Today is Memorial Day: a day when we honor the men and women who fought and died for our country.
This patriotic holiday has me thinking: how can we use our super couponing skills to help others, specifically the men and women of the armed forces? The answer is to take those freebies and over-stockpiled items from your shelves, and send them to soldiers in the line of duty via http://www.anysoldier.com/. Any Soldier is a non-profit organization that connects servicemen and women around the world with stateside citizens who send them care packages. On Any Soldier's website, you can search the "wish lists" of soldiers and find out how to send them the items they need, which range from cotton socks and antiperspirant to Skittles and beef jerky.
There are so many bargains out there, giving can be painless, even in this economy. I mean, how many Speed Sticks can you use? Here are a few examples of free or nearly free items you can get this week:
CVS
Speedstick Pro, $3.99 (earns $3.99 ECBs)
Colgate Total toothpaste, 2.99 - $1 coupon online (earns $2 ECBs)
Beef Jerky, $5.99 B1G1, $1 peelable coupons on some packages
Walgreen's
Reach toothbrushes, 2/$5 - B1G1 coupon 4/26 RedPlum (earns $3 RRs)
Adidas deodorant $1.99, use $1 Adidas coupon from 4/5 RedPlum
These are just examples; every week, you can find offers like these. Share the love!
