I needed to post this; & while I’m not sure it is the correct place for it, I think it is important for Shop Rite shoppers to read; since they are familiar with the poster noellebrow & how wonderful she is; & I wanted those most familiar with her to know just how special & amazing she is. Same for lastocks; such a generous person! I hope everyone will indulge me for a few seconds; thanks in advance. I think everyone here at AFC has come to know Heather ~ noellebrow ~ as a very kind & helpful person; especially when it comes to Shop Rite & alerting us to the most amazing deals! I know I have come to rely on her (& Jamie; the other half of her “duo” ;o) in the short time I have been on AFC. She devotes so much of her life & time to this, which helps others save literally thousands of dollars; she is so giving of herself. Well, recently, I had the pleasure of getting to know her, as she patiently answered my “newbie” questions. ;o) I first had a problem with printing out a q for some room deodorizer spray & asked her if there was another way to print this. It would have saved me .99 . She offered to mail me the q. I thanked her, & told her I thought she was extremely generous, but told her I didn’t want her to spend .44 so that I could save .99 . I happened to mention this to my Aunt, to illustrate how kind this person who was basically a stranger to me was. My Aunt said it was very kind, but I should have accepted; as I could have insulted her. I felt terrible & wrote her apologizing; but she graciously said she understood where I was coming from & was not insulted. She emailed me again, asking if she could sent me some q’s; saying she “would make sure it was worth the .44 cent stamp. ;o)” I once again, at first declined; but she wrote back, saying she was touched by our situation/circumstances; & she would really like to send us some good q’s. I finally agreed. She mentioned it would make my shopping fun, especially if it was for almost free or free items. I told her to please make sure she didn’t go overboard; as I was already feeling guilty about accepting just one coupon; & I got the impression this would be for more than one. I was expecting a way too generous envelope containing some really great q’s, based on what she mentioned. Again, I was feeling guilty about accepting this before it even came. Well, the next thing I know, I get this large, HEAVY!!!!!!! box delivered. I could hardly even lift this! LOL! To say this was a RAOK is a major understatement! This was an amazing, extremely kind, extremely generous, unbelievable act of kindness. Without a doubt, one of the greatest RAOK ever!!!! I was simply blown away. There were literally hundreds of coupons that will save us literally hundreds of dollars. This was so well thought out, I cannot begin to tell you. These coupons are for things we will definitely use. Tons of them are for “FREES”; with most of the others doubling, making those items almost FREE with sales! Still more were not only terrific when doubled, making the items almost FREE; but there were also OYNO $’s on those deals as well; making the items FREE with MM’s on top of that! All I kept thinking with each q I looked at, as well as with each item I took out of the box, was that this amazing generous person could have kept this to use for their family; & could have saved money for them; instead of unselfishly & generously giving it to me for my family. Included in this package was an envelope from AFC’er “lastocks”; another incredible person! This envelope contained tons of q’s; again, for free items & items that will come to almost free with sales. Literally saving my family $100.00 easily!! The weight on the shipping label may have read 17 lbs.; but this weighed “tons” in the good it will do us, as well as in the generosity that was shown……. I simply cannot begin to explain just how amazing this was… or how amazing both of these ladies are! They have families of their own, & all of these items & coupons could have been put to good use for them. I was literally brought to tears to think someone could do this for a complete stranger…… I just had to share this unbelievable package from two incredible people; so that everyone here know how amazing they are!! (Will try to upload a photo of this.) Truly two of AFC's Angels!!!!!! Thanks again, Ladies!! NOTE about photo: I must apologize; the tons of coupons from lastocks aren't in the photo & I apologize for this; my batteries for my camera were fried & I barely got to take this photo, when it died. Other thing I need to point out; the large bag of Chex Mix was full & sealed when arrived; but "somehow" got opened & finished by the time the pic was taken....... ;o) [was yummy!!

That is so amazingly great. I am glad to have found not only AFC but the shoprite forum here. I recently started shopping at shoprite because of noellebrow and JaimeDae posts. They have saved me tons so far.

Lastocks generosity really was the inspiration for this RAOK! I know we are both so glad to know we could offer this to you. I am so grateful for everyone's generosity in all shapes and forms.

Your story nearly brought me to tears. There are so many friendly people here on AFC, I feel like this is my extended family. I have been on the giving and receiving end of a RAOK and it feels wonderful! Thank you for your kind words! xoxo

I agree totally! Everyone is amazing! I am simply blown away by the fact everyone is so generous; whether it be their time or advice, etc., etc.. You just don't find that in the world today very often (unfortunately). This site & everyone on it is truly a blessing! |

You can't imagine how it brought me to tears!! I began crying before I even opened it! Then I kept crying as I opened & unpacked it; & with each item, & each & every coupon, I would turn to my DH, and say, "Oh, my gosh; look at this! They are too kind!" It was an unbelievable experience. The feeling I got was really indescribable. I definitely plan on helping others as soon as we are able to do so. Many thanks again for your kind words! |

Truly, this is the makings of a wonderful community! I have been the recipient of people's generosity, in the past, during my years as a struggling single mom, and I know only too well the emotions one feels from the unexpected generous acts of kindness from perfect strangers. I now "pay it forward"! forevergrateful, you are blessed to have these two wonderful ladies in your life! Their blessings will be multiplied! |

HOWEVER! That being said!This thread is to acknowledge you & lastocks in particular; as you two ladies just went so far "above & beyond" with this incredible act of kindness; that I wanted to acknowledge it "publicly" amongst your peers here. ![]() I'm sure everyone already knew how wonderful & giving you both are; but I just had to tell everyone about this, as it was simply nothing less than extraordinary! It goes far beyond the extraordinary items & coupons that were enclosed; it was such a generous, selfless, thoughful act of kindess.... that was appreciated much more than you will ever know... I am forever grateful... SO! Sit back & enjoy the well deserved limelight or spotlight for the moment! ![]() You ladies deserve it!! And many sincere thanks again! |

It was pretty incredible what they did! And they are both so modest, I don't even think they even realize just how special it was (...and just how special they are!)... Many sincere thanks again! |
