As a young child our family was homeless for a short period of time.  My parents, brother and I lived in our car, took showers at truck stops, and shared meals.  I know how it feels to have nothing.  And I also know how it feels to be given something that you are not able to buy.  That’s one reason I love coupons.  Because I’m able to purchase items for 75% off or more and give them to others in need.  With that being said I have decided to do a challenge for the month of October.  To see how many items I’m able to purchase for $25, using only the coupons from the 5 paper subscriptions I receive every week, printable coupons, and store coupons I find.  At the end of the month, I will take a picture and donate it to local charity.

Any one want to join in on the fun?
