This was posted on our SOS message board and I had to share it with you.... Enjoy
Hi Sisters,
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!

Father's Day Contest winner
Drum roll please....and the winner for the Father's Day contest is Cindy Miller! Your husband won not one- BUT two hotel nights at the NYLO hotel after we contacted them and shared your entry we told them he deserved so much more and they agreed!
Blake will be riding in a stretch limo and eating a nice tender steak ummmm.... at Ruth's Chris Steak house! Cindy, will also receive a purse, bubble bath, candles and a toiletry packet for your stay. Also a portion of Cindy's entry will be read on Good Morning Texas-- Monday, June 16th at 9:00 a.m. and the entire entry is in this newsletter and will be posted on WFAA website.
The entries we received were from the heart. They were all so good and heartfelt, that we added an extra prize-- it was clear to us that a 17 old wanted to honor his father on Father's day. Jordan Rodgers will win $50.00 compliments of the Sisters of Savings to give to his father.

Who's who? The wonder years.
Lynette was twelve years old in this photo. I knew she was special and as her older sister, I always stayed in the background, watching and waiting to see who she would become. She was a giver at a young age, she watched over my children while I worked during the summers even though she could have been playing games in the dirt( lol) that's all we had sometimes. She always watched them for FREE! (is that when the Freebie's really began?)
I am so proud of her. She has touched so many lives, including my own. God made us sisters, love made us friends!
If she has impacted your life, leave a comment here!

I'm so excited
I had the pleasure of working with Revka at RSDesigns and she created this outstanding blog page and format for me. The good news is that we will be hosting a contest and someone will win a FREE blog account designed by her company. Saying that Revka is incredible and has excellent customer service skills is an understatement. She is timely, proficient, and a pleasure to work with.
Post here and tell me what you think about the new look and also let me know if you would like to be a guest- featured blogger on our sight so I can take a BLOG Break every once in a while.
Thank you so much Revka and I can't wait to work with you on the next project beginning next week BEFORE you have that new bundle of joy.
