Sometimes I have to go to the fucking food bank- I guess you could say I'm shopping less

I guess that is kinda like shopping but sad?

With all the food bank demand I wonder when companies will try and get in on it (like walmart and thrift stores)? Maybe they will make you watch ads while waiting in line? (For you to spend your non existent money on?)

We call it microshopping.

If you watch this ad and click on which of these images looks like a semaphore you get 100 grams of rice!
