I completly agree. I used to stock pile not as much as you see others but I did. I now have a box of stock pile that will be dropped off at a shelter as a learning experience for my daughter (teaching her to help others). Thanks for the post.

We will eventually use everything I have . <BR/><BR/>I like being able to go into my closet anytime and pulling things out to donate! :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-445393245406196085.post-35861452036221138642008-08-24T21:50:00.000-04:002008-08-24T21:50:00.000-04:00Well put!!!!

I may link back to this when I have time to do my post on stockpiling/giving.<BR/>The other commenter on this post mentioned Operation Christmas Child. I had planned on putting that in my post too was stoked to see someone else mentioning it.Maryanne Gobblehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08828615069057687076noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-445393245406196085.post-10424761006313313732008-08-16T12:20:00.000-04:002008-08-16T12:20:00.000-04:00Dear Saving & Giving,I came across your Blog t...Dear Saving & Giving,<BR/>I came across your Blog through other couponing blogs. I'm new to this couponing thing (I just moved here from Australia, where we don't have coupons) and I very quickly asked myself the same question you just addressed about hoarding vs. stockpiling. I completely agree with your "analysis" and have also decided that if I can get things for free, I will, but they will be donated to the food basket at church. I also don't see the point of stashing tens of bottles of things - especially items we don't actually use! I am brand loyal in some areas (i.e. shampoo) and will continue to buy my preferred hair products, even at full price, but if I can get a bottle of Pert Plus for free and donate it - great.<BR/><BR/>Another idea I had for using things like Johnson's Buddies soap, toothpaste, toothbrushes, etc that you can get for free: Operation Christmas Child. It's a cause that sends shoe boxes of items overseas to kids at Christmas. You put together a shoe box that is gender and age specific (i.e. 5-year-old girl) and it's sent overseas. They always suggest you include some personal care items. So I figure if I can put a toothpaste, toothbrush, soap and a few other items in I got for free, it will free up a bit of money to buy a nicer toy or pieces of clothing.<BR/><BR/>Thank you for your perspective and Blog. God Bless.<BR/>JenniferThe Taskershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13675676250573318478noreply@blogger.com
