Do you coupon? How about using your coupons for the greater good, to help someone else less fortunate than you? I had the opportunity to do so participating in Champions For Kids The All You Campaign!
With my coupon binder in hand I headed to Walmart to purchase some food related items, mostly can goods and such using my coupons to be able to get the items at not only a great price BUT to be able to purchase more for someone else!
I purchased items that my family would use and enjoy trying to stay as healthy as possible. Alot of people of the misconception that just because you coupon means you are buying “junk” food but that’s not the case. The All You Magazine offers a bunch of awesome coupons! This is one of my favorite magazines and is a huge resource where I get my coupons! There are healthy coupons out there! My family happens to eat quite a bit of brown rice and black beans so I decided to add these to my shopping cart.
I was able to purchase Chef Boyardee Whole Grain for less than .50 cents a can using my (2) .50 cents of coupons!
I was able to use my coupons for potato’s, soups and canned vegetables! I was able to find everything I was looked for at Walmart using my coupons unlike my local grocery store which at times doesn’t have the large selection that Walmart carries!
So how can you help with your coupons? Gather your friends, family, neighbors, and co-workers to participate in an All You Couponing For Good project! Use your couponing skills to find great deals on clothes, food, hygiene products, school supplies, books, and games for children. Pick up these extra items at a discount or buy-one-get-one-free. Give the items to an organization in your community that serves children (like a school, religious organization, or nonprofit).
So where are my couponing food items going? A friend of mine in my homeschool group and Bible study, mom of 5 children and in the process of adopting a child in Africa her husband lost his job. I wanted to help this generous family out. I know what’s it’s like to have a large family and live on one income, now their income is gone. A way to help is by providing some grocery related items to help them until they can get on their feet! I have a Walmart Gift Card I will be adding to my packages so that they can purchase cold related items as well.
