I have to say again how much I love, love The Raleigh Rescue Mission.
They are always so sweet when we go and grateful what we bring.
The sweet ladies even remember my kids names.
It makes bringing the Bags of Hope to he needy women of the triangle that much more rewarding.
Please consider making a donation to the Raleigh Rescue Mission or bring them gently unused household item, food, clothing, medicine and more.

More Bags to The Raleigh Rescue Mission!!
The kids and I delivered 7 more Bags of Hope to the Raleigh Rescue Mission today and it felt so good. Each bag contained personal hygiene products for the women of a retail value of $64.
One of the bet things is that the products in the bags are full size and should last the women a month or more.
I estimated that it cost between .50 - .75 to fill each bag using all the coupons that people have so generously donated to me.
We were able to get everything in the bags that we wanted including a package of new underwear for each one. That is really exciting because it is almost impossible to find coupons for those.
The ladies there are great and know me and the kids by name - they are so grateful so everyone is happy.
I am scouting out some new deals for this weeks because we need to load up on some feminine products, shampoo and shaving cream.
I received my 10% coupon for using my Rite Aid Wellness card (yes that means I shop there way too much) so I will be trying to combine that with the $25 gift certificate I got from them for one of their skin care rebate.
I will try and see how much I can score with those together - happy shopping.

Target Food Coupons
There are some great new coupons from the Target Website for $$ off bakery items, vegetables and cheese.
These do not come around often and usually don't last on the site to long, so I would print while they are still available.
There are also two new coupons for $ off kids jeans - if you can find some on clearance you may find a sweet deal.
We are headed to bring a few Bags of Hope to The Raleigh Rescue Mission today.....yeah!!

Raleigh Rescue Mission - dropped of Bags today
The kids and I took four bags stuffed with feminine products, personal care items and toiletries to the newly opened location of Raleigh Rescue Mission on Corporation Drive Drive in Raleigh.
Each 'Bag of Hope' contained $50 worth of personal hygenie items for women in need.
How did couponing help me on my goal to fill these bags?
I was able to estimate the out of pocket cost of each bag to be approx. $1.60 and the retail value to be $50 per bag.
So 4 bags with the retail value of $200 I was able to fill for $6.40 with the use of coupons.
It is a very clean, big warehouse where they collect everything from food to clothes and personal items to furniture.
The women that work there are wonderful. They were very kind and offered us a tour of the inside so the kids could see exactly where their donations were going.
They had things separated so when a shelter calls and says they need "X" they are able to go over to the appropriate area to collect the items.
It was wonderful to see a lot of baby items, such as diapers and wipes as well as household items for when the women transition into permanent housing.
One of their largest needs right now is larger size undergarment. Please consider picking up even one package of underwear or find a Buy One get One Free sale at a local mall and buy yourself a bra and donate the other.
Either way it is a win win solution.
My favorite thing about The Raleigh Rescue Mission is that they provide all items free of cost to the women in need. Many of these women have small children and other family members.
