Random Acts Of Couponing Kindness


--by ironlady48, posted Oct 21, 2010

I usually go to the supermarket with coupons in hand for the items I intend to buy.

This time I took my whole collection and handed over coupons to people who were shopping and who had the right items in their basket. 

I even saw one mom who looked like she could use some help so I took my coupons for some free items, gathered up those items and gave them to her. At first she said she could not afford the items but once I explained they were free with the coupon she was very appreciative.

I know I could have used the items but she sure needed them more.
