Freebie week :)
A few days ago, our grocery shopper/delivery person delivered four three-packs of broiler pans at no extra charge--I'd ordered only one pack.
Then our favorite online purveyor of vitamins and gluten-free food sent us an extra bottle of vitamin C for free.
But the piece de resistance was one of my Pesach (Passover) orders. I'd ordered a five-pound package of white-flour matzah, two cans of plain coconut macaroons, and one can each of honey nut and chocolate chip macaroons. Imagine my surprise when I opened the shipping box and the macaroon cans just kept coming. I felt as if I'd opened the door to one of those overstuffed clown cars at a circus. The final tally: six cans of plain coconut macaroons and three cans each of honey nut and chocolate chip macaroons!
The irony is that I'm not even sure I can give the extras away, since both of the sederim we'll be attending will be Zoom seders. And I can't donate any macaroons to our synagogue to use for kiddush, either, since we're still holding services on Zoom instead of in our building. I guess we'll be eating macaroons for a good while.

You may be able to donate your extras to a local food bank. Or, the post office does a food drive in May--since the macaroons are canned, they should still be good.
Great idea!
