Heading to the mission tomorrow with 14 boxes of hair color and a one touch monitor. I go every two weeks, or so, since I've started couponing.

Wow!!! You guys sure have ME beat but just today I stopped off at a lady's house who has lost several family members since February and now has had a heart attack herself. (she's young too) I took her the Bryan lunch meats, the Butterball lunch meats, the microwaveable Mac and Cheese, Bounty Paper towels and a few other goodies. It IS so nice to be able to do this!

What a blessing to have learned how to get more for my money!

Thanks guys,

Janet

I think one of the best things about stockpiling is being able to give to others in need. I got a request for pantry items on our local Freecycle group, for a single mom. It's such a blessing to have things to be able to help people who are in need. Before I found HCW, I certainly didn't have things like this and felt awkward giving money, that seems really impersonal to me. But today, I have a big care package to give to the poster, who is collecting for another person. She'll get lots of cereal, spaghetti sauce, pasta, HBA items, two cases of soup, laundry detergent. I honestly don't even know what all I put in that box! But I wanted to thank all of you who inspired me to seek out these great deals and save lots of money on my new stockpile. Giving is truly better than receiving!

Oh well, it's the thought that counts right? Glad I thought to check them!

- I hate these free Maxim, etc. magazines that DH gets - this is one freebie I didn't sign up for - can't wait for the subscription to run out. It is embarrassing that it is even in my mailbox or in my home.

I donated a bunch of wipes to the school last week.

Bring the Stuff and Maxim magazines, etc. to your local VFW - someone there will know how to get them to the troops overseas, and ANY reading material is very much appreciated.

hospitals and mental health programs really appreciate magazines too! And even old ones can be used for craft projects in occupational therapy, art therapy, etc.
