4. My mail carrier left two yellow bags.

I went to Dollar Tree and filled them both. A lot of canned items with pop tops so no can opener needed (ravioli, spaghetti w/meatballs, molasses baked beans, Vienna sausages), boxes of crackers with tuna and chicken salad, fruit cups, Jello cups, big bottles of flavored water with electrolytes, bags of beef jerky pieces, etc...). It all came to about $38.00.

l don't really have extra money to throw around, but I'm not homeless or going hungry and I feel for those who are.

The bags are pretty heavy, so I reinforced each yellow food drive bag with two Dollar Tree plastic bags from the purchase so that hopefully they won't rip.
I'll need to do something nice for the mail carrier, as she's surely going to get a workout tomorrow.
