Tuesday’s Treat – Help Stamp Out Hunger!

Okay, so usually Tuesday’s Treat is something fun and frugal but this week’s “treat” is something you can do to help others!

This Saturday, May 8th, is the Stamp Out Hunger food drive.  All you have to do is leave a bag of non-perishables by your mailbox and your letter carrier will pick it up and deliver it to a local food bank.

The website says canned vegetables, fruits, meats, juice & soups and boxed pastas, cereals and rice.  No expired items and nothing in glass jars.  I’m thinking if there is a chance of rain in your area on Saturday, I’d steer clear of anything in a box.

That’s it.  Easy as pie!  Just put your stuff in a bag and leave it by your mailbox. And since we are all “frugal” you surely have some stuff in your stockpile that you can spare for those in need.  I was able to get cans of tomato soup at 9c/2 at Winn-Dixie this weekend.  We don’t eat tomato soup but I knew at less than 5c a can it would be a good donate item.  I also have a surplus of canned mandarin oranges and canned tuna.  So we will be donating some of those too.

Getting to help others can be a treat!
