Perhaps he bought all this when he had more money than he has now.
Perhaps he needs the fifteen dollars now and he is selling things he
can spare. I hope he will find someone who can use the stuff, just in
case.....

I've had that problem a few times. Things that you buy when you're at
the market and hungry (Ooo, Tuna Fudge bars. That sounds neat!). Or
someone gave them some of it for Christmas. Or he has kids who beg
for something and then try it and go Yuck! Or you buy 2-get one
free.

My bet is that they just reorganized their pantry and found all this
stuff. Me, I'd donate the unopened stuff to the food bank and bring
the rest to work, where someone is sure to want some of it.

Have you never been on the receiving end of a cupboard cleaning from
someone's move?

I've 'inherited' some strange food-like items when a friend or
neighbour moved out of town and didn't want to bother packing the few
odds and ends in the kitchen cupboard.

Sometimes I've been lucky, sometimes not. I finally through out the
pickled herring in some kind of cream sauce but the sugary breakfast
cereal actually made a nice snacking item when reading.

I guess that person hasn't ever heard of a food bank.

Yeah, but I got good stuff! Frozen foods: a couple of frozen lamb shanks
in rosemary sauce. Mussels in butter sauce. Chicken with orange sauce.
Scallops. The only odd thing I was given was a packet of instant mashed
potatoes but they'll make a nice coating for baked chicken so I'm not too
concerned.

I never did quite that well but some pork chops and IIRC a half bottle
of something like Creme de Menthe once. I did discover that in an
emergency the fake cheese in Kraft dinner is not a bad base for a
simple cheese dip.

I don't even know what they are? Some kind of dog food maybe?

I have no idea what the stuff I had was but it had some crunchy
stuff, some seeds or nuts and some sugar. It went fairly well with a
coffee or cup of tea.

Sorry a sugary kids cereal that is made up of the words of the alphabet.
The joke fell flat.

Yeah, buying food items that have been opened, from a stranger, is a
really good idea.
