Going to New York City was one of them. I am here, in New York City, it's 12:25 a.m. and everyone is in bed sleep except for me. The city lights in Times Square will fool you! If I look outside, it looks like it's still daylight from some angles. Today was an incredible day. I had a fantastic time and I will blog about it tomorrow. I miss my family and friends but I am still excited about getting away from everyday life and adventuring into unknown territory.

Enjoy<br /></span>Hi Sisters,<br />I haven't posted on the boards in a very long time, but I've never stopped shopping SOS style! I did take a break for a few weeks here recently from shopping and yesterday was my first "real" trip back to the stores. At 2 different stores I saw a sad site- people putting things back at the checkout because they did not have enough money. One lady with a small child put back hamburger meat, hot pockets and cereal. That one really hit me hard. I have 20 lbs of hamburger in my freezer from when Tom Thumb had it for 99 cents a pound a few weeks back. Cereal is obviously not an issue and anyone who has followed the buddy for any length of time has had hot pocket burnout because we get them for 50 cents a box so often. This lady was ahead of me and left before I could even look through my Q's to try and help her. I'm sure she was embarrassed and if I were her feeling pretty angry I had to take food from my childs mouth because things have gotten so ridiculously expensive. But I'm not her and it's all because I saw a brief commercial for Good Morning Texas a year and a half ago and then had someone else remind me to check out this site. I came to a workshop and I have not worried since about not having enough money to buy my groceries. Thanks to Cheryl and Lynette my family was able to take our very first vacation last summer because I had saved so much money at the store we could afford one. This fall my 5 year old will get to go to a small private school because we can afford it. We can because of SOS! I'm sure when Lynettes husband told her she only had $20 to feed their family for a week she did not see it as a blessing, but ladies look at how many you have now fed on that $20! it's just like loaves and fishes. I'm so glad you ladies are getting so much media coverage. Every time you are on the TV, radio or in the paper you are helping someone else just like me and hopefully that lady in Kroger who put those things back. Thank's y'all, you are both blessed and a blessing to more people than you know!<br />LeaCheryl "Action" Jacksonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05040895475455314183noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32153283.post-45193569117870488872008-06-16T23:45:00.002-06:002008-06-17T16:26:34.642-06:00Free Birthday offers mentioned on Good Morning Texas -Click on link<a href="http://www.wfaa.com/sharedcontent/dws/wfaa/gmt/schedule/stories/wfaa080616_mj_gmtmonday.b3feff1.html">http://www.wfaa.com/sharedcontent/dws/wfaa/gmt/schedule/stories/wfaa080616_mj_gmtmonday.b3feff1.html</a>Cheryl "Action" Jacksonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05040895475455314183noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32153283.post-79148289965777951402008-06-16T22:58:00.000-06:002008-07-06T23:10:33.852-06:00Check out my Slide Show!<embed style="WIDTH: 400px; HEIGHT: 320px" name="flashticker" align="middle" src="http://widget-8d.slide.com/widgets/slideticker.swf" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" quality="high" scale="noscale" salign="l" wmode="transparent" flashvars="cy=bb&il=1&channel=360287970207316109&site=widget-8d.slide.com"></embed> <div style="WIDTH: 400px; TEXT-ALIGN: left"><a href="http://www.slide.com/pivot?cy=bb&at=un&id=360287970207316109&map=1" target="_blank"><img src="http://widget-8d.slide.com/p1/360287970207316109/bb_t016_v000_s0un_f00/images/xslide1.gif" border="0" /></a> <a href="http://www.slide.com/pivot?cy=bb&at=un&id=360287970207316109&map=2" target="_blank"><img src="http://widget-8d.slide.com/p2/360287970207316109/bb_t016_v000_s0un_f00/images/xslide2.gif" border="0" /></a> <a href="http://www.slide.com/pivot?cy=bb&at=un&id=360287970207316109&map=F" target="_blank"><img src="http://widget-8d.slide.com/p4/360287970207316109/bb_t016_v000_s0un_f00/images/xslide42.gif" border="0" /></a></div>Cheryl "Action" Jacksonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05040895475455314183noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32153283.post-67277125334227955282008-06-13T16:52:00.002-06:002008-06-13T16:54:27.466-06:00Father's Day Contest winnerDrum roll please....and the winner for the Father's Day contest is Cindy Miller!

