Default wonderful donating experience..thank you couponmom and everyone

just wanted to share an experience i had yesterday...i have been in a rut with my donating...the town womens club i donate too seems ok but it didnt give me the good vibes of actually being able to deliver the stuff myself(i know that sounds awful but i do like to see people happy lol) so my daughter has a babysitting job for years now(preteen daughter and single dad..dog and cat ) my daughter overheard the father on the phone who was recently laid off but has been doing sidework to make ends meet and he was telling the person on the phone i dont mind if you cant pay me in cash just pay me in food so my daughter knowing how i am with donating and couponing texted me and told me this and she said do u think we can get some stuff to bring to the house for them...ummm YEA!!!!! so a carful of food for them, dog and catfood, and a crazy amout of hba products i got to give all through couponing...i was really nice to see the daughter all happy (she came to help load stuff up also) and the dad wanted to pay me which of course i said no but it was really just so nice and i wanted to share to say thank you to this website and the peple that post their savings and deals and especially the wonderful ladies who have been sending me their expired coupons for months now...makes me all teary just thinking about it..really made my day and i havent been having many good ones latley so thank u everyone so much!!

Wonderful! Blessing always come bk. to us too.
I help out my neighbors family and she is always grateful. Dad's wk. has been cut way back.
It is so nice when we know who we are giving to. More personal.
