The guy at the food bank who said 'let me show you how to make this last' changed my whole approach to donations.

He took a single bag of rice and showed me three different meals you could stretch out of it, and now I always ask the volunteers how they'd use what I'm donating before I drop it off.

Whoa wait, hold up. You mean that guy actually showed you how to stretch a single bag of rice into three separate meals right there on the spot? That's wild, I've never thought about asking the volunteers for their tips like that. Honestly it makes so much sense though, like they're the ones who know exactly what stuff people actually need and how to make it go further.

Hold up, it's just rice. You can stretch a bag of rice into three meals without a degree in nutrition. People act like this guy unlocked some ancient secret when all he did was add a few more veggies and maybe some beans.
