Making a Difference With Coupons

Each month, me and my mom will give $25 of our own money towards purchasing items for the local food pantries. $25 might not seem like a lot, but when you combine it with a sale AND coupons, it can make a huge difference. The picture above shows what we'll be donating this week. Before coupons and sales, all of these items would have cost almost $120. With sales and coupons, we were able to buy all of this for under $25. What we're donating: 3 packs of diapers, 21 packs of Huggies diaper wipes, six Reach toothbrushes, one tube of Colgate toothpaste, 4 Dove deodorants.

If you would like to help us do more, please contact us about donating your coupons!

UPDATE: If you're in Traverse City, you can drop your coupons off at the West Bay Subway restaurant (it's located on M-22). Please feel free to keep and use the Subway coupons in this week's paper (since we can't donate perishable goods).

We're looking for coupons

While we use A LOT of coupons from the newspaper, there are often coupons that are available online for printing. Here's a coupon for Dove deodorant. You can print it twice and by doing so, you'll help us buy deodorant for the local food pantries! You can either drop the coupons in the mail or you can drop them off with your Sunday coupons.

Thanks for helping us help our neighbors~

Send us your coupons

Rather than throw away your Sunday coupons, why not send them to us so that we can use them to help support local food banks? If you're in the Traverse City area, please send us an email and we can arrange a drop off. If you're not in the Traverse City area, but would like to share your coupons, you can mail them to

PO Box 1015
Traverse City, MI 49685

Stay tuned to future blog posts where we'll post photos and updates about how much food we've been able to donate with YOUR help.
