DONATION PROJECT 2011 - What can you get for $11 a week?

[nancyrose]

I've given up my daily Timmy's as well - - I take a travel mug with home brew every morning. I neeeeeeeeed my coffee! I rely on it to give me personality. HA!

What a fantastic New Year's resolution!!!! Made a special goal for the other $6.95/week savings?

This is amazing Patty, what an inspiration Looking forward to seeing what you can buy with $11 every week since we all know that it can be a lot

1% tax hike??? Huh??? Is this everywhere???

awesome job Patty i'm just upset because i would have had a ton of coupons for you but they all expired today

can't wait to see what you can buy every week and now i know what to finally send you

my suggestion is use travel coffee mugs when you go out make it home way cheaper and just as good that's what me and the hubby do and the french vanilla coffee mate is so yummy almost like a timmies lol

A wonderful idea Patty!

You've given me something to work towards this year. I don't usually make New Year's resolutions but I think this is one I could do. My New Year's resolution was always Not to Make a New Year's Resolution. (LOL)

Great idea!

Oh Patty, you never cease to amaze me! (hmm.wonder if DH666 is use to this?)
Yeah I should cut back on Timmies, but it's my reward for walking far(so I don't seize up).
Think I'll try and give up on my K-Cup coffee.
I'll need to ponder further.

heu ! i almost forgot....Great idea Patty and your 1st week streching your $11 is super...
for those who will follow Patty'S idea and put a little something aside for giving....please do not forget our elderly.....some of them in residences never have visitors and/or gifts....here is my little story.....as i did last Christmas, this year i had bought a little something for each resident on Dad'S same unit. With what happend, it was too hard and impossible for me to be there on the 24-25 to give them ...so yesterday, i went and gave each one their gift....as they were many more people than last year, it was just a tiny box of fine chocolate.....beleive me....they were so happy that someone thought of giving them a little something.....some even cried...it was just a little something for me to do and i was happy to do so....Dad is no longer there but if i can, i plan to do the same thing next Christmas.....If i, like Patty, start right now and use coupons, i must be able to buy more valuable gifts....sorry for the long story....Great thread Patty and i too, looking forward seeing all your donation stockpiling...
