I want to brag about our friendly Mercatalyst today
21I have been buying the Similac formula to donate to local food pantries. Years ago I started routinely donating after I found out a co-worker was involved in the pantry at her church. It made me more aware of giving opportunities. Earlier this week I ran across Side Deal selling it again and placed another order. After placing the order I remembered co-worker telling me about the relationship she’s developed with her grocery store. When she needs to buy in bulk she talks to the manager and gets a little better deal stretching the available budget. So what did I do, I wrote Mercatalyst asking if a better deal was available for me to purchase and donate. Well, they came through for my bulk buy. They gave it to me at cost and since I’m a VMP member with free shipping they are actually taking a little bit of a hit.
Thank you Mercatalyst!!!

Well done!
Just when Mercatalyst (Meh) has pissed me off for what I think is the last time, they go and do something nice
@Barney But… we are offering purple guitars today. FOR YOU!
@troy See? You’re offering purple guitars when I am short of money. Waaah!
@Barney @troy I’m in for $10 for the Get Barney a Purple Guitar fund. Just saying.
Anyone else?
This world needs more whimsy. So much more.
@Barney @brainmist @troy I got $20 to spare.
@brainmist @yakkoTDI Thanks for the offer, but have you ever seen Barney’s hands? Not made for guitar playing, even purple guitars.

It pays to know your limitations!
That is so awesome! In my youth I learned what it was to be hungry. That stays with you. Donating to food banks is something very close to my heart as a grown man. You done good! Bravo!
standing ovation for you
Fine… and also for Mercatalyst
/giphy standing clap
VAN MURALS! GROUND SQUIRRELS! SPIT CURLS! AWESOME!
Good for you for doing what you can, and good for Mercatalyst for recognizing and supporting a great cause!
