From Florida-
Until this year, Brook Cole tossed only an occasional canned good into her church's food pantry for the poor. Then she began to collect coupons, and all that changed.
The 33-year-old wife and mother of three children said she stripped her family's food bill with the use of coupons, paying only about a fifth of the $250 weekly cost out of her own pocket.
She spends about an hour a day collecting coupons, strategizing how to best use them and what foods her family needs.
But coupon collectors like Cole don't stop there.
Now she gives "tons" of food and other goods to organizations like Interfaith Emergency Services or her church to help feed the ever-growing number of people without work and worrying how they will feed themselves and their families.
"We're able to bless way more than we did before," Cole said.
