Awesome!!! Love seeing your deals! And coupons! Still on the lookout for the Hunts one!!! I just went though my stock and gave to the foodbank as well! I think it is a great lesson for the kids!
Wow, this is incredible.
I'll be reading this thread regularly.
I love this thread.
You are such an inspiration to all. Just imagine the shape the country's food banks and shelters would be in if more people did this!
Thanks for sharing such a wonderful idea.
Baby steps... turning into GIANT leaps! :) A lot of people wouldn't notice $11/week and already it's almost a $1000 donation! AMAZING!!!Quote:

Lshortt donated 4 packs of diapers, formula, baby food, a diaper bag/backpack and a few other things to. Its the satisfaction of knowing that you can help someone else who isn't as fortunate as you are. Even if we get this stuff for free or dirt cheap. Its not about the value of it..its the value of being able to give it to someone who desperately needs it! Makes you feel so good inside! :)
Keep up the good work! I look forward to seeing your pics EVERY week!
Great Work, Patty!! Enjoy reading this thread!
Thanks everyone, yes Ashely it's not about how much you paid it's what it's worth to those who need it.
you're amazing patty.Quote:

I am dumbfounded, awestruck, speechless! This is absolutely amazing. I have never seen any donations done like this before. You are an incredible person (or should I say family and include dh666 in there :)?).

Update on Post #2 for Week 12
I have lots of health and beauty products but hopefully I can start to get more canned goods. We'll see what the coming weeks bring.
I will post pics of my first drop off load. We are going to the men's shelter tomorrow.
Let me see those pearly whites :) Congrats on a great haul once again! Good for you for going to the Men's Shelter to make a drop off! I am sure they will be very grateful!
