Sharing the Savings

If competitive shopping were an Olympic sport, Heather Shoote could easily snag the gold medal in couponing.

Heather, was recently using her savings skills to the utmost by combining black Friday and cyber Monday deals with coupons and rebates to save big for her family.

While shopping at Fred Meyer one evening, she was working the deals with her cashier as she checked out when she felt a wave of stress coming from the woman behind her in line.

“You could tell that she was concerned about paying for her purchases even though there weren’t many items in her cart,” Heather said.

So Heather did what any caring person might, but only a true savings specialist could – she pulled out a multi-day coupon and gave it to the woman to help her save some money too.

“The woman was so excited that she hugged me right there in line. The cashier teared up watching us.”

It is easy to make someone’s day and help out the way PeaceHealth caregivers do each day, no matter where you might be – just notice them and help in whatever way you can.
