MyLitter - One Deal At A Time

Reader Gina sent me this pitcure and the following email:

The Women in our church (LDS) meet  once a month for an activity and in November, we will be making and donating bags of items to the local womens shelter.We are starting to collect things now so we will have enough in November.  Well, a few weeks ago, we had a visitor at church and I had brought in some items to donate at that time that I had used coupons to get, so I was showing them to the women so they could see that you don’t have to spend a lot to help out. This visitor came up after and quietly donated $20 to purchase items with since she wouldn’t be visiting long enough to go shopping.

I was given the $ and told to get what I could with it. The challenge was on! :O)

So, attached is a pic of what I got with the $20 and coupons.. no coupons were doubled or tripled and most items were bought at either target or walmart.

This is what I was able to get:

3 shirts
8 packs razors
5 nail polishes
1 nail clippers
3 body washes
11 deodorants
2 packs dry erase markers (school supplies)
3 make-ups
1 mascara
1 travel q-tips
3 travel first aid kits
2 toothbrushes
4 lip balms

** So this got me thinking…. I used to do the $25 mall challenge, I know I have not done that in a long time and it was a lot of fun. Let’s do this: If you want to take the $20 challenge, leave a comment. I will randomly pick 5 people and mail them each a $20 Visa gift card. Then you can go shopping and see how much stuff you can get with the $20 to donate! If this sounds like fun to you, leave a comment and tell us if you are up to the challenge! Giveaway will close on Friday afternoon.
