    You guys are an incredible blessing to others. I've been able to donate a lot more since couponing than I've ever been able to do in the past. Something just doesn't feel right when we have so much in our house and there are so many in need out in the world.

    Wonderful! It just doesn't feel right stockpiling (aka hoarding) groceries, without giving some to those who need it more than I do.

    I agree! Anytime you help someone out, even a little when they are down on their luck is good in my book!

    I looove it too! I have been able to donate so much for various reliefs - right now the Haiti Relief efforts at my church. I also will start donating toiletries and feminine products to tween girl after school program in my community. The director there told me they could always use assistance. I am excited to help them out - of course, none of this would be possibly without my q's!!!
    Being frugal is the new black!
