I do not usually like to post when I donate things just because it is not about people seeing you donate. I normally donate when no one is around I go to my local pantry and sneak in the boxes. I am posting this because as nice as all this stuff looks on a shelf sometimes its just something you wont use well I can tell you there is someone out there who doesn't have the ability to coupon or the know how. This is why I donate I never knew how much I was spending that I didn't have to and I was in need and without question I would go to where I take these things and they would help me without question. This is why if there is a freebie or a close to freebie I will go get it need it or not. Sometimes its for gas points or an overage but most of the time it is just to give back and I really do not like to throw away a coupon I would rather use it and pay it forward. I am hoping some of you who do not get the freebies if you do not need them will maybe think about it next time and pay it forward. Today is random acts of kindness day so no better time then now and with all the freebies right now why not?? CLICK HERE for a list in progress of places that really need donations to help people and animals in need.

Thank you for doing this!! I do the same as well. It makes me feel good knowing that people who need it are getting helped. I read something the other day about giving your last dollar to a homeless man because given your situation and his, it is likely that the dollar would benefit him much more than it would you. It's true, it's all about situation. What isn't much to us can be a lot to someone else. Every little bit helps.

I am hoping by posting it there will be a lot more donations even just one person who sees this and donates something really can make a difference. I love getting things free I know someone will use it just feels right. I even get free denture products and depends if they are free or free after up rewards just because I am sure there is a need out there. I coupon a ton and hate paying retail but I have paid for someones order before when they were declined or it was over what they had at register just because I know what that is like to have little to nothing its the same reason I have this blog to try to make a difference in some way. It makes me happy to hear other people doing the same thing too.

We do the same thing! If I can get it free, or near free I will get it. We were able to donate to Haven House in Buffalo recently because of couponing. Lots of body wash, shampoos and conditioners and lots of other odds and ends for personal care. It makes our family feel good to give to others, and it's teaching our kids to care :o)
