In reply to the discussion: Please don't forget thousands and thousands of your neighbors have lost their food stamps and are quietly starving [View all]Jack Valentino
(5,322 posts)47. My local "Dollar General" has signs calling out for canned food donations, so I'll give them a
'shout out' for that here..... and that many of their prices for food items
are now LESS than for the same type of things at Kroger---
which was always the lowest priced outlet by my experience,
prior to 'the pandemic'...
Tonight I saw the 'bucket' at my Dollar General where they were
attempting to 'collect' those canned-food donations,
and it was pathetically mostly empty......
I usually walk there every day, with an empty backback, to carry back whatever I buy...
I will try to put something into it on my way there, to donate....
