/u/Stormy_Wolf on Asking a single mom group to pay for $300 worth of clothes and misc items to start work

Wait 5 sec.

Yeah that was the stupidest part! Has this person never heard of a grocery bag? or just any random bag? And who doesn't have *some* kind of tupperware-like containers? even the cheap versions. Before the cheap versions were a thing, we saved butter cartons/tubs, or the plastic-container-with-lid that some ready-to-heat food comes in, or lunch meat. Also like someone else pointed out -- things like hair ties and socks? How is it possible you need new ones for work? Like to have, sure... but need?
