I just have to say what a wonderful thread. Hearing your stories of kindness really touches my heart. I hope people will continue to add to this thread.

In that spirit, I'll share that I've only recently started couponing, but have noticed a drastic increase in what I'm able to do for others. A pack of Diet Coke for a friend on a fixed income who's facing increased financial pressure, fun treats to give my kids that we've never been able to afford before, giving a stranger a q to make some nail polish she'd picked up then put back free, running into a friend who was buying something I knew there was a deal on...and then giving her the q's to do it. And my personal favorite mantra now: Couponers don't let friends buy toothpaste! I'm finally able to do some things for some of my friends who have absolutely everything and have been so generous and kind to me.
