The stuff for the community pantry got delivered and there looks to be a decent amount of food there (even though Woolies is still an absolute rip). I picked a rare $2 delivery slot and deliberately shopped generic basics, things that would really fill you up and stretch a dollar, all the things my broken stomach can’t eat… (jealous)

Looks good though. I didn’t get boxed cereal because I thought the bags of quick oats would give more bang for a buck. Should be ok for a kids breakfast with cinnamon and apple…

I overspent my limit a bit and won’t get this much next time, this was just for Christmas. I won’t be able to afford this regularly. But maybe next time I might get some cheap spice sachets. Like cinnamon and Italian herbs. And maybe some tinned apple or jars of apple sauce

I know I’m not really relevant to this at all, but thanks Melba. You’re a good egg, and I’m sure you’ve made a lot of people happy, or at the very least made their Christmas and new year time a bit easier

  Thanks.
  
  Just kinda trying to shake myself out of hating humanity and feeling like shit.
  
  I timed it wrong so the place might not be open but it’s possible people will need this stuff more afterwards, when the Xmas donations have dried up

    I would cheerfully sell most of the people around me for a corn chip.
    
    This is very much to manage my own mental health and occupy my mind/time so I don’t do anything destructive

  I think I got them in too late too… someone on this block has huge plants already fruiting. But then they were able to grow in ground.
  
  At least my weird randomly staggered planting might extend the season

    Nah they go ages yet. Melbourne has a wonderfully long growing season
