Big World Of Wonders

I can still remember my younger years. I was the youngest of all my brothers and sisters, my mother used to have a whole file cabinet full of Grocery Coupons. They were all in alphabetical order also every file had a date for expiration. My mom worked on this constantly because when it came to saving money on the groceries I think my mom planned this like it was a war or life or death situation on saving big dollars.

Being I was the littlest mom would wait for the school bus to pick up all my brothers and sisters. She would in the winter bundled me all up with warm clothes. We would start a three mile walk to the old Super Duper Store. It was such a relief when we got there. Trying to unwrap myself to feel the heat of the big blowers in the store. Of course mom would meet all her friends there. It seemed like a social gathering. All that I needed was a box of animal crackers to keep me busy.

Going down the isle it was very slow going. Mom had to check each coupon to each product that she wanted. Cashing out was also a fun time. yehaa.. All in all the trip took five hours each Friday.
