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 10 - 36 items for $6.50

Week 10 was great!  I am still using the cash donation from Lamoine (I have about $4 left), so I was able to keep the out of pocket really low.  Also, I was able to buy clothing items, which I rarely have a chance to donate.  Here is the summary:

WEEK 10 RETAIL: $275.87
WEEK 10 BEFORE TAX: $21.70
WEEK 10 AFTER TAX: $6.50 (and after accounting for the cash donation - most expenses this week were fully covered!)

TOTAL RETAIL AFTER 10 WEEKS: $1,821.61
TOTAL OUT OF POCKET AFTER 10 WEEKS: $124.67

I am hoping for a few more money makers on formula next week if I can find the clearance prices again.  We are getting so close to our goal of $2,000!  I have a feeling we may hit it after 2 moew weeks of shopping, or even sooner if the deals this week have a high percentage of savings!  Very exciting!
