Last Wednesday I wrote….errrrr…vented about frustrating garage sale group postings. Sometimes when they get constant it does get annoying, but
mostly it was meant to be comedic. Last night while scrolling through my local
yard sale groups looking for junk I probably don’t need, I came across a type
of post that I had forgotten all about during my rant last week. There is no
comedy when it comes to this topic as it absolutely burns the piss out of me!
Pardon my French, I keep my blog entries clean and professional but not this
time.
Selling infant formula samples and coupons.
BURNS THE PISS OUT OF ME!!!! PATHETIC AND LOW!!
These are FREE samples and coupons (sometimes company
checks) that the formula companies send out to families for FREE. Sometimes the
companies’ mail out to households using a different brand, or perhaps
breastfeeding worked out perfectly for the family and there is just no need for
them. Regardless of the reason for receiving these FREE items, if you do not
need them donate them to a food pantry or just list them as free. All yard sale
postings are first come, first dibs and first pickup. No excuse or explanation
is good enough for trying to make a buck off of struggling parents. Not
everyone qualifies for WIC and formula can add up fast, especially if your baby
needs a specialty formula.
Don’t be a greedy pathetic low life. Find some junk in your
closet to sell if you really need to generate some cash. The cans even state “SAMPLE
Not to be sold” on them. I’m sure they mean for them not to be sold. If there
are a lot of people getting in the virtual line that means that there is a lot
of people in need. Don’t whine about a high demand item being time consuming.
Why list it then? Anything posted is first come first serve and pickup.
Do you even know how to yard sale bro?
Oh, I know why. So you could exploit parents in need so you
could get a buck. DONATE it and there will be no hassle. Wow, that was easy wasn’t
it!
Whew! <sigh> Just don’t do this. There are people out
there watching.
God Bless….it’s hump day!
