Now is the time for us to help.
You know that am a firm believer in “save more to give more”. The savings we receive from couponing- frees up funds to be more generous in our giving. And now is the time to give. Of course couponing can also provide a way to donate actual “goods”, but often in these difficult times, a monetary donation can strech even further.
My blogging friend Carrie from Coupon Closet has provided this list of ways to help the Tornado victims in Oklahoma. The pic above was taken from Carrie’s neighbor’s front yard- so she is right in the midst of what is happening there.
