There are ways to brighten ones day without spending any money. It's nice to pay forward in the coffee line, but not everybody has that kind of money.
One day I was on Winco. I saw a middle aged guy buying his groceries . It was clear to me that he was counting his purchases to be sure he had enough money. Been there, dome that. I saw that he had two cans of progresso soup right off the top. I asked him how many cans he had. He said two. I had a coupon that made it so that for the same amount of money, he could have three. I gave it to hm. No big deal. He said thank you, I said you're welcome and went on, He ran onto me in the other part of the store and thanked me again, I made his day, It made me feel good and I'm sure that an extra meal for him didn't hurt.
I do that often, sometimes someone will look at me like I have rocks in my head, but the majority of the time they thank me. Why wouldn't anyone appreciate getting a buck off something they were going to buy anyway,
One time years ago, I had all three kids at home, I was buying groceries at Albertsons, A lady stopped me and handed me a coupon for a free milk if you spent fifty dollars. She said she wasn't going to spend that much, but it looked like I was based on the size of my Cart! That was over two bucks! Made my Day!
You can offer to return a cart when someone was through with it and you were going towards the store.
Or tell someone if they had a flat tire or left their lights on.
We take our good clean brown paper bags to the food bank.
We take our ragged towels to the animal rescue.
It's just a state of mind. Random acts of kindness help both parties studies show.
