New Idea--at least for me

OK, I admit it. I have reverted back to my old habit of clipping coupons from the Sunday paper. I can usually only use one or two each time I get groceries, but the last time I did I decided to do something, quite by accident. I was patiently (I know, right?) waiting while the checker scanned my items, and I spied a couple pads with $1 and $5 respectively on them with opportunitiies to give to hungry people. Just tear them off, and give them to the checker; she scans them and voila, you've given to charity. So, I decided to give whatever I saved by clipping coupons. Admittedly, it's not very much, but it's more than they had before. It's fairly painless, just a few minutes on a relaxing Sunday morning to clip the coupons. I don't get the savings, but I feel good giving it to someone who really needs it. Christmas really sparks the giving spirit.
