Oftentimes when I've participated in a sponsored 5K event I leave with a "goodie bag" including items from coupons for local shops to miniature hand sanitizer bottles & travel size Band-Aid containers. Then there are the times food items are included as well. Perhaps a snack-size portion of pretzels, maybe a single-portion plastic container of fruit in its own juice. On occasion protein bars are also included.Depending on the frequency of my participating in a 5K event, sometimes I get overloaded & end up with too many of any of these items on hand. Conveniently, in the past few years especially, Mom has taken to eating various protein bars for a snack or a meal. I can't remember a time when Mom didn't make use of a coupon for fruit containers; they're something she's used for a quick "something" for quite some time.
Therefore, it's only been an obvious way to fully make use of my goodie bag, especially when I've too many on hand of any given item, to pass along to Mom the extras. Pitching things isn't our style & by passing along these things to Mom when they come along means she'll likely pass along to me something I can use, like a one-item store discount coupon on something I need.
