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:)

Week 7 - we hit $1,000 retail this week!

I can't believe we are already at $1,000 retail after only 7 weeks of shopping!  This was my biggest week yet, with a retail value of $233.60!!  There were lots of freebies, but still paid a lot of tax.  Our total out of pocket is over $100 so far, so we might hit the $300 limit I set for this year before we get to the Holidays!  I will have to watch my out of pocket closely over the next few weeks:)

TOTAL RETAIL - $233.60
TOTAL BEFORE TAX - $ $10.47
TOTAL AFTER TAX - $21.03

TOTAL RETAIL AFTER 7 WEEKS OF SHOPPING: $1,083.71
TOTAL BEFORE TAX: $56.12
TOTAL AFTER TAX: $108.01
