I love Amazon.com. I love getting packages in the mail without having to go to a store. It's easy.
I was shopping in Kohls, looking for a toaster. I was appalled at the prices at Kohl's (despite the fact that nearly everything is on sale, almost always) so I used my phone to check prices on the same model at www.amazon.com.
I found a much better price and purchased the toaster before I even stepped foot out of the store. I loved my phone, and amazon even more after that experience. The best part was having my new, better priced toaster arrive the very next day.
Amazon has a new program called: AmazonSmile. If you have an Amazon.com account, you connect your favorite charity. Amazon automatically donates a portion of your sale to your charity of choice.
What an easy way to give.
Begin here:

Click the GET STARTED yellow bullet. Sign in to your account. Click your charity. And you are SET!
If you don't have a favorite local charity, may I please suggest:
Suicide Prevention Services in Batavia, Illinois. www.spsamerica.org
Here is a quick link to make SPS your charity of choice: http://smile.amazon.com/ch/36-4211306
What a great, easy way to give.
It's nice to know efforts are two-fold- my family gets great presents and my favorite charity gets a donation, too.
Stay tuned for our next SPS event in Yorkville! Our Santa Shuffle on December 7th. www.santashuffle.org
