One of the projects I would like to do in the new year is to pick up items for the family shelter, a little at a time, while I am shopping.
A lot of you seem to know how to get good deals using coupons and BOGO offers.
I've never had a lot of luck or been able to master this. Any tips on what I can do , utilizing sales, coupons, etc. to stretch my charity grocery dollars farther?
The family shelter needs things like toilet paper, paper towels, dish and laundry detergent, cleaners, diapers, baby bedding, etc.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. I want to come up with my game plan soon, so I can jump on any after-christmas deals.
Advice on BOGO, etc. for charity

Start by making a list of the stores in your area, then go read the forums for those stores. You really do just have to jump in and start reading - start slow because there's a lot of info there. More than anything: remember to have fun!
My friend just had baby #2 and had enough diapers for the first 2 years before the baby was even born. She just got in on a baby food deal recently, and is now stocked up until the baby is on solid food. Baby is 3 months old now.

Friends of mine were amazed that one can shop on ebay for coupons! This comes in really handy if you're set on a brand name item and are unwilling to switch.
