From getting, to giving. Update, and thank you.

2011-06-18T23:25:00.000-07:00

Today, my mother and I teamed up and brought a trunk and back seat full of food and supplies to the young woman and her 4 year old little boy that lost their home to a fire (if you're behind, more details about that here) In fact, their home caught on fire TWICE! After it was put out by fire fighters the first time, a hidden ember managed to re-ignite it hours later. Everything was destroyed.

We were able to provide them with enough personal care items to last them hopefully a few months until they can get into a home and back to regular life. If not, we'll bring them more! We also brought about $100 worth of groceries, a few toys, a couple new outfits and flip flops for each of them, and some miscellaneous items like paper plates, plastic utensils, paper towels, a can opener, hair brush and bands, etc. Thanks to couponing, the personal care items cost us virtually nothing. We wouldn't have been able to help them to this extent without this valuable skill!

I've gotta say, I'm really disappointed in the lack of action from the local community thus far. It has been a week since the fire displaced them from their homes, and the only help they have gotten so far is a 3-day hotel stay from the Red Cross. They are still in that hotel now, until something else can be figured out. They have been left with NOTHING. Where are the churches and charities? I thought for sure that by the time we made it to this family with our load of supplies, they would have at least received some food boxes or something from other sources. Nope :-(

I'd like to say at BIG thank you to those of you from various places around the country that have offered to send items. They are definitely needed and greatly appreciated. I look forward to being able to deliver your gifts of love to her! Our personal resources are very limited and we've done what we can, but it won't be enough in the long run. We'll also put in the time to go around the community and get in contact with churches and things to see if anyone else can step up and help out. Hopefully that will happen! An overwhelmed mama that just lost everything needs someone to be her voice. Someone that knows what to do and who to talk to. We will do our best with that and pray it turns out well. My mom is great with talking to people, so I've got hope!

When I think of all the people I personally know, I know that if something like this happened to them, they would have somewhere to go. They'd have loving arms to take them in and help them get back on their feet. And I always assumed that for the people out there that aren't blessed with that kind of family security, that communities leap into action and make sure they're taken care of. Today was a reality check when I realized that apparently doesn't always happen, and sometimes... strangers from a different town have to step in and get the ball rolling.

The biggest Thank You of all goes to Ember, who had the courage to reach out to us and bring this story to our attention. We wouldn't have known otherwise, and this family would have run out of food by tonight. She simply heard about a stranger in need, and sought out help for them, knowing that we are "couponers" and might have some surplus items to share. My heart is broken for this family, but it is also bursting with blessings to see that people from all over are now offering to help in their own ways. It will surely add up and make a BIG difference! And my heart as a mama also filled with joy to see how eager my little girls were to fill a bag full of their very own books to give away. They would have given him everything, but I wasn't sure how impressed a 4 year old boy would be with ponies and dolls and such, lol!

Anyway, thank you for being here. Thank you for your prayers and well-wishes for these strangers in need, and thank you to those of you who are able to offer even more. I know this isn't entirely relevant to the topic of my page, but I believe in paying it forward. With the ability to get freebies and to coupon, comes the ability to help others in ways you may not have been able to before. So, while it's often about getting around here, I hope we can also continue to highlight some instances of giving. Speaking of which, if you have any stories of your own, no matter how great or how small, of giving to those in need or receiving when you yourself were in need, please feel free to share them on our facebook page. I would love that, and I think others would too!

Please feel free to contact me on facebook if you'd like to be part of this family's own personal little relief effort, or even if you'd just like to send them a nice card or a letter.

Local fire victims, update about their needs

2011-06-16T22:41:00.000-07:00

Recently, I posted on facebook about a local family that lost everything when their home caught on fire TWICE. They even lost their dog, and mama got burns on her face and arms trying to save it :-( The 24 year old mother and her little boy are now living in a hotel room and trying to put their lives back together. We don't know this family, but someone heard about their situation and reached out to me knowing that my mother and I are "couponers" and that we may be able to provide a few free items for the family in need. When I posted about it, many of you expressed a desire to help and it was absolutely heart-warming! We're working to get some essential items to them as quickly as possible, so if you can, please read on and arrange this with us ASAP.

Little boy needs:
Size 5 Pull-Ups and baby wipes
Size 4T or bigger clothes
Size 9 shoes

Mom needs:
Size 14 pants
Size XL Tops
Size 8 1/2 - 9 flip flops

Other needs:
Food that doesn't require cooking
Household items
Gas cards
Toys

FOOD is a major need. They are currently in a hotel room with NO kitchenette, so they need items that don't require cooking. She could also use gift cards for gas stations, so they can still get around. Some of you have offered toys too, and I think that would be a wonderful way to provide comfort and a little bit of normalcy for a little boy whose world just turned upside-down. Anything else you can think of that might help too, let us know!

A friend of hers has donated the use of a storage unit so she can start collecting home items. They're saying it will be about 4 months before the house is livable again, and I'm sure you know it could easily take longer. At this point, they probably need everything imaginable when it comes to household items.

My mom and I will be able to provide a lot of personal care items, but the Pull-Ups and wipes are a major and immediate need for them and anyone willing to pitch in with that and/or anything else, PLEASE let me know. You can contact me on my personal facebook page HERE. Any of you that are local, you can bring things to my home, or we can arrange to meet up. Some of you from other areas have offered help too, and I can provide you my shipping address if you message me on facebook. Then my mother and I will bring her everything in a truck. Feel free to include letters and/or cards with well-wishes and love if you like!

Thank you so much to everyone that is helping out. This is what community is all about! We'll be finding out more soon, and I'll keep you all posted.

Here's a local news story about it.

Grocery trip: $44.95 before coupons, $4.22 after

2011-05-31T22:30:00.000-07:00

$44.95 before

$4.22 after

About 91% savings!

So, my mom and I couponed together as usual, and focused on groceries this time. They're usually difficult to save on as our staple food items are fresh produce and meats, but we do manage to save pretty well on some other items that we consume less often but still like to have around. You'll have to pardon my coupon descriptions as they're less than perfect tonight thanks to some unknowns and the circumstances of us splitting up our purchases, lol. Between the two of us, we got over $100 worth for about $10. Here's MY portion of it:

Albertons:

9 Ronzoni Garden Delight pastas

Regularly $2.49 each

On sale for $1.79

Used $1 off coupons

Albertsons doubled coupons

Got them all FREE!

2 Raisin Bran Crunch and bananas

Forgive me because I don't remember the exact coupons we used, lol.

They were kindly given to us by another couponer that we ended up chatting with. There were 2 coupons that saved us on the cereal, 2 coupons that gave us free fresh fruit when we bought that particular cereal, and then after that purchase we got a catalina for free milk which we used in the next transaction.

With the coupons and doubling, it worked out so we got 4 boxes of cereal, $3 worth of fresh fruit, and a gallon of milk for $6 total!

Mom and I split the cereal and the bananas, and I paid $3 for my share of it :-)

Vlasic Relish squeeze bottle

Regularly $2.49 each

On sale, 2 for $3

Used coupons for $1 off 2 bottles

Albertsons doubled

Paid $1 for 2 bottles

Mom and I split them, so I paid 50 cents for mine

Safeway:

Oscar Mayer hot dogs

Regularly $2.99 each

99 cents each with in-ad coupon

Used coupon for $1 off every 2

Safeway doubles up to an additional 50 cents each

24 cents each after coupon

(there were more in the transaction, but shown is my portion of them)

Walmart/Walgreens trip: $50.92 before, ZERO after!

2011-05-31T06:54:00.000-07:00
