Wednesday: Common Kindness

Here's a neat idea whose time has come--you can save money on products using coupons and donate to your favorite non-profit organization at the same time through Common Kindness. It's easy--register at the website and then select charities you want to support, either by name or by searching on a keyword (such as "global warming"). Next, search for coupons that you want. I recently searched the category "organic" and came up with coupons for organic milk and quinoa. Print the coupons out, and when you redeem them, Common Kindness makes a donation to the charity you choose. (Each time you visit, you can change which charity to donate to before you "clip" new coupons.)

By the way, if you know someone who works for a non-profit that is NOT listed on the site, why not drop them an e-mail letting them know about this program so that they can contact someone in their organization to get signed up?
