Back in the olden days - 1950's - I remember friends/neighbors having pot luck dinners. One person, or couple, would prepare macaroni & cheese or chili, another a vegetable, a salad, or a dessert, etc.
It's a way to get a balanced meal for all and enjoy each other.
We might play penny-ante poker afterwards.
One of my favorite memories is making a roaster pan of popcorn, a pitcherful of koolaid - after we mother's had come up with $1.00 - the price of a station wagon full of kids and adults for a drive-in movie.
One dollar was not a pittance back then.

A while back KFC had a buy-one-get-one-free bucket of chicken deal. I only needed 3 pieces for my family but I’d buy the bucket, get one free, take out the three pieces I wanted, then I went to the local park where homeless people hang out and leave it. They got it while it was still hot!
It just seemed a shame not to take KFC up on the deal and help others out at the same time.

That is working in the ministry. Though, it should apply today for all.

We rarely find large cans of food that aren’t dented in Sam’s. We quit buying there, anyway, because of all of those phony “fair trade” signs on products with jacked-up prices (products that have nothing to do with trade exchanges or tariffs).

I AGREE!
Now, how about you fine specimens take that sign up in the mountains and read it loud and proud to the bears. ;)
To: Lorianne
Or, if you were on hard times yourself, you could freeze the rest to eat later... (
AKA "leftovers"...)
Apparently, you or your folks didn't have to survive through the Great Depression; that experience imprinted a different outlook on frugality...

I’ve seen whole citrus groves of perfectly good fruit left to drop and rot because it wasn’t the “right” size, meaning too big. And no one could pick up a single orange for fear of arrest for theft.
Waste? Most don’t know a fraction of what takes place.

Great fellowship!
I agree! We have a Bible study twice a month at someone’s home. Each couple brings food. We are always trying new things and each time the menu is really varied. There are no leftovers!
To: Libloather
I have no problem with utilizing food that is being destroyed for no good reason. But do you have permission to be on the private property of these distributors, or are you trespassing?
It's not like FReepers to do the latter -- FReepers generally believe strongly in respecting private property.

It breaks my heart to see what is going on in my own little town.
My husband and I look for work around our home for out-of-work people. So far, we'e gotten beautiful custom valances, new cabinets and countertops in our laundry room, and a lot of odd jobs around the house done that we really needed help on.
We were born into the Great Depression and know how such situations are both degrading and humiliating. What makes me extremely angry is that it was all avoidable - then and now.

Yes, these friends are very important to my sanity! LOL
And we have learned to moderate so as to not have to much left over. And they have learned to expect me to experiment on them occasionally. But they made me promise; "no more three onion pie". google it ;^)

Sorry, at first I thought this was sarcasm, now I realize it was not. Soon we may all be doing the same.

Good on you. I could do the same in a small way but none have asked. Mine would be brush busting and fence work.

I looked up the recipe and reviews and it must be delicious. I have never had it. Think I should try it for the group?
To: Lizavetta
As an aside, years ago you could get out of date daily products free if you went to the warehouses. They stopped however because of some legal difficulties. I believe they are used for hog feed now.
