Buy powder, feed Americans

[Leo_B]

Just got an email reminding of this, as follows:

This Thanksgiving, Hodgdon Powder Company is proud to continue our tradition of giving back. From November 25–27, 10% of every online purchase will be donated to Feeding America, helping provide meals to families in need across the country.

There’s no promo code or sale — just a chance to make a difference. Your order helps feed hope this holiday season.

Id rather just donate to the charity than get racked across the coals by Hodgdon

Oh isn‘t that just lovely of Hodgdon to gouge customers and then fanfare their own altruism? Yep I’m so impressed.

I'll feed more hungry people locally, with the half dozen deer we donate; than I'll feed by spending $60 on a pound of powder.

No sweat off Hodgdon's books. They will write it all of as charity. It's just a
time of the year for this type of business ploy. They will be out nothing, but
hope your pity gets powder sold. Donate to charity food banks directly......
Donate back to yourself $10 bucks, then buy Vhitavouri powders and save
another $10 bucks.......

They aren't gouging anyone. Their prices are their prices, same as any other day. Don't like it don't buy. And how much is VV or Alliant or any others donating to feed people? And it costs them. Not the full amount but deductions aren't 100% value. So, nothing good to say? Try not saying anything for once.

Donate to charity food banks directly......

Best idea all the time!

In addition to donating 10% there's also, depending on amount spent, no hazmat fee and free delivery.

I always thought those altruistic thingamabobs were a way for you to pay for them to get a charitable deduction for their corporate taxes.

I thought that too, and laughed at the irony that we, as taxpayers, would be paying for that deduction. Now that corporate stocks are scored on public view and things that have nothing to do with them making money - these are the types of things publicly traded companies have to do. Save a kitten, save starving children, adopt an elephant or endangered white rhino. Take your pick.
