Hi, guys —

  • If our family is on a budget and we are trying to save money, is it a sin to take a bunch of those sugar packets from restaurants to use at home to save money?

Samuel

  { Because our family is on a budget, trying to save money, can we take some extra sugar packets? }

Mary Ann replied:

Sam —

Stealing is wrong. If you or your family are starving, and no one is giving you food, it is legitimate to take it, however, saving money is not starvation!
