They're giving the world away, a theory of abundance.

Once upon a time I started to write a book. The title was They're Giving the World Away.  The premise of this book was a theory I still believe in. My theory is that the world is a place of abundance and that not everyone wants the same things. Therefore whatever one person wants there is probably someone else trying to get rid of it or give away that exact thing. If it was possible to connect the two everyone would get what they want. Happy day! The book was about how to find someone giving away what you want. The problem I ran into was that the Internet and the world itself were changing faster than I could write the book. I would write a chapter that included websites and resources but before I could finish the book that chapter would be outdated. Some websites would shut down but other resources would pop up. I couldn't keep up with it and realized that whatever I wrote would almost instantly be outdated.  So I gave up and started a Yahoo group instead mostly focusing on coupon deals and freebies. But the world changed again and the decade of extreme couponing came to an end. Grocery stores stopped doubling coupons and manufacturers stopped releasing good coupons. Refunds went digital instead of snail mail, coupons went digital too. Then my life changed, I got married and had kids. I changed the way we ate to include more natural and organic products. At the time there were not a lot of coupons for natural foods*so I quit couponing and started cooking from scratch. So I stopped posting to the yahoo group and just went about my life. I still believe my theory and hopefully here I can help you find some of what you are looking for, for free or at least really cheap. Though KristieMaeSpeak blog is not primarily a deals and freebie site, it is an outlet for whatever is on my mind and in my life, deals and freebies are something I am into. So you will see a lot of this type of post... along with all the other twisted musings of my life.


*Luckily now there are more coupons for natural foods and stores have organic generic/house brands. Even Aldi carries a wide range of organic and natural products. Every day it is getting more affordable to be green. 😀