Quite frankly, I never thought I would be doing it either. My sister LOVES using coupons, I love to shop. <br /><br />Now I have to ask myself whats love got to do with this. Whether you like it or not you gotta LOVE saving the money. In this economy we are becoming forced to find ways to help stretch our dollars and coupons are the best place to start.<br /><br />I love it!<br /><br />Yesterday I went to Tom Thumb I purchased 10 cases of bottled Ozara water reg 599 on sale for 3.99 and one Powerade drink. My total was $40.98 cents I rcv;d 2 movie tickets for FREE a $24.00 value and since my FREE popcorn catalina didn't print the manager gave me TWO more movie tickets which totaled $48.00 in FREE movies so I came out ahead $7.02.<br /><br />Looks like my family of four has a movie night coming up ON ME!<br />My name is Cheryl Jackson and I am a Sister of Savings.Cheryl "Action" Jacksonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05040895475455314183noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32153283.post-53651124093778701232008-06-01T23:57:00.004-06:002008-06-04T22:06:36.865-06:00CVS deals- ALREADY GOT MINE!JUNE ECB DEALS<br />what a day!

As a pastor’s kid, the doors of our church and home revolved like a grocery store while I watched my parents consistently give away food, clothing and provide financial assistance to the community.<br /><br />Simply stated, giving is a learned behavior. Please allow me to share a lesson that I learned about giving with you. It happened in June, 2001 while I was visiting my sister, Lynette, who is a wife and mother of three children. I was extremely hungry as I opened my sister’s pantry but to my surprise I saw only ONE can of corn. Nothing else. Only one can of corn. I went back into the room and I tried to keep a straight face as we resumed our conversation. I watched Lynette smile as though nothing was wrong.<br /><br />I drove home that day and I struggled with what to do. I’m hoping you fall into this category. What do you do? As I shared my findings with my husband he said “ I bet if I called your sister she would give that can of corn to me” so he picked up the telephone and asked Lynette for some food. It was a Saturday night, the next day we walked into church and I remember that Sunday morning so clearly. Lynette walked into church with her family at her side and she was smiling. She discretely handed my husband the can of corn and as I watched her kind deed, I could taste the salt of my tears as they locked under my cheek. My husband and I had agreed that if Lynette gave us that can of corn that we would give her $500.00 and we did! As the news about Lynette’s unselfish act began to spread around church, other people began to give her more money. This day would eventually go down in history as the most expensive can of corn that had ever been GIVEN away. Before the benediction, Lynette and her family received over $1,000.00 for a simple act of giving and as you might imagine, there wasn’t a dry eye in the building!<br /><br />As host of the Nothing but Good News radio show, I decided to interview the most important living legend in my life, my mother, Minnie Ewing. During the show, I received a call in from Bob Hopkins, the founder and publisher of Philanthropy World Magazine . As he began to ask my mother questions we had a startling discovery. Bob asked my mother to tell him a story about giving.<br /><br />My mother shared the story about a complete stranger coming to her house and asking for food. Since she and her brother were the only ones at home, they remembered what my grandmother had taught them. She taught them to give, even if it was your last, and that’s what they did. They gave that stranger, a chair and one can of CORN! While mother was sharing this story my sister and I sat in the studio and we were astonished and amazed. We cried because we realized how one woman had created a legacy of giving-three generations and it all started with a can of corn. That simple.<br /><br />This story will help you discover what I did. When you give, however big or small, it always comes back. The photo to the left is the original can of corn that was given to us June, 2001. There was no way we could eat that particular can of corn. We decided to keep it as a reminder for us to always give something on a daily basis. Just like Lynette created a memory that we will never forget, I challenge you to do the same. There were many kernels in that can of corn, all very small but together they made a huge impact. There are many ways that you can give. Give your own corn, beans or whatever and watch the harvest! Every year gives us 365 days to become a giver. So each day that we live, we have the opportunity to give something ( a smile, hug, helping hand) My prayer for you is that you have the hands to get and the heart to give.<br /><br />Join the Giving Movement,” The Giving Movement Organization, a nonprofit 501 c (3) organization to assist children and families throughout the world. Start today. Write your story. Share your story. There is no “I” in team but there is an “I” in Give. Be a Go-Giver! For kids sake.
