Hello Mem, I loved seeing the roses you got in this hamper. Sometimes we need that “food” for our heart and soul.❤ The pantry ladies are fabulous! I was excited to see that this was a hamper haul as you always get more food and a larger variety of foods. I know you will enjoy being able to cook up a few different meals for your family. And somehow fresh vegetables make food taste better and stretch a little farther. Take care❤Cathe

Lovely box. The flowers are such a sweet gift. So many yummy meals to make. Sadly our big food bank had to stop for a week to replace food. People seem to forget in the summer to donate . But our school system still provides a week of breakfast and lunch food for any students in need. You pick up once a week. I love this as an educator who always taught children in need. It also employs some of our cafeteria works year round.

It's wonderful that your school system steps in to support students with meals during the summer. That is such a great initiative!

A very nice haul of items to feed your family! I'm in Idaho, USA and we enjoy Beyond Burger and Impossible Burger once in awhile. We aren't vegetarians, but view non-meat products as a change of pace -- when we can afford them. Unfortunately, with inflation the way it is, non-meat burgers are often more expensive than real meat so we only buy them when we get a very good sale or a markdown. The other brands of non-meat products you got don't look like products I've ever seen here in the U.S.

Thank you so much. That's interesting to hear, it's a bit like that here too with those type of burgers at the supermarket as well. I had heard lots of positive reviews about the Beyond Burgers but never tried them, was nice to get a chance to taste them. We thought that they were pretty good.

@@catherinebarlow3079 It is strange, because "vegetarian" doesn't mean a cost savings here any longer. A pack of two Beyond or Impossible Burgers (8 oz./226 gms.) retails for $6.99 here -- $14 a pound! Even on sale this week they are $8 a pound. They are apparently slaughtering cows again so they don't have to feed them, because 80 percent ground beef prices dropped to $2.88 to $3.49 a pound for Independence Day sales. The pricey 93 percent sirloin "only" sells for about $8.99 retail. We can even get more expensive ground bison for $8.99 to $9.99 a pound (a treat we can no longer afford), but still $6 a pound less than "fake meat." We try not to pay more than $4.99 a pound on sale for any ground meat, but that is only on discount or sale.

We get about this much every week, but we get more produce and we don't get any meat. We pay $35 and it's delivered. If I went in to pick it up I could get meat, but because of food safety issues the delivered hampers don't get meat or fresh dairy. They are such a godsend, I have limited mobility thanks to fibro and arthritis, so buses are out of the question, and I'm visually impaired so i can't drive. I live with my son and dil who are both autistic, they find dealing with people incredibly challenging. We usually end up giving a bag full of food to our friend and neighbour, since between us we have a lot of allergies, intolerances and sensory issues. Even so, it is still a huge help. We eat so many veggies all the time, simply because that's what we get the most of. These days if I do a recipe, I cut the meat in half and double or triple the veg. We also chop and freeze anything that looks like it's starting to go dodgy lol. Yesterday we got 3 large punnets of berries and 3 bags of green beans, so I chopped most of them up and froze them. We also recently found a place online that sells tvp in bulk (dried vegan mince), so we've been using that to replace mince. Oh, add some steamed diced cauliflower to your mac and cheese! It will stretch it further and make it healthier. It's delicious.

Hi Bronwyn😊 To see if you qualify for assistance from a food bank in Victoria, you can typically reach out directly to the food bank or check their website for eligibility criteria. Many food banks base eligibility on income levels or specific circumstances. They usually provide clear guidelines on who can access their services and how to apply. It's worth contacting them directly to get personalized information and support tailored to your situation. To find a food bank near you, try clicking the "Find Food" button on www.foodbank.org.au or try secondbite.org/food-finder/ and www.ozharvest.org/food/receive-food-individuals/ Hope that helps. Thanks so much for watching💕
