This is an awesome idea! I'll earmark $100 for that out of mine. Maybe 10 $10 gift cards to Publix and bring all 10 to a food pantry, to give out to those hardest hit by poverty. That doesn't sound like much to most of you but...
You get a jar of spaghetti sauce on sale, a BOGO of spaghetti (at $1.49 total for 2 pounds), half a pound of ground chuck, and salad greens - assuming the household has oil and vinegar in the pantry...
That's dinner for 4, for 2 nights. There's likely to be enough left over from that $10 for 4 bananas - fry those up with some brown sugar and butter, and call it dessert.
