When you shop with coupons who do you have in mind when you purchase the items or get them for free? There are times that I have my family in mind, other times I pick up things knowing that it is meant for a specific person, and sometimes I don't know who it is meant for yet. In the past few weeks I have seen dish soap, ketchup, pens, dental floss, deodorant, laundry detergent, and some other things go from my stockpile or "store" to four different households.
When I started to use coupons I really did not have a specific goal in mind. I still don't. I enjoy the rush I get when saving a lot. Disappointed at times when I don't save as much as I could have. Have a giving heart.
There are days that I find are so packed with other things that I don't have time to clip and organize my coupons. I don't give up just because time is not on my side. I think about how much I save both myself and others, the conversations I have with others about using coupons, teaching my son about savings, etc.
No matter what the reason you are using coupons, share your savings stories with others, you might be the lifeline they are looking for. You might have helped turn a bleak situation into hope. Some people don't know how to maximize their savings, teach them. Offer your tips, share your stockpile, share your stories.
