So, I spoke to people getting food at a food bank and here are some things I learned from those in need:
1. Everyone donates Kraft Mac and Cheese in the box. They can rarely use it because it needs milk and butter which is hard to get from regular food banks.
2. Boxed milk is a treasure, as kids need it for cereal which they also get a lot of.
3. Everyone donates pasta sauce and spaghetti noodles.
4. They cannot eat all the awesome canned veggies and soup unless you put a can opener in too or buy pop tops.
5. Oil is a luxury but needed for Rice a-Roni which they also get a lot of.
6. Spices or salt and pepper would be a real Christmas gift.
7. Tea bags and coffee make them feel like you care.
8. Sugar and flour are treats.
9. They fawn over fresh produce donated by farmers and grocery stores.
10. Seeds are cool in Spring and Summer because growing can be easy for some.
11. They rarely get fresh meat.
12. Tuna and crackers make a good lunch.
13. Hamburger Helper goes nowhere without ground beef.
14. They get lots of peanut butter and jelly but usually not sandwich bread.
15. Butter or margarine is nice too.
16. Eggs are a real commodity.
17. Cake mix and frosting makes it possible to make a child’s birthday cake.
18. Dishwashing detergent is very expensive and is always appreciated.
19. Feminine hygiene products are a luxury and women will cry over that.
20. Everyone loves Stove Top Stuffing.
In all the years I have donated food at the Holidays, I bought what I thought they wanted, but have never asked. I am glad I did. If you are helping a Family this Christmas, maybe this can help you tailor it more. It does for me!

Target says it will close nine stores in four states because of theft. But the retail rate of shrink remains similar to what it was in 2019, and nearly two-thirds of all shrink comes from employee theft, damaged goods and inventory tracking mistakes.

BREAKING: CNN is humiliated as California Governor Gavin Newsom gives a brilliant response to a gotcha question about President Biden’s age.
It all started when CNN host Dana Bash accused Newsom of “downplaying concerns” about Biden’s age — and then asked Newsom if voters should be concerned that “President Biden will be 86 by the end of his second term if he gets reelected.”
Newsom responded perfectly, taking a shot at Trump, “With all due respect, we tried a celebrity for four years — and it didn’t go very well.”
Newsom continued, “I want a seasoned pro that knows how to get things done. I’m a little old-fashioned. I want a guy who produces results — and the results for Biden are in, and it’s been an absolute masterclass.
There’s simply no administration in my lifetime that’s been more effective and produced more substantive results for the American people.”
VERY well said, Governor Newsom! Trump might be a bit younger, but he was in unmitigated disaster for America — while President Biden has done a great job in the face of unprecedented opposition.
Age is nothing but a number.
Please retweet and ❤️ to thank Governor Newsom for setting CNN straight — and consider joining the growing exodus to Tribel, a woke new Twitter competitor that banned Trump for life and is exploding in popularity because Elon Musk banned Tribel’s Twitter account — but he forgot to ban this link to download the new Tribel app: tribel.app.link/okwPIHYCIqb

BOOM: Eminem just destroyed MAGA supporters stating what in the hell would middle-class white people have in common with a billionaire who has never seen struggle in his life. Who else agrees with Eminem I sure do?✋🏽

It’s time for the greedy Hollywood studios to pay SAG-AFTRA and WGA members what they’re worth.

An elite, white majority determining after just 50 years of weak, half-hearted
affirmative action efforts, that they are the ones to decide that enough has been done to address centuries of explicit racial exclusion against Black people is the most American ruling ever.
What a ##### at the @LouisianaOMV in New Orleans. I’ve lived in multiple states and never dealt with someone as rude as this employee at a license branch.
Hey @JeffParishGov St. Patrick’s Day was Friday. It’s idiotic to do a parade and block off of major street after the holiday.

If you want Hunter Biden—a private citizen who has never worked for the U.S. gov’t—investigated, but don’t want Jared or Ivanka investigated for “earning” $640 million while in the WH and then getting $2 billion from Saudi Arabia, you are a hypocrite conducting a witch hunt.
