I was under the impression that most people just donate existing food that they have in their pantries instead of purposefully buying food to donate. I probably wouldn't directly donate unless I had a connection to the charity, but I would get rid of a couple of cans of corn that if I'm being honest will probably sit idle until they expire.
- dade_ 7y agoGrocery stores love them, they even make bundles of money, er... bundles of canned food for people to buy with their groceries and drop off in the donation bin when walking out the door.
- ASalazarMX 7y agoIf the store made sensible bundles that combine into meals, that'd actually be much better than donating whatever scraps you find in your pantry.
- cgriswald 7y agoIndeed. My process is buy cheaply -> put in pantry -> consume -> donate old stuff but before it expires.
- efa 7y agoCorrect. Or if I find a coupon getting canned item X for a nickel a piece I buy 50 of them for the foodbank.
