Free Body Wash at Target



You can get these body washes for FREE(actually a bit of a money maker) at Target! They are on price cut right now for $1.72 a piece and you can use the $4 off 2 coupon from a couple weeks back! I know I also have a couple $2 off 1 coupons too! At the Rosedale Target they are near the south endcap in a special section in the soap aisle! Good luck!

P.S. These are yet another GREAT item to donate if you don't think you will use them! I know mine went straight to the Hope Center bag! :) Also, don't forget about the 2 trial size Rightguard deoderant you can get for free too....another great item to donate!

Another thought

Another thought about things to donate....always keep an eye out for items that are suitable for an individual serving. Here's what I mean. The Hope Center always has bags ready to go for men & women who are homeless. To do this, they need canned goods that have a 'pop-top', not requiring a can opener. They also need items that can be stored and eaten easily 'on the road' so to speak. Like individual pudding cups and fruit cups, granola bars, etc. So....keep your eye out for these items when you are out shopping/couponing! I know they would GREATLY appreciate it! Just another little way we can help!

What is your something?

I just got back from a meeting at our church about the direction we are taking with Small groups. If you happen to attend Olive Knolls...get ready...it is going to be great and intense. Without giving too much away, it follows the story of the Good Samaritan, and it challenges us to act. To start. To do something. The world is full of hurt and pain and sorrow and as Christians....as humans....we have to do something, even if it is just a small something. This is something that the Lord has been throwing at me personally in SO many ways recently and has led Mike and I to make some BIG decisions about the future of our family and what WE WILL DO.

Another aspect of what I can do involves all this silly couponing. As I improve on this skill, I am able to get many items for free or near free. I began to think what an awesome opportunity this provides me to 'spread the wealth'. So, I now have a bag in the garage that I fill with some of the things that I get that I know can be used at the Hope Center/food bank, and it doesn't cost me much at all. It is just a little thing that I can do. And so, I challenge you to think....what is your something?

Items the Hope Center/food bank can ALWAYS use and ALWAYS need
-toothpaste
-toothbrushes
-shampoo
-soap
-deoderant
-other personal hygiene items
-toilet paper
-diapers
-canned meat goods
-canned fruit
-any other non-perishable food items

Happy Couponing! :)
