well written blog.... I agree that getting free staple items that can supply a family for a long time is a good idea but some of these people take it too far. My questions is.... How much food are they throwing away? Some of them claim to be donating but I would really like to see them drop it off. I would like to see a local food pantry benefit from this. Otherwise it is still &quot;excess&quot; and whether you pay for it or not.... &quot;excess&quot; is still defined as ...&quot;a going beyond what is regarded as customary or proper&quot; If any of these &quot;extreme couponers&quot; read this .... please donate what you dont need and spread the wealth. It may help a family in need.
