How Far Has Your Happy Reached?
This comment came from a reader this morning. We find this reader’s comments very inspiring and thought we would share.
I just wanted to let you know what a blessing your site is to me and let you know how I was able to pass the blessing along. I started couponing, seriously in January. I have 2 daughters and a foster son all in college. We are also planning and paying for my oldest daughters wedding, which is in Oct, so needless to say money is tight, even though my husband and I both work. I have been able to stock my pantry and cabinets with enough food and household items to last us several months, even if I don’t buy another thing!
Recently my church started collecting items to send to our Youth Pastor, who is currently serving with the Army National Guard in Afghanistan. He will then distribute these items to his unit, which consist of 120 men and women. I was able to take a huge shopping bag full of items to the collection site without spending a fortune! I took toothpaste, body wash, razors, deodorant, granola bars, instant oatmeal, coffee, and several other hygiene and food items, most of which I got for free or almost free! Without using my coupon stash, I would not have been able to afford to take even a fraction of these items. It was such a blessing to me to be able to take all of these items to send to our much deserving troops and I wanted to thank you for making it all possible!
Thanks and happy couponing!
While Frugal Fairhope is a great place to find great deals (in our humble opinion) our goal is not that. Our goal is to create a community of caring and Happies! This reader took it farther than just the local community but this reader’s Happy reached to Afghanistan.
How far has your Happy reached?
For those of you who are new to Frugal Fairhope and don’t have a clue what a “Happy” could be, keep reading.
If you get anything out of Frugal Fairhope we hope that it is not just to get the best deals but to give back to your community. The smallest thing could mean a lot to one person.

This statement sums up the entire purpose of why we started Frugal Fairhope.
We want to help as many people as we can.
“Rough economic times” or not we are here to make an impact on someone’s life.
Post by post, coupon by coupon, freebie by freebie…saving that $.50 to getting a smile on your face or when you open the mailbox and find something there besides bills. A “Happy” (gift) as my 99 year old great grandmother Mamo use to put it. She loved getting a “Happy”. She was such a caring person that she wanted to re-gift the “Happy” and give it back to the original person or to someone new. It was almost like she wanted to share the happiness with everyone.
Frugal Fairhope is our “Happy” to you and we hope that you will share it and other Happies with everyone you meet.
