And the dollar is applied to the charity of your choice?

No.

I make $19,000 a year. Every two months I donate a bag of groceries to a local food bank. These are groceries I buy with my own money using every sale and coupon I can find. I personally hand the groceries to the food bank people.

I also donate $200 a year to a foundation that does research on ALS and $100 a year to our local animal shelter.

I figure that is good enough

I do that with regularity. At this time of the year, it is commonplace in my area to be able to purchase an 'empty grocery bag' for those in need. I have the option of paying whatever I choose for the empty bag. The recipient is allowed to choose groceries to the monetary extent which I purchased.

I have no issues with this, since life and business has been good for me. The few dollars I spend in this manner are valuable to the community and will help a truly needy family over the holidays.

(Note: I have checked out these offerings to insure that the donation goes where intended. It does.)

Would it actually be given to a charity or a "charity", meaning the store really just keeps the cash?

Nope, I am already doing enough charity at the gas station.

so I pay an extra dollar or it comes off of what I save?
