Clearance + Coupon = Free Earth’s Best Formula at Walgreens!

Have a look at your Walgreens to see if you can find this formula on clearance.  Add a coupon and get it totally free!  I like to keep some formula in my earthquake kit, even though my kids are too old for it.  Because it stores in powder form I am not as worried about it being damaged.  Or it is a great donation item - the food bank or Upward Bound House are 2 places I know that would take this freebie off your hands!

Support the Troops With anysoldier.com

I started sending care packages to deployed American troops when I first started couponing, and found that I could sometimes get things for free that my own family doesn't necessarily use.  There is an amazing web site called anysoldier.com, where unit leaders can post about the size of their group and things they could use while deployed.  It is so fun to put together packages for the troops and know that they might brighten up someone's day!  

It is so interesting to read about what various people need and want, and to understand a bit about their lives while they are overseas.  I have found that if you include a self addressed envelope and some paper with your package, the soldiers very often will send you a note, which is so cool to read with your kids!  Some leaders even guarantee a picture and note will be sent out to you.

I am posting about this in honor of Memorial Day, but these men and women are out there all the time working hard, so any time you are looking for a project to do with your kids put together a little something, or get a group together and all contribute to a package or two.  It doesn't have to be expensive, just a little something to let them know you are thinking about what they are doing, regardless of the politics:)

Better World Books - Donate and Buy Used Books

I saw this site referenced in a magazine article about getting kids involved in charity, and I have to say I love the idea.  My kids, like most, have a hard time donating their old stuff, but I think I could get them to choose a book or two to mail in to this organization, which uses proceeds to support world literacy programs.

All you need to do is go onto the website and request a shipping label that you can print out so that you can ship your books to BWB for free. A great way to teach your kids about charity without any out of pocket expense.

The site also sells books, so you can purchase used books that others have donated.  I looked up Dr. Seuss, and there were a lot of titles for around $3-$4 each, plus shipping is free! The site labels each book depending on the condition, so you will see "used great" to "used acceptable" next to the price.

The way I go through books this is absolutely going to save me money.  As much as I do adore the library, I also like to be able to keep my books on my shelf like little markers of accomplishment.  And I love to keep my kids' bookshelves fresh and full too:)  The link to the site is below.
