The Clever Way This Woolworths Shopper Used Rewards Points to Give Back To Others Will Make Your Heart Melt!

We're pretty sure there's not a single one of us who hasn't discovered that we have an excess of something — maybe it's an item of clothing we haven't worn in ages or some spare change lying around our house that we no longer have any use for.
Whenever we come across any unused or extra items in our possession, one of two things usually happens: either we decide to put them to good use or we just forget about them altogether.
And while a lot of us run into this problem at home, it seems that one Woolworths shopper ran into this same issue but on a much broader scale.
Posting on Facebook, the South Australian woman revealed that she had discovered a much better way to put her extra Woolworths tableware credits to good use rather than just letting them go to waste.
'Today, I used my 250 tableware credits to obtain bowls and plates, which I then donated to charity,' she wrote in her post.
'Much better than not utilising it at all, and it felt really great to help those less fortunate.'
According to the woman, she accumulated six sets of plates and bowls, which have a retail value of $250, thanks to her purchases accumulated through the Everyday Rewards points system.
The post was praised by thousands of users who praised the woman for being thoughtful of others.
'Such a beautiful gesture. It really does feel good to do nice things for others,' one user wrote in the comments.
Others expressed that reading about the good deed inspired them to donate their points or redeem their items so they could help people in need as well.
'I only have enough to redeem a few items and don't need one more plate, bowl, glassware or cutlery as I have enough,' one user wrote in the comments.
'Seeing this, I will donate, too. Thank you!'
Another said: 'I donated all mine to charity too.'
'I've been saving up what I've collected to do the same. I have no use for them, so surely there is someone very deserving out there that can make use of them,' a third added.
The Woolworths Everyday Rewards point system allows customers to accumulate points by shopping at Woolworths, Big W, Dan Murphy's, Cellar Direct, ALDI, Liquor Store, or IGA stores. They can then redeem those points for rewards such as gift cards or special offers on selected products.
The tableware promotion, which offers Everyday Rewards members one credit for every $20 spent at Woolworths and Big W Everyday Rewards, ends on January 31, 2022.
Australia is still the ‘lucky country’, but with the recent cost of living crisis, more Aussies than ever are doing it tough.
When it comes to giving back, there are plenty of ways to help those in need and make a difference. If you don’t have any money to spare - how about some time? We’ve written about volunteering in the past - you can read more about it here.

The idea of giving up your hard-earned rewards points to help others does seem rewarding in and of itself. We can't wait to see what others will continue to do for the betterment of those in need!
