Saver Queen Shopping Challenge - update
Posted on December 20th, 2008 6 comments
There is still time to join Saver Queen Shopping Challenge to donate food and personal items to your local food bank! Deadline for participation is December 24, so there is still time to enter to win a prize.
I filled two big boxes with food and I will be dropping them off tomorrow at the fire station, which is a dedicated drop-off zone for the Daily Bread Food bank.
If you want to participate, simply let me know what you bought, or take a picture and send it to me, or link back with a blog post that shows what you bought!
I’ve heard this year has been particularly tough on the food banks. So let’s be as generous as possible! Remember you can contribute more by combining great sales with coupons!
So far Kate, Nancy, Annie, Money Minder and Erran have expressed interest in participating. Annie has already made her donation. For everyone else, please update me with your progress by December 24th in order to be eligible for the draw!

Hi SQ~
As I mentioned to you before, I took two huge boxes of food to the food bank at Thanksgiving.
My girlfriend/husband, hubby and I took a boy and a girls bike, helmut, elbow/knee pads to the Christmas Bureau. While there, I learned that they had only ‘2′ outfits for boys while the girls table was laden with clothes. So, off I went and purchased jeans, tops, p.j.’s in boy’s sizes, 2, 4, 5, 6 and 7 - and now I’ll have to re-wiggle my budget!
Merry Christmas to everyone! -
