Buying extra for the food bank.

June 8th, 2011 at 07:03 pm

I did my grocery shopping yesterday. I am trying to buy a lot of extra food for the food bank. The Post office is doing a food drive for them on June 17th. There are so many people out of work around this area. Just today I noticed that a pet store that has been here forever is closed and empty.
Most of the work is construction and there is just nothing going on. It is even hard to get materials. My dh tried to order some hardwood flooring two weeks ago and was told yesterday that they can't get it for another two weeks. He is going to have to pay more and get it at home depot.
I saved $7 using my Ingles card yesterday and the braves won, so $8 gets added to the challenge money.

Prev. total $10,171.00
today 8.00
new total $10,179.00

    I too have seen several places that have been around forever closed. I sure hope things turn around soon. My ex has to drive to buckhead to get any work.

    Our postal service does one of those in May. I put out a bag of food and was rather sad to have been the only one. Frown

    PNW Mom: me too!! I live in a condo where there are 40+ units. Every year we're the only unit to participate. DH said he saw another bag out there, so I hope he was right. I coupon shop, so I put out a TON of stuff. I just wish others could donate even one item - it would make a difference. We didn't even see donations while we were out yardsaling like we usually do. So sad.
