There will be no coupons in the paper today 12/25, I am sure you could probably find deals on-line but don't, spend this day with those that you love. I wish each of you a very Merry Christmas. It has been such a privilege getting to know so many of you this year and helping in even a tiny way to help you to be a good steward of you spending and be able to save. I know so many of you have been struggling this year and yet many of you still have captured the spirit of Christmas, giving to others.

Here are two Memphis Mommy reader story I want to share and I know there are many others, first is an e-mail response to winning a Fred's gift card from me and I will not share the name.

"Just wanted to share with you that yesterday I received the $25 Fred's gift card that I won. I had originally planned to use those towards Toys for Tots but since I didn't receive them until yesterday, last week my husband and I decided that we would use our car payment for this month on Toys for Tots and just pay a late fee later. So we spent $300 on Toys for Tots this Christmas from Fred's, Target, and Walmart. We managed to scoop up an additional $250 (from change laying around the house to asking friends and family to donate their change and/or bills) to donate to the Midsouth Food Bank. I wanted to share with you that when I received the $25 Fred's gift card that I donated that to the Midsouth Food Bank as well.

Thank you for everything you did this Christmas to help us do this. This has made us both feel extremely happy to be able to help others. As much as a struggle it will be financially on us because my husband was laid off last October, it was very much worth it. Knowing that others will be fed and children will have something to open on Christmas morning is the best feeling in the world. I will be doing this throughout the year. That is my New Years Resolution."

And if you haven't seen one of the newscast of Memphis Mommy reader and contributor Missy Monzo and her connection to a reader in need go here to watch how she rallied others to help a family in need she connected to through couponing! 

Have a very Merry Christmas and thanks for following Memphis Mommy and using the savings to help not only your own family but so many others, together we can really pay it forward to others here in the Mid-South!
