A sack of rice is versatile, loads of stuff you can mix it with to bulk out a meal

A fishing licence and a hunting tag, you never have to buy food ever again
People need to be educated better.
To boil 2 litres of water for cooking pasta for a whole family will cost about 10p with electricity, less with gas.

When I was in Canada I didn't see any wildlife at all. From Montreal to Buffalo over the border.

Aye, quite possibly but if you've fuck all left in your prepayment card then there's not much that can be done.

The soup kitchen on High Street gets stuff donated as well. They also grow a lot of their own veg.
Trouble is I don't imagine you can put 10p on the card if that's what you had.
What's the minimum you can put on one of these cards?

Yeah it's good but you wouldn't have to just live on that. Like we said before making a dhal would be cheap as well. I've only got 35p in my kitty anywayA sack of rice is versatile, loads of stuff you can mix it with to bulk out a mealLogon or register to see this image

Just two affordable food initiatives for anyone who is struggling. I have some of my clients enjoying them. Really useful for people who don’t have much. The top one is great as you get to choose what you want and should really last you the week. Lots of fresh veg and then you get a pick of pasta, rice etc. all good gear and it’s all donated by supermarkets.
See my post. Educate yourself

Well it’s not really us and rarely the shops wasting the food these days. It’s the factories, processing plants and growers that are wasting it. I think we’re living in times where people are really appreciating the fact that it’s a precious commodityGood stuff, food waste is a disgrace.

I’ve seen loads on the 401, you’ll likely have taken that way unless you went via Ottawa.
Dusk and dawn are the dangerous times with them, you won’t see them until the last minute, they know their predators try and avoid the roads too so it’s generally. Time of the year matters also
