Before I had kids, I had more time. Stating the obvious, I know! But because I had more time, I took advantage of a LOT more deals and had a much bigger stockpile. And if you remember, earlier this decade, there were lots of organized efforts to help the troops, when we first entered the war. My parents’ church had an ongoing donation drive and for a long time we had a running joke that via coupons, I was outfitting our troops much better than our own gov’t was. Every time I saw my parents, I’d give them bags & bags of stuff, and if you also remember from that time period, there were many news reports about how our troops were lacking necessities. Anyway……my point is, couponing is a great way to help those who need help, without reaching in to your own wallet. All it takes is a bit of time & tenacity.
Right now there are two other coupon bloggers that are promoting helping the tornado victims down south. Here are their posts if you want more information on how to help.
