Pay it forward

Great idea!
For the new smart canucks ROAK is you pm(click on their name) a member for their snail mail address. Mail them your extra coupons in the mail. Also it is nice to check their wish list and send them ones they need. I have given a few Roaks. A few Roaks have been sent to me. It for sure is fun mail.

This is a great idea! I dropped off some free deodorant for my neighbour who is a single Dad as my husband and I are stocked up already and he sent me an email asking me if this was a "hint?" LOL. Anyhow, I think he was joking as I had told him if I ever stumbled across any freebies I would pass some their way if I could and he had said that would be great. Last week I was in line at Food Basics and a young couple behind me were considering returning an item as they were short some cash, and I happened to notice they had Purex and I had a 3.00 off coupon. I ROAKED them the coupon and they were able to buy everything so it felt really great to make a difference and to see them smiling. I wish we could see more random acts in our day to day life!! We were at the mall the other day and my son was begging to ride in the little drivey cart rental thingie and I was telling him no, it was too expensive, and Dad putting one away ROAKED it to us and wouldn't take the deposit $$ I offered him that he would have gotten back. My son was OVER THE MOON and "zoomed around the mall" with a huge smile. He used the 50 cent deposit we got back at a Garage Sale today to buy a VTECH educational toy. I wish I could tell that man how much we appreciated his ROAK and that his deposit gave the gift of education!

I'm willing to play. I have a bunch of baby coupons (diapers & formula) that I don't need.

I'll send it out to the first person who PM's me.

If anyone needs diapers/wipes, baby formula coupons, etc. please pm me. I have some, not a ton, but I no longer need them!

bump it up!!!

Such a wonderful idea! Thank`s so much for starting this thread. I actually just send out a raok to a new SC the other day! She will be getting a big envie of coupons any day now Also when I was shopping I handed out a bunch of the Save $5 wub 3 Gillette coupons to other shoppers! They were so shocked, lol. I will be continuing to do these raok for sure! I love helping out other people It feels so good!

I love this idea! I ROAKed a couple times this month so far. I did one to someone who posted in the trade section that they needed food so i just gave them a few, wasn't a big one but they were looking for something specific so i sent what i had and i gave a big donation to a fellow SCer who is from the same town as me who was collecting donations for a big apartment fire that's was in a near by town.

Bump !
I think this wonderful expecially for people who are in low income families and can quite afford to buy the things they need, but with coupons it can make things easier for them !!

Bump!

Bump!
I am proud to be a Smart Canuck! I think that there are many more wonderful things that could promote a spirit of kindness on this site. This is definitely one of them. Thank you for doing this.

Bump, bump, bump...

Great idea...I was going to post about having some June expires of food coupons.

So here goes...we are getting ready for supper. I will keep my ROAK open until the kids are in bed. Then I will draw a name from the ones who PM'd me.

Please in your PM put ROAK that way I know you want you name in the draw

Then I will PM the ones back tonight asking for their address. I know I will get overwhelmed with PM's, I'll only PM the ones that I have drawn for. When going through my coupons tonight I will decide how many I can send. Thinking now of what I have I could probably send about 2 or 3.

Good luck

BTW: GREAT IDEA Holly

I think this is a great idea! I don't have a lot of coupons yet (I'm just starting out) but I can put together a couple of envelopes for people. Just pm me with your address! I'll put together 3.

[davidsprincess]

*bump* this is going to be great, i can just tell!

[CouponLadybird]

I'm a newbie, but I'd love to help a couple people out. I can do one RAOK for baby items, and one RAOK for household/grocery. PM me your address and I'll get them together. I'll send to the first two to PM me, please let me know which you are wanting.
