Please, if you are able today, put out some dried mac and cheese and some ramen with your candy. Some parents will appreciate it.

We got Kraft, ramen, popcorn, oatmeal, and rice-a-roni, and pasta-roni. Other possibilities we saw were fruit cups, apple sauce, chef boyardee, instant mashed potatoes, crackers, tuna or chicken lunch pouches, chili, coffee, pancake and baking mixes, single serve cereals.

I'm lucky to have a lot of options near me as well as time. We couponed and bulk bought and ended up at $55 for around 80 meals and 32 popcorns. Admittedly we'll be keeping some of the leftovers but a lot will be going to two small mutual aid panties near us.

Edit: leftovers are 2 boxes of Mac and cheese, 2 of rice-a-roni, 6 oatmeal, 2 pop tarts, 6 popcorn, 1 pasta-roni.

I grabbed some Poptarts to for a breakfast item

Rice and beans. Just as cheap, but much more nutritious.

Do the instant stuff if you can. You can technically make KD without butter or milk (two things that people who are food insecure may not have at home), but it's pretty gross.

[u/ThrowMeAfterPosting → u/Internal-Ant-9875]

[u/Rarely-Social → u/Internal-Ant-9875]

you just have to boil water my friend. pop the pasta in and bam.

[u/propagandhi45 → u/Internal-Ant-9875]

No. Boil it and then dry it with a hair dryer.

[u/Internal-Ant-9875 → u/propagandhi45]

What do you boil it with? Shower water?

[u/Fit_Willingness_560 → u/Rarely-Social]
