Food Pantries

In this trying times local food pantries are running low. Their donations are down and they are serving more families. The one thing we all can do is use are coupons wisely. I use coupons to get items free or almost free. I then donate these items to a local food pantry. I am not spending much more on my groceries and I am helping someone else in the process. I place the items in a basket when I am putting my groceries away. When the basket is full, I make a trip to one of the local pantries. If I hear that there is a need before the basket is full I then make the trip to that pantry. Today I took five full bags to the local food pantry. I find I am giving more and I am actually spendning less just by using my coupons wisely.
