Except the "money for nothin" part is completely false. Yesterday someone on my local Buy Nothing group offered up two big bags of food they didn't want, and I got picked for it!! Yay! Some of the food I got were things I planned on buying in the very near future too. Here's what I got:
4 lbs of whole wheat spaghetti
4 lbs dried pinto
3 lbs brown lentils
1 canned ham
3 cups or so of quick cook oats
1 lb egg noodles
1 lb corn rotini
2 5oz cans of tuna
2 cans of pork and beans
1 can cranberry sauce
1 can mixed veggies
2 cans tomato sauce
2 cans corn
1 can sweetened applesauce
1 can condensed clam chowder
1 can roast beef hash
1 can garbanzo beans
7 7oz cans and 2 14oz cans of wild Alaskan salmon
I gave 4 of the 3oz cans and 1 of the 14oz cans of salmon to a coworker since I am the only one in my house that likes it. This still must be over $50 worth of food. Score!
Friday night I used a gift certificate from my boss to get a sandwich, brownie, and hot spiced cider from a coffee shop near my job while I waited for Winter to finish at art class. I used $14.25 and have $5.75 left. I also gave the barista a $1 tip for the drink. No money spent yesterday (aside from the tip) but lots of food acquired.
Breakfast: honey peach flavored Greek yogurt
Lunch: leftover pasta with spaghetti sauce, clementine, apple
Dinner: herbed chicken sandwich with roasted red peppers and spinach on sourdough
Snacks/desserts: frosted brownie
Beverages: water, hot spiced cider
