We must have posted at the same time Jo, but I agree with you about the food bank idea, trouble is we couldn't get any of the others to agree.

We tried $15-$20 price limit for many years, and in days gone by... we've even drawn the name of a family member out of the hat and just bought for that one person. It did work when we did it that way... but even that seems to have gone by the board as the years have gone by.
