This is what a 99 cent sale looks like

I wouldn't use that much flour and sugar in a lifetime.   Now, I would buy it and share it with a food pantry for sure!

Food grade buckets with gamma lids work really well for bulk storage too and you can leave the food in it's original packaging.

I LOVE the idea of sharing this with a food bank. What a wonderful idea.

The problem with many food banks (not busting on them just stating this) they have so many rules and regulations that must be met, it's very difficult to donate food.  They want money, not food.

I do bake, but not in the quantity to need to buy in that amount. Nor do I have storage room for that much. The Food Bank is a wonderful idea though.
