4 Kraft Dressing

5 Bullseye

4 Knorr Pasta

4 Wheatable Crackers

Total Spent: around $10 (after coupons and CATS)

Were you able to grab some great deals for donation???

Change The World- Addiction Reader!

We encourage you to snag great deals every week for donation purposes, to help Change The World! There are many families out there struggling to make ends meet , what a blessing it is to GIVE unto those families nice products and name brand food for only cents spent! It may cost you a little extra of your oh so precious time, but if your family's deodorant stockpile is looking pretty nice, and this week you can snag some for FREE at Dollar General, why not stop and pick up a few to bless someone else!

What a blessing it is to GIVE!

Mindy a loyal SavingAddiction reader emailed us today:

I figured out how much I have donated so far this year :)


Retail $778.93

Amount paid $87.04

when divided by 20 weeks, that is an average of only $4.35 per week

Wow, who would have thought. Very excited with this :) I know I have never donated this much in food before, and I think this is as addicting as getting my own deals!!!

Thanks Mindy!!!!

A Giving Heart does not come natural (I know this from personal experience!), it takes prayer and a willing heart!

We Dare you to GIVE!

Change the World!

Here is how I spent my spare change this week!

My family is not a fan of Stove Top Stuffing, so does that mean I shouldn't still buy it at the $0.04 price at Meijer???? Absolutely not! I should buy as much as I can to bless another family through donation. It did take me 5 minutes to separate my transactions at Meijer, but that's 5 minutes worth spending! :)

Meijer:

Stove Top Stuffing $0.04 a Box (See HERE)

Rite Aid:

Infusium 23 $0.99 (See HERE)

Total Spent: Less than $3  Total Retail $43.87!!

4 Sure (used 4 $1.50 coupons + in ad)

We hope you can stop buy Tuesday with some of these FREE items and experience the joy of giving!

Change the World!

Have you tried Changing the World with your spare change? Not only can you bless the lives of others but the blessing you receive in return is truly amazing! My cousin sent me this photo this morning because she has plenty of stockpile items to last her for many, many years and so it was TIME TO GIVE! She found a local organization that helps local women of many different problems get back on their feet in 90 days! I am sure these women will be blessed beyond measures by using these products!  (Thanks, Miranda!)

We dare you to try and give!

This is my Change the World with Change this week! I missed a week and to tell the truth I am just plain ADDICTED to Change the World with Change!

My kids love it and we now are able to donate something through church to Women in Transition. After writing Living Large with Coupons, I know how blessed I am by coupons! For those women who leave their houses so quickly, I want to donate some items that will make them feel special and give them some hope for their future!

If you have never purchased items and donated (other than just cleaning out the stuff in your house) them to help out those who are in need, I encourage you to do it! IT IS ADDICTING!!
