I have posed the question before, but it has been a really long time. What is your motivation to use coupons? I mean we all get a little excited to see that we have $100 worth of groceries in our carts and only paid $20 (or even less sometimes!). But, what is the true motivation behind it? It isn’t my job to affect your conscience, but we are so blessed by coupons. We are so blessed by all the money we save. We are so blessed to have 6+ months of most things in our stockpile. Are we using our blessings to bless others? The reason I am posing this question again today is because of the tragedy in Haiti. I was just watching the news and they were asking for help. They were asking for donations (not just of money) but of sanitary products and cleaning items. I thought, wow, I have a years supply of most cleaning products, how hard would it be for me to make up a donation box? I want to encourage each of you to think of what you can do….Any suggestions for others, please leave a comment on this post and let’s share our ideas.
For the particular Haiti Tragedy….Here are some places that are collecting supplies and donations:

Please join us in helping Haitians thru this horrible tragedy. I personally took the EASY way to donate the $10 by texting 90999 (information above). I am also putting together a donation box. There are many ways we can help.
