in the store. As she passed me she screamed "MOVE", not excuse me or sorry but MOVE! I couldn't believe it. I turned around to see if her mother would correct her and tell her to say excuse me or sorry but she didn't. They just continued running through the store as if that didn't just happen. I was instantly angry. I was thinking, if that was my child. But wait, that wouldn't be my child. I have taught my children manners from the time they could speak. Please and Thank You were something we continually reinforced until they learned them. Then, I wanted to turn around and go in the direction of that Mom. I thought about how I could nonchalantly mention manners while pushing my cart past her or maybe I would pick up a book about manners and drop it in her cart. I wasn't sure what I was going to do but I sure did fell like I had to do something. Of course I didn't do anything. I always think I could but I couldn't. I have to remember that everyone parents differently.
We know that manners are important right? I try not to let things like that bother me but it seems like it happens more and more nowadays. At what point are we going to start parenting our children? What are we afraid of?
I want to remind everyone that our children are going to be taking care of us some day. Think about that before you allow your child to be disrespectful to someone. Remind them to say please and thank you and treat everyone with kindness. Parenting isn't easy but it's all worth it.
You will be so proud of your polite children when they are at school or church. They will remember how important manners are and use them daily. Maybe you will even get to catch a glimpse of them being kind and high five yourself for enforcing it with them. Manners are a stepping stone to well behaved children.
Thank you for reading, please stop by again :)

Review of Walmart's savings catcher
Have you heard about Walmart's newest attempt to earn your business with the "Savings Catcher"? I've decided to review it for you since I've been using it since the day it came out. It's FREE and super easy to use. Simply scan your receipt after you shop at any Walmart or Walmart Market and the "Savings Catcher" will search around for any sales items. If it finds a lower price at another store, you get the difference back in a gift card. You can submit up to seven receipts per week. It's a great way to save money without having to drive around to several different stores. Once you have accumulated some cash, you can convert it into an e-gift card to use at any Walmart or Sam's Club store. They send you an email that you print out and use at the store. Just make sure you write down how much the e-gift card is worth in case the cashier ask you. I've only noticed one problem with the "Savings Catcher". I had a receipt that wouldn't scan on my phone. I tried to hand enter the receipt code on my phone but it kept saying it was invalid. I decided to go online and enter it there. It worked right away. I think the app still has a few glitches. I'm hoping the next update will take care of these small problems. Otherwise, it's quick and easy to use. I think it's another great way to save some money. After about 16 days of using the "Savings Catcher" I accumulated $9.67. That's not bad at all. It also works as an archive for your receipts so if you loose one you can review the details of it within the "Savings Catcher" app.

We are coming up on a busy shopping season. I wanted to share one of my tricks to saving money while shopping online. They are giving you $10 right now just to try them. I've been using Ebates for several years. I always go to their website first and look for discount or coupons. Once I find the deal I'm looking for I continue to the store's website and make my purchase. Since I went through Ebates website first they give me cash back on my purchase. It's free and easy to use. They even offer a toolbar that you can install so you don't forget to get your cash back. Once a month they send you a check which includes all the money you have received back from all your purchases. You can even buy online and pick up in store for most purchases. It's very easy to use.

Apple announces the iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus with updated watch
Apple just unveiled the iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus along with an updated watch during their September Apple Event today. If you missed the keynote speech you can watch it here. The camera is said to be the most improved with the dual 12-megapixel camera and a better ambient light sensor for low-light pictures. It also includes a telephoto lens and wide angle lens. Now your images can be enhanced up to 10x vs just 2x in years prior. We all knew about the removal of the headphone jack. The phone is said to ship with wireless earbuds. The display is brighter and the 3D touch has been enhanced. Storage has been improved as everyone has asked for. The home button is gone as speculated. Perhaps the most exciting for all you Pokemon Go fans, Apple announced it will now be available on the watch. For all you old schoolers, Nintendo will be offering Super Mario Run. I think that's an awesome pairing, Apple and Nintendo. I can't wait to see where that goes. I'm seeing real-time Mario Cart Racing in the very near future. Here's the info on the prices.
What was your favorite part of the announcement today?
