[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Don't most of the recipients also receive food stamps?

Apart from that, Betty crocker icing tubs are sold at Dollar Tree for $1.25.[/quote]

Not always. And that would be a great idea for a donation. If I had to get to a Dollar Tree that means a minimum of $4 for bus fares plus the price of the icing. It would be really thoughtful if someone would donate both.

Are we really pretending people who travel to food banks don’t travel other places? Or walk? Or that they don’t have EGGS? Really? This is so obtuse, seriously. You think it’s that big a hardship to get to Dollar Tree? You’re insane. And yes, OP, uneducated or willfully ignorant. [/quote]

I’m also on a budget. And I don’t drive. So, yes, traveling to multiple places has to be balanced against the rest of my budget. I also have to limit what I can physically carry on any one trip. I’m not “pretending “. 
I have no idea what you may or may not be doing.
