This morning I made my second food bank drop off for the Penny Experiment. The volunteers there are so friendly and helpful. They always offer kind words and encouragement and praise for my big helper- my two year old son Jackson. I love having him help me with this project and being able to teach him about giving to those less fortunate than ourselves.
Our drop off today was not weighed but they guesstimated it to be around 60 lbs and included: 15 boxes of fruit snacks, 2 jars of spaghetti sauce, 10 cans of tuna fish, 1 bottle of vanilla coffee creamer, 20 cans of frozen juice, 3 cans of sloppy joe sauce, 2 jars of peanut butter, a bag of Tyson Grilled & Ready frozen chicken and 12 4-packs of various yogurt products which I purchased for only $15.01 (and earned catalina coupons for $13.50 off my next purchase!!)
Follow me as I contribute to donating a million dollars worth of food to local food banks with my participation in The Penny Experiment!
To date I have purchased $263.01 worth of food for the food bank for only $34.74 plus $13.50 towards my next purchase!!
