OC Grad turns $200 to $10,000

Carli Amlin Dean,'99 OC Graduate in Organizational and Speech Communications and proud member of Sigma Alpha Tau Sorority, has helped develop a volunteer organization that is changing the way food pantries are being stocked!  In just 6 short months time Carli’s organization, ClipShopShare, has donated over $10,000 of groceries, toiletries, paper goods, school supplies and more…for less than $200 out-of-pocket. ClipShopShare is a volunteer group of local professionals that donate their time to stock local food pantries, shelters, etc. with the use of weekly drug and grocery store sales and the pairing of these with coupons.  Co-founder, Carli Amlin Dean works daily on PR/Advertising/Marketing and Administration thanks to her educational background at Otterbein College.

In addition to helping their neighbors in need, ClipShopShare also offer a once-a-month FREE Coupon Coaching Session.  They teach how to use coupons to reduce your weekly grocery budget while also learning how to conservatively create a small stockpile.  Currently the class is the 1st Wednesday of the month at Ginghamsburg Church at 7 p.m. Please check the website for location of class and directions at www.ClipShopShare.com


Follow www.ClipShopShare.com and the Facebook page Clip, Shop, Share for daily deals posted about items for FREE, coupons to print, ways to reduce your budget, sales at local grocery and drug stores, and of course…the successful shopping and donations made for the week on behalf of ClipShopShare.
