Excess Goodies

[jakep]

Any ideas please. We have third of a tub of Celebrations, half a box of M&S biscuits etc. We would rather not eat any more but do not want to throw away.
Would it be ok to put bits in plastic zip lock bags for the food bank or is that not suitable?

Have you a care home nearby that you could taken them to & explain why you are taking them?

[rockyracoon]

As thoughtful as it is, I doubt they would take it. The foodstuff could have been tampered with (not suggesting that you would do that, but some odd bods might think it's funny).

Food banks are really really choosy on what they take. Strange but true ..... we tried to give our Harvest Festival produce to them but they would only take certain tinned goods.

Find some homeless people Jake....they will wolf them down !

[ummmm]

Would the birds be happy with the biscuits? The celebrations will last for ages.

'celebrations' have never reached their 'eat by' date in my house

Any young familys by you? Or young relations? Other than that, Mikey's suggestion is good.

Biscuits in any air tight container. Celebrations last long time. Ignore sell by date. Then you can eat them yourselves. No need to throw away!!

Save them for the birding, Jake.....you never know.....one of the group may just be a chocolate addict.........mentioning no names......but it's not Dave....... ;-)

Thank you all for the answers. Interesting to read about food bank rules but I can see it makes sense. I will take goodies to the volunteer centre where I do gardening - sorry gness!

Sigh.... :-(

That's good, Jake....glad they won't be wasted and will be appreciated.

At one of the apartments I rent for holidays a charming homeless man stays nearby. We give him the food and drink we've not used......he's chuffed and we get a hug.....x
