Welcome!

Coupons for Causes LA is an organization that uses coupons to buy items to donate to Upward Bound House, a local charity. Upward Bound House assists homeless families with minor children by providing housing and support services along with food and personal supplies. Using coupons and sales we are able to save over 90% off retail on a variety of products, which means UBH gets more products to help families in need. The more coupons we have the more deals we can get, so please consider donating your Sunday paper coupons. Or you can shop along with us, as we show you where to find the best freebies and deals around town! Start your own donation bag, and see how quickly it fills up:)

CVS strikes again!

Another great thing about CVS is the quarterly Extra Care Bucks pay out.  Every 3 months, the Magic Coupon Machine at CVS will give you ECB (credit that you can use in store) based on your spending.  A few weeks ago I got $5 in ECB, and here is what I bought today to use it:

2 colgate toothpaste.  These were on sale 2/$5 and I used 2 $.50/1 coupons. Cost $4.
2 Nivea lotion tins.  The coupon machine printed a coupon for $3/2 nivea products. I bought 2 of these tins for $.99 each, so I actually MADE $1 to buy them!!!
1 pack of Scunci hair elastics.  The machine also gave me a $2 off any hair accessory coupon (again!).  These were $2.99, and I used the $2/1 coupon plus the $1 overage from the nivea to make them free.
1 Lady Mitchum deodorant.  This was on sale for $1.99, and I had a $1 off coupon, making it $.99.

So my total cost was $5, and I used $5 ECB making it all free!  And to top it off I earned $3 ECB for the toothpaste purchase.  My next post will show you how I used it!
