First Purchase

        Today I was shopping at the usual online stores when I remembered Goodshop.

When I signed up for an account, I chose to donate to the cause by searching for the Feeding

America Organization. Then, I began exploring the site. I was surprised that it offered numerous

coupons, especially from so many stores that I regularly shop at. Eventually, I came to an option

to use the coupon codes which would link your purchase to the donation. I also came upon the option

to click on a link that would take you to the homepage of that specific store. As you shop on the

store’s website,  your purchases would still be connected with Goodshop allowing you to easily

use your purchases to contribute to your donation through the Goodshop.

    

        Today I bought some black sweatpants from Kohls and 2 percent of my purchase went

towards the Feeding America organization. I will be honest, it was a little underwhelming at first

since it was only 2 percent. However, I realized that this was only the first day I really tried it out

and over time it will accumulate! All that was important was that I made an impact, even if it was

small. The only thing I had left to do was wait for my purchase. Today I left my online shopping

spree feeling good, not like I wasted my money like I usually do, but instead, I knew that my

purchase went towards something good and it helped others even if it was just a little bit.
