I have had a very similar experience shopping for a relative of mine. She’s just lost her job, is always pleading poverty (on Facebook) and is self isolating as her DS has symptoms. I arranged an online shop to be delivered, just a few essentials and treats I know her and her son like. A lot of it was subbed but it was still generally a good haul. A few fruit and veg, cereal, pasta (yes pasta), wine, chocs etc... and a kids magazine. She messaged me to say next time can you just get me a voucher so i can choose what I want? The whole point is she is self isolating and doesn’t have a delivery pass so wouldn’t have had any food otherwise. I wasn’t doing it for the self virtue. I didn’t even post it on social media 😀 I just love her and she’s my family and I didn’t want her to starve! I didn’t tell her it was coming as she would have given me a list as long as my arm and it would have gotten very expensive for me.



She also got a local volunteer led food box and was moaning that the contents are horrible and she won’t eat any of it all.



I won’t bother again.
