Donating to food pantries

This is the time of year many area food pantries are looking for donations. As I posted in my most recent post, my daughter cleaned out my canned food supply as her school was having a competition about whose school could donate the most canned food items to an area food pantry.

If you are shopping the grocery game or using coupons and shopping the sales, I know you have been thrilled with your savings that you have made for your family.

Try spending an extra 10 dollars this week and see how many extra canned goods, cleaning products, and/or toiletries you can get and consider donating these items to your local church and/or food pantry. If you are saving great percentages on your shopping, your 10 dollar investment would be 20 dollars worth of food. Your 20 dollar investment would be 40 dollars worth of food, etc. Imagine the possibilities!

During your next grocery shop, try turning your savings adventure into one that can also help people in your own community!
