My Adventures In Couponing

We all want to do things for a good cause, but we don’t always have the extra cash to dish out. Here are some low cost or free ways to make a difference.

Have cash but don’t want to spend a lot? Or really don’t have much cash, but still want to help? Here are some pointers:

1. Donate a small amount - Even $1 or spare change helps. If everybody did it, it would add up!

2. Donate when you make an EBay purchase. Sellers have the option of adding a donation to many charities when you check out. You can donate an extra dollar when you pay.

3. Purchase small things at fundraisers. Anything under $5 helps. Whether it be a bake sale, book-sale or candy bar fundraiser just purchasing one small item can make a big difference.

4. Shop places like the Salvation Army. It not only goes to a good cause, but it helps employ those that might not otherwise have a job.

Don’t have any cash but still want to help?

1. Donate your time. Many charities need volunteers. You’ll be helping a great cause without spending a penny!

2. Donate goods. Give to the Salvation Army or local food bank when you have extra stuff. Come across some high value or free coupons - use them to purchase the item and donate it. Or just donate the coupons themselves! Many animal shelters use free coupons to purchase food. Every little bit helps!

3. Sign petitions! It’s free and it works! Many animal and human rights laws are passed this way. Be a part of it! Here are some to get you started: Take Action!

4. Sell on Ebay? Pick a charity to raise donations when people pay. Just go to your account and search for a charity that suits you! There are tons to choose from.

5. Click to help. I love this website. All you have to do is click and a donation is made to help animals, hunger, the rain-forest and others. Visit each site to click once a day: Click To Give
