Help Haiti w/ Resoltuion Research

It has been a tough week to watch the news. I find myself glued to the screen through my son's nap time watching the heartbreak in Haiti ( when I should be either cleaning or blogging ). And, I know most of us have helped out in any way we can. Remember, EVERY little thing helps. A little bit from a lot of people adds up!

So, I was happy to see one of my favorite Market Research companies, Resolution Research, is running a promotion through January 31st.

Resolution Research will donate 50 cents to the Clinton Bush Haiti Fund for each new member to their panel. You can read more about the fund here.

If you are not already a member, you can go here to register with Resolution Research and be a member of their panel. Not only will you get invites to future studies, but you also will be responsible for an additional 50 cents being donated.

Finally, don't forget they recently began a Refer a Friend program. So many of you have already signed up due to my previous posts on this company. So, this is your time to tell others! You can earn 2 points per friend you refer and these points can then be redeemed. So, this is the perfect time to send an email out to your friends/family inviting them to join. The more people you refer, the more the fund will earn for Haiti!

Reminder: Time to Clean Out and Donate Coupons!

This is a post from back in March, but thought it was time to bring it back and remind everyone...donate those coupons!!!!

Every month, I sit down and clean my expired coupons out. I do this for a couple reasons!

First, it prevents me from accidentally pulling expired coupons out and using them. It also reduces the size of my coupon filer..whew...that is a challenge. And, finally, it allows me to set aside my expired coupons and donate them to overseas Miliary families that can use them. Yay!

In addition to this company, I met a wonderful blogger at the Blissdom '09 Conference I went to in Nashville last month and had the opportunity to hang out with her again at BlogHer '09 in Chicago! Toni writes at the Happy Housewife ( a great blog by the way ) and also coordinates a program to donate coupons to Military families herself. So, I asked her to tell us a bit about the program for us all ...and hopefully we can all take part and help others save money, too!

Coupons for Troops is a program I started in 2008. My goal is to provide expired and non-expired coupons to military families stationed overseas. The prices in overseas commissaries are significantly higher than those in the States and military families do not always have access to coupons in newspapers and inserts.

Military commissaries overseas accept coupons up to six months past the expiration date.Military Commissaries accept manufacturer coupons as well as internet printed coupons. The Commissary is a grocery store so only "grocery" coupons are needed. Families cannot use store specific coupons (ie Target, Walgreens, Kroger).

Those who participate in Coupons for Troops are assigned an overseas military family. Coupons, which do not need to be sorted, are then sent directly to the assigned family. All overseas military families have FPO or APO addresses so mailing coupons costs the same as if you were sending them stateside. You can send as many or as few coupons as you have available. Please only send coupons that have been expired 3 months of less in order to give the families time to sort and use the coupons.There are also opportunities to send non expired coupons to military families living overseas that do not have access to the commissary.

If you are a military family stationed overseas and would like to receive coupons we would love to add you to the mailing list.For questions, more information, or to be assigned an overseas family please send an email to thehappyhousewife@gmail.com. You must put " Coupons for Troops" in the subject line.
