Memorial Day- We Will Never Forget

I wanted to Thank all the troops who are serving overseas and at home protecting our country and those who have fallen.

We all think of Memorial Day as a day to grill, shop sales, and just relax at home with a paid day off from work. While I enjoy all of these great freedoms, I also remember why we have them. Without the fallen soldiers, and our current soldiers, we would not have them.

Let’s all take a moment today and everyday to say THANK YOU to all the soldiers who serve our country and their families and those who have fallen. They might be gone but they are never forgotten!

Politics aside they have a job to do, and NO ONE has the right to criticize these wonderful men and women who serve and give their lives for our country. I usually never talk about such things, but I feel very strongly about honoring our veterans, fallen, and current soldiers. I have family serving overseas right now so I am constantly praying for everyone’s safe return home. Every soldier is a brother, sister, mom, dad, son, daughter, uncle, aunt, to someone. Take some time to thank our heroes many of whom are gone, but they are never forgotten when we take time to thank them and their families for their service to our wonderful country!

I hope everyone has a safe Memorial Day.

TMR Frugal Living Tip #99- Stockpile Donations

Today’s thrifty living tip is to make donations from your stockpile. I end up with a lot of personal care items that I can’t use from sales and coupons and lots of free samples. I like to give away items from my stockpile. There are so many great organizations that are hurting for donations. This is an inexpensive way to help others without breaking your wallet. Many organizations would prefer the items instead of cash. The local women’s shelter in my area specifically asks for donations of personal care items, clothes, games and toys, and cleaning supplies.

You can send items overseas to the soldiers who would be very appreciative of care packages. Many female soldiers need tampons, panty liners, and maxi-pads as well as lotions and shower gels. Cheap flip flop’s they can use in the showers. There are several great websites to find the specific details with shipping information. Make sure to mark these boxes FEMININE if you send female razors and other feminine items they need.

Anysoldier.com great organization for sending care packages to our soldiers.

Here are a few other ideas to give non-perishable food and toiletries as well as cleaning supplies.

  • Women’s Shelters
  • Local Churches
  • Local Food Banks
  • Schools
  • Shelters
  • Neighbors or Friends or even Family members

Do you donate from your stockpile to help others? Please comment as I would love to read your stories.
