Some of you may know that I am a coupon clipper. I am involved in "SavingsAngel". This is a program that collects all of the store ads/sales, and matches them with coupons to show you what deals are available. Well, there have been many times that I have gotten food items or health and beauty items for free or near free because of this.
Realizing that I feel much better without high fructose corn syrup in my diet, I have made an effort to cleanse the house of the foods that contain this ingredient. Enter "freecycle". I am new to the "freecycle" world. My first 'offer' listing was for two boxes of rice krispies. The responses! The stories of people who need food for their family because of job cuts, job loss, or cut in hours. It is remarkable! And sad.
I am one who likes to tell people about things I think are great. In fact, many people have heard about savingsangel.com from me. Looking through my emails, I can say with even more certainty that I am very thankful for SavingsAngel and for the amount of food and other items I have been able to stock up on for little money. God has truly blessed us. Just a year and a half ago, we were in need of help from a food pantry through Degree's work. Now, I hope to pass on at least a portion of our current blessings to other people who continue to write about their food needs, even though the listing has been modified to say "taken".
