Looking for 100 generous couponer's!

[TinaKlein]

So Being Super Coupon Woman and all..I get these crazy ideas in my head, and well was just a little disappointed that TLC did not contact me to do a segment to show how coupons can help the food pantry, and I had this formula figured out from the very first donation which was 195.00

so here is is:
My first donation was 195.00 so if 10 people did what I did that is 1,950.00
If 10 people in 10 cities did what I did, that is 19,500.00 in donations monthly
1f 100 people in 50 states did this that would be 975,000 in donations monthly

There's the answer to a million dollar donation

So I thought we would do a smaller scale, and have 100 extreme and generous couponers turn in a 1,000.00 donation each which would be...yep a $100,000 donation. I thought we could do one for back to school, and if that one was a success on for the holidays as well.

This is a way to show how coupons can truly make an impact in our community. won't you join me in showing others how we can " cut hunger one coupon at a time"

Just send me a pm or email me if interested at supercouponwoman@yahoo.com

Looking forward to hearing from some of you guys..I think it would be lots of fun

This sounds like fun!!! I've already donated over $300 worth of items to my Aunts church's foodbank this year and that's hardly trying.

Tina~ are you wanting people to just go forward and do it on their own and give you their stats? Do we get to chose what charity?

I don't really keep track, I have a church that has a twice monthly dinner, food pantry, clothing giveaway, and I just kinda go through what I've got, and donate whatever I think we won't use. I do buy some things with them in mind ( the 8 loaves of Aunt Millies bread I got for free a few weeks ago, toothpaste, deodorant, etc). Should I just start a log? I have lots of candy I'm donating in a few weeks for easter, but I have no idea now what they cost me at the time. Not much, I'm sure, but how would this work? PM me with more info if you can.

purple- its a good idea to keep track of your donations. just keep the receipts and/or a list of the items your donating and you'll be amazed how much it adds up too. Plus, you can use those deductions at tax time.

I don't make enough to use it at tax time. I'm doing ok for a single mom, and since I needed help several times in the past, I love being able to pay it forward a little bit. But you are right, I'll start keeping track. I'm due for a raise, who knows, maybe it'll put me in a new tax bracket! LOL!

Just posting this here........this year you needed over 5700 for single to itemize 11400 for married couples. Most people can't write off donations unless they "own" a house and have mortgage interest and real estate taxes. Also medical is something you can write off "if" you have more than 7.5 % of you income in expenses.

Tina I am always impressed on the ways you come up to help others. You may want to make a social group and have people join to keep things simpler. Then everyone could always post the results out here for the rest of us to see. I will try to play too, but honestly so many of you do so much better than I do. Trying is always the first step even though I have given a bit the last couple of years being inspired by all of our members.

So that is $195 in items before coupons? I would be happy to join in! I have started building a pretty good stockpile and have not started donating yet (only been back into couponing for a few months) but I would love to! I will need to research where to donate around here. I know there are places to drop food, but am not sure on H&b items. Maybe a domestic violence shelter? My favorite thing to do at Christmas time is "adopt" a child or 4 from the angel tree. Wouldn't that be great to have that feeling all year!
