Save Simply, Give Freely

bucket project: a dollar or less

by Give Me Neither on March 15, 2010

Here’s this week’s The Bucket Project list. All the items on the list are $1 or less. Fill a bucket and bring it to your local charity. Just a little bit of money goes a long way.

If you’re not familiar with shopping at particular stores on the list, head over to the “Getting Started” tab at the top left side of the screen. If you still have questions, I’d love to try and answer them for you.
