"Two For a Dollar"

Wednesday

Companies must hate having to dump this food, not just since it's good stuff, but it means some big chunks of change that they miss out on.  Take the kiwi that we got today.  There was a pallet of 120 boxes of 65 count golden kiwi.  We could only fit 30? today, and we are hoping to pick up more tomorrow.  We put about 6 in every bag, but we had so much that we simply gave a whole box to anyone who expressed interest in the kiwi and thought they could use that much.  One lady got out of her car and said "Oh, no!  Don't tell me."  She had just bought kiwi in the store.  Just for fun we asked her how much she paid.  Remembering that stores have to make a profit, they would probably pay minimum $20 for a box.  If we put half of that in the bags and gave half away in boxes, then we likely gave away $300 worth of kiwi just in the boxes, which is probably more than we made for the whole day.  Kind of interesting to run the numbers.
