(maybe not the start of the story as it's sad)
My grandma passed away on tax day. My aunt got her obit put in their paper in Burlington County NJ in the Sunday paper. My aunt bought a bunch of papers so all of grandmas kids and sisters and such could have copies of the obit. I am bummed I wasn't there...
But my dear aunt looked at my mom and said, we need to pull the coupons out of these for Tina!
Guess my grandma was talking to my aunt about all of my couponing and trying to save money. She went with me shopping at Giant Eagle when she was here at Christmas and she liked me (finally) using coupons.
So, I have a ton of the SS and RP from their papers. I consider them to be my last gift from grandma, and I know I can use some of them on sales that are coming up; she'll be proud.
Now to keep an eye out for the week after this to see if the ad is good!

Awww. Sorry it was a hard way to get them, but happy that your family thinks so highly of you that even in times of stress they want to do nice things for you.

I'm so sorry about your Grandma. I think it is wonderful that your aunt thought of you and it wouldn't have been if your Grandma didn't tell her how happy and proud she was of you. Not that it should ever be doubted, but it just goes to show how much people to care and think of you!!
