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:)

My first 6 Freebies for the new goal:)

This morning I picked up the 6 items pictured below for only $.26 out of pocket!!  I know the free Enfagrow has become commonplace, but for anyone new I will recap how I got another 4 packs for free:)

A few weeks ago Rite Aid was running a sale on the Enfagrow - they are regularly priced at $6.99 and on sale for $3.49.  I realize now I should have asked for rainchecks from every store I went to, but I did remember to get one to lock in the sale price for 30 days.  Today, with some new coupons in hand, I went back out and scored 4 more packs for free.  I did use up the quantity on this rain check, so it seems the gravy train has ended...unless I find more packs with $2 peelie coupons!!

I used a new $10/2 coupon as well as a $5/1 coupon donated by Tracie (thank you!!).  My total for 4 packs was only $13.96, so I asked the cashier if he would price adjust the coupons since they were worth more than the product.

I also had a $2 reward that was expiring today, so I picked up 2 packs of Ricola.  They were on sale 2/$3, and I used a $1/2 coupon, making them $2.  The $2 reward covered the total amount and I paid sales tax only on the Ricola (no tax on food!), so I fished $.26 in change out of my wallet.  I also made $1 in rewards for buying the Ricola!

A pretty good start!
