Over the years, I’ve discovered a whole new and BEAUTIFUL world while studying ALL subjects from a Christian perspective. Math, science, history, art. Choosing Christian curriculum that agrees with the Bible is choosing Gods BEST for our children!

Because most of us were educated in the public school system, we really have no idea that when we pick up a secular text book, we are choosing 2^nd best.

It’s not so much what you say

As the manner in which you say it;

It’s not so much the language you use

As the tone in which you convey it;

“Come here!” I sharply said,

And the child cowered and wept.

“Come here,” I said-

Saving Money (Lots and Lots of Money) at Publix!

The homeschoolers at PACE grabbed hold of the concepts of extreme couponing and have never looked back. They've saved some serious money this past year thanks to the patient teaching of Mary at Couponers United.

Handy Dandy Guide to Extreme Couponing at Publix
The Bloggers
You must find a great blogger to follow. When I first started “extreme couponing” there were no bloggers to follow. Now, there are a plethora of bloggers who will help you save a ton of money. They do all the hard work for you! Find a couple of great bloggers to follow.
Hint: pick a local blogger for the best deals in your area
My favorite bloggers:
· www.couponersunited.com An award winning blog by a great mom in Debary, FL
· www.couponmamacita.com A mom blogger in Deltona, FL
· www.iheartpublix.com A blogger in Atlanta, GA who specializes in Publix deals

The Weekly Advertisements
Know when the deals start and when they end. Publix ads run from Thursday to Wednesdays in our area. Check www.iheartpublix.com late in the day on Mondays to find out what will be on sale that Thursday.

Bogo (Buy One Get One) deals

BOGO deals can be amazing! Sometimes they are even money makers! There are some hints that will help you save the most money on BOGO deals.

· Purchase (2) of the BOGO items. The first one will ring up full price and then 2^nd one will be free.
