24/Savvy Family and Charity

You know when you open a large gift box and the first thing that comes to mind is "you shouldn't have" and what you really mean "you really, really shouldn't have, have you seen the size of my apartment?  What on EARTH do you think I'm going to do with a 20 pound commemorative reenactment of Scrooge's birth anew as a generous chap???"

Why So Savvy: According to statistics, the average meal out on the town in NYC is more than $40, an amount we're guilty of spending more often than we'd care to admit.  By foregoing that swank restaurant-prepped meal just once and serving up your own homemade goodness instead, the money saved could provide a delicious Thanksgiving meal to a family in need, courtesy of the unique "Box of Love" campaign sponsored by Here's Life Inner City.  In 2010, over 3,700 families received a "Box of Love" and this year?  Let's make it 4,000, shall we?  It's the savvy thing to do.
