My mother does this, but it's usually out of date shit. Straight in the bin, or snuck back into her cupboard when she's not looking.

Classic: coming down with the flu and having like 20 cans of Campbells chicken noodle soup at the ready.

Dud: can upon can upon can of Maxwell House coffee, which will most likely never be opened.

I'll take whatever free shit I can get. My parents bought us cheese, a dishrack, and a new air mattress, in addition to numerous restaurant meals, while they were visiting. Mmm.

I can't imagine drinking those Jumex nectars, but they're great for cooking with.

They seem like they'd be a good smoothie base, too.

I love Jumex! Buy Mexican!

My mom has 10 cans of chicken broth in the cabinet, "just in case." and then tells *me* to cook something with it.

"Shepherd's Pie - A British favorite. Ground beef combined with peas, carrots, tomatoes, celery, green peppers, and onions. Topped with a mound of mashed potatoes. As a finishing touch, you also get our crustry French Baguette. Enjoy the tastes of Europe–from Schwan’s! $11.98 serves 4"

My old roommate's hillbilly mom would always buys us crap from Schwan's, those strange armored trucks delivering mid-American frozen trash. I would never have purchased it myself, but when your freezer is suddenly stuffed with "Four Cheese Garlic Bread" and stuffed jalapenos, you don't complain... your arteries do!

Free food? Exactly as classic as the correlation between it and what you like to eat. For example: free sacher torte - classic; free moldy tortillas or rancid corn oil - dud; free homegrown tomatos - classic; free spoiled calf brains - dud. I hope this helped to clarify your confusion.

my parents never pawn delicious home-cooked leftovers off on me, it's always store-bought stuff just waiting for a place in the back of my pantry or freezer. like weird dried soups for lunch or horrible frozen lasagnas and fruit drinks and iced teas and breakfast cereals.

Like, things they bought on sale because they were on sale and later realized were crap.

Tell 'em you're not a garbage disposal. Politely.
