I love feeding people and I think it is a compliment when people want to take home leftovers.  I also think that I don't know how to make small amounts of food.  My table is always overflowing with food thanks to God's grace.   It is a blessing to have guests and have the wherewithal to feed them and send them home with a care package.  I think it is lovely and heartwarming. [/quote]

I love how clueless and careless you are about the fact that so many people have been fired, or furloughed, and that grocery prices have skyrocketed. [/quote]

Oh, so this is a poor people vent?   Maybe the family members with jobs should be more generous and make more food to feed their relatives?  Else, OP should speak up and not host TG, right?  Let others know that she has been fired/furloughed and cannot afford extra food because grocery prices have skyrocketed.

There are other options too  - cooking from scratch, having a vegetarian TG, asking family to chip in.... I mean why make excuses when you are low class and mind people packing TG leftovers?[/quote]

These people literally bring their own Tupperware to take food without asking from multi-day hosts…and that’s not low class? [/quote]

Are you mad at food insecure people not being classy enough?[/quote]

OP said they have plenty of money. [/quote]

Now but what about before? The scarcity mindset is real. Bit OP would rather get pissy about 4 day old mashed potatoes.[/quote]

Well to be fair, the mashed potatoes are only 4 days old bc ILs boxed them up to take home rather than let everyone eat them the next day.  Don't you find that weird???  [/quote]

How big was that box? Just make more potatoes. It’s the cheapest thing.[/quote]
