If you read the comment sections of my posts, I'm sure you have seen the name Rhonda. 

Rhonda and her husband were recently featured in an article in The Telegraph, Alton's newspaper, about her couponing activities and donations to the Community Hope Center's Food Bank.

Make sure you checkout the article - Coupon Kindness.

It's so nice to see a article about couponing done sensibly and considerate.

Way to go Rhonda!

Couponing for Charity - Week of 11/06/11

Couponing for Charity

A few week's ago, I started a Couponing for Charity project where I budget $5 per week to pick up items that will go directly to charity.  I've had several readers contacted me wanting to know what would be good items for them to pick up to donate. 

Each week, I'll make a short list of  deals and coupon match-ups  for Couponing for Charity.   If you have other ideas of what would be great donation items, please leave a comment.

Couponing for Charity - Progresso Soup

Since starting to coupon, I've always donated my "extra" to charitable organizations, but I've never purchased items with the sole purpose of donating them.

I've decided to budget $5 per week to my new Couponing for Charity project.  Here is what I picked up this week.

24 Cans of Progresso Soup
Regular shelf price:  $51.12
Paid:  $4.00 + $0.88 tax  = $4.88
92% savings

I took advantage of Schnucks sale, $1/3 coupons from the Deal-icious Savings coupon book, and the $3 Catalina coupon when I purchased six General Mills products.

All in all I did four transactions rolling the Catalina coupons.  I limit myself to two back to back transaction at a time, so I don't perturb the cashier or the people in line behind me. 

If you Coupon for Charity I would love to hear your story.
