How’s your stockpile doing? If it’s like mine, it’s growing quite nicely. I think it’s time to give some away.
I am inviting you to join me in giving a portion of your stockpile away during the week of May 2-8.
In fact, I can’t tell you how excited I am to share this next bit of news.
Ever since that whole Nightline thing went down, I have become more convinced than ever of one thing: we as couponers have the abilities and resources to impact our communities in a BIG way.
And then it hit me–what if we made a united effort to give? The impact could be amazing.
So I’ve been busy, busy, busy behind the scenes inviting my fellow coupon bloggers to join me in asking our readers to GIVE during the week of May 2-8.
And I’ve been thrilled with their response. I’ve created a Facebook Event page where you can check out the other blogs participating in the event. Check it out! They just keep coming.
NOTE: If YOU are a blogger that would like to participate in this event, let me know!
Here is where YOU all come in:
- First, head on over to the Facebook page and indicate that you plan on taking part by clicking on ‘Attending’.
- Second, start thinking now about what you would like to give and where. Next week is the Stamp Out Hunger Food Drive as well, so giving will be as easy as putting a bag of non-perishable items out by your mailbox on Saturday, May 8. If you are like me and have a lot of health and beauty items to give away, then you may want to plan on giving to a friend in need or to a local homeless shelter.
- Third, TELL US ALL ABOUT IT!! What will make this event fun is seeing how much everyone has given! Upload pictures on the Facebook page and share in the comments what you have been able to give. Yep–it’s ok to brag!
- Finally, on Saturday May 8, I will have a Mr. Linky up where bloggers can leave links to posts or you can leave a comment sharing how you were able to give. We all can celebrate together!
WHO’S IN?!
A very special thanks goes to Sharon from Good, True, and Beautiful for designing the ‘Couponing for Community’ button. Thanks, Sharon!
Post is finally up with pictures!! This is a great cause and looking forward to being involved with future donations!!! Thanks for putting this all together!!!
It’s been a blast, Denise!
Jumping on the band wagon a little late, as I didn’t see this till Friday night, but please add me in. ! I positively support donations! It’s one of the 12 “business” principles I advocate consumers adopt and use – and I think this is a fantastic idea to rally everyone to really make a difference! I’lll definately be linking to this article.
Such a neat idea–I just blogged about it on my CVS blog, Simply CVS. I love being able to donate and joining together like this makes it seem more powerful–like multiplying your donation.
My post is up about Stamp Out Hunger and I’ve linked back to this article! I’m in!!
Such a great idea, I am excited to post about this and help stamp out hunger!
I just posted! So excited about this, thanks Kaley!
Count me in!!! :o) Also I will be adding the info to my blog… !!!!
I’m in and posting it to my site right now!
This is great timing! The message at church this weekend had me thinking about me thinking about ways in which couponers could help give back to the community and I have several posts sketched out for this week. I’ll post them at http://whatacoolidea.blogspot.com
Thanks for pulling everyone together to go in one direction!
I’m in!! I love this idea. It’s a great way to show that being frugal is not being cheap and selfish. I’ll be blogging about it at http://centisible-living.com/
I’m joining in! I can’t wait to purge my cabinets and stock up on freebies/cheapies this week for the project! Thanks for hosting this great event!

I’m not a blogger but am up to the challenge! I also have lots of personal care items that I want to find out where I can donate.
I just watched the Nightline story…I sincerely hope that Nathan does not keep THAT much food in his garage; it’s more than my local city suburb’s food pantry.
I did see a story on the NBC

It’s labeled Shrewd shoppers embrace coupon clipping….now I have never gotten my final bill down to less than $10 but I have saved upwards of 60-70%
Love your site BTW
I will absolutely participate in this!! GREAT idea! Will be posting later tonight on my blog about it and hopefully will have a photo up later this week with my donation!
Hi! Love you for planning this! The couponing community definitely has the means and the generosity of spirit to make this one awesome give-fest. I’m looking forward to reading about the results and the impact we couponers can make in our local communities and around the nation!
I’ve signed up both my blogs and a post about the event on each.
I love this idea! My stockpile is overrunning us at the moment. I am on my way over to the Facebook page to RSVP right now. Thanks for making such a wonderful effort for us all to participate in!!

I have no idea how to RSVP on Facebook [[for whatever reason, it won’t let me]], but PLEASE count me in. I actually have four boxes of stuff that my mom and I have got ready to go to two separate charities. It won’t go til this week — to coincide with this — so please count on Drugstore Divas to take part =]
