ugh! food in the wheelie bin, no thankyou

I would have been very grateful for the food and put it to good use! I would consider it was my lucky day!

Oddest item I’ve ever found in a bin was an old sports bag and four kittens plus mom cat!!!!
I’m guessing the previous owner knew I was a vet nurse and had no idea what else to do with them, I guess due to lack of funds.
The queen was quite poorly but after treatment was fine. The kittens were 3-4 weeks old.

I doubt they had come from a food bank as the recipient could just have said they were not things they liked & got something else. I suspect someone left or dropped them & someone put them in the nearest bin.

I wonder if someone had dropped it on the street and aomeone else had tidied it away intonthe bin?

Food bank IMO

Davida1968 Fri 18-Oct-19 10:48:35

I wonder if they were leaving them for someone else and simply got the wrong bin?

Nope never had that happen , and yes giving it to the food bank is great that’s what I would do

Santa lives !!?

Any possibility that the bag might have been put there deliberately by a well-meaning neighbour who thought you might be in need, BlueBell?
I can't remember from previous posts what your personal circumstances are, so my suggestion could be way off mark grin

Yes I m sure it’s as simple as that?it will go back to the food collection at Asda when I go over

It sounds like " food bank " stuff to me.

Nothing as random as that Bluebelle. Perhaps it’s the stuff the person was given by the food bank which they didn’t like or didn’t know how to cook. In which case they may get it again next visit!

Yesterday was my bin day so this morning I went to fetch my bin in as I pulled it over the step it didn’t feel as empty as I expected so I opened the lid Inside was a Poundland carrier bag and inside the bag was a packet of Asda Grains and granola, a tin of Tesco tomatoes, a tin of Tesco chickpeas and a packet of Tesco fuseli All unopened all in date
Now what’s the story did someone nick them and have a conscience or did they steal a bag off someone and leave the things they didn’t like behind or had they been given them and didn’t like them but didn’t want to refuse and offend the giver
They can now go to the food bank and I ll never know
What do you think the story is and has anything random happened to you lately?
