Do not judge, lest you be judged!
Oh - and the bags are NOT for charity - they are for Lunch - they just happen to donate $5 to charity... |
Well said- I was in a similar situation myself. I bought 1 bag for personal use, but I don't work outside of the home. I thought the bags were really beautiful, and would come in handy on day trips. I also really liked the idea of half of the purchase going to charity, and wanted the promotion to be successful!
However, I had no idea how succesful it would be! Friends that wanted the bags weren't able to purchase them because they sold out so quickly. Eventually, I sold my one bag on Ebay for around $50, as it wasn't being used and I couldn't decide which frined to give it to.
I didn't get the email from Lean Cuisine, but I hop to buy a few bags this year- one for myself and a few as Christmas gifts for those that really wanted them last year.
