    Using Coupons To Help Charities
    No more excuses for not giving to the food bank...when a jar of Ragu Spaghetti Sauce is on sale for $1.50, and you have a coupon for .50 cents off that is doubled to $1.00 off at your store, do you know what you have? You have a 50-cent jar of spaghetti sauce you can donate to the local food bank....this is just one example.
