Remember this post where I was inspired by Shelly over at The World According to Eggface?
Shelly donated one food item for each pound that she had lost in her weight loss journey.
Well, after lots of coupon clipping and hunting down sales flyers at my local grocery stores, I finally gathered all 114+ non-perishable food items to represent the 114 pounds that I have lost.
Here I am just before dropping it all off at my local food bank:
I would like to give special thanks and a shout out to Peace, Love, and Coupons. They're my go-to coupon source. I puffy heart that blog!
I'm incredibly inspired by not only your loss, but also your civic mind. Thanks for being a continued source of inspiration.
ReplyDeleteI love this idea. I am an avid couponer -- and one of the reasons is for the sole purpose of giving. I hope this becomes a "thing". At first I thought I might wait till goal -- but now I think I may do this when I reach 100lbs lost.
ReplyDeleteThis was an awesome idea! What a great way to give back.
