Has a message this morning from a lady who had given me the remains of her Christmas hampers at the beginning of the year.
"Did I know anyone who would use some out of date food - like packets of pasta, rice?" Needless to say, I do know someone.
The few packets of food turned into 2 carrier bags - and lots of the food was actually in date for 2022. Apparently, they'd stocked their cupboards at the start of the pandemic when it looked like food might be difficult to buy or shop for - and now, they were clearing it out!
Tins of tomatoes, soup, the inevitable tinned spaghetti and macaroni cheese, packets of microwavable rice and mixed grains, pasta in sauce, instant mash, noodles - so much emergency ration type food that I've run out of space in the kitchen cupboards to store it. Most of it I wouldn't actually buy, but as a standby when I can't afford the electricity to cook a meal, I'll be glad of it.
Also picked up a bag of books.
Nearly forgot, 4 cans of Malibu and Gin& tonic and a tiny bottle of some sort of Cream Liqueur.
