OK, you said foodstuffs.

Paper towels, 75 watt light bulbs, garbage bags, sweet bread-n-butter pickles and office supplies are not foodstuffs (although my mother might think the bread-n-butter pickles qualify, but she’s mentally ill and unfit to judge these things. She also doesn’t like getting massages.)

Anyhoo, I have sixteen packages of Ramen Noodles. I might just be persuaded to let a few of them go for some of the Rice-a-Roni and a jar of the All-fruit not jelly stuff.
