I think you’ll be surprised at just how much I got.  I picked up:

• 5 Cans of Ravioli
• 5 Cans of Tuna5 Loaves of Bread
• 5 Boxes of Mac and Cheese
• 10 Double Packs of baby food
• 5 Boxes Oatmeal
• 5 Bags of Gold Fish Cracker
• 5 Bags of English Muffins
• 4 Boxes of frozen Breakfast Sausage
  (they only had 4 on the shelf or I would have gotten 5)
• 5 Large Bags of Celery
• 15 lbs of Potatoes

Total Came to $66.08.

If I didn’t buy the potatoes, I would have come in at $59.00.  The potatoes where on a “In-Store Special” so I went over just a bit, because 15 pounds of potatoes will go a long way!

I didn’t have to use coupons – just my Ralph’s Club Card and everything was on sale!

I challenge you to see what you can do with just $25, and help put food on the table for many little peeps in our valley!

The Santa Clarita Food Pantry is open Monday – Thursday 9am to noon.

Don’t drop on Friday, because nobody will be there.  This birdie found that out the hard way!  You can also find an off hours drop off box located in the alley behind the building (but I also found that out a little too late)!

Don’t forget to tell them alilbirdie.com sent you to help fill the shelves!

World’s Best Toffee? YES!

This lilbirdie pecked open her first box of The World’s Best Toffee a few days ago!  Milk Chocolate, Dark Chocolate, and White Chocolate!

Not being much of a toffee fan, I wasn’t really sure if I was going to like it. Toffee tends to be too sticky for me. But, much to my delight, I found the World’s Best Toffee isn’t sticky at all. In fact, it was the most delicious toffee I have ever had, almost creamy! It came in a very simple brown box with a cream colored bow. It was elegant. The card inside told me that, because there was no artificial coloring or preservatives it was best to enjoy my toffee as soon as possible, witch in birdie talk means, “Eat every last bite until it is gone!” That is exactly what I did too.

I found myself rustling the plastic wrap a few times a day, and a few times, even right before going to bed – BAD BIRDIE. It was so good that I refused to share even the smallest of crumbs with my little peeps!

I was so fixed on my scrumptious handmade treat that I didn’t notice the second little card was in the box until I was down to my last little square. This card was different. It had no direction on how or why I had to eat all my toffee in one shot, it was a card that read “The Keaton Raphael Memorial” “A Beacon of HOPE for Children with Cancer”

It seems, that just because I decided to buy a box of World’s Best Toffee a $5 donation was made to the Memorial Fund. Right there, I decided that “World’s Best Toffee” had made it onto my Valentine’s Day, Mother’s day and Birthday wish lists.  Not only that, but I will be sending some to my friends back east for their Birthdays. It is just plain yummy, it makes a great gift and who wouldn’t want to be a “Beacon of HOPE for Children with Cancer!”

World’s Best Toffee, alilbirdie.com will be chipping about you for a long time!

Place an order for yourself today, or think about a box the next time you need a Hostess gift. When you do order just make sure you tell them “alilbirdie.com” told you about them!
