original response
My budget for charity (including donations to aid groups, charities, political groups, giving cash and food directly to the homeless, donations to FOSS projects) is between 1-2% of my take home pay. I’m not religious, but when good fortune happens to me, I obligate myself to pay it forward to others in thanks.

Funny you should mention grocery stores:

When one dynasty (the Weston family) owns nearly a 3rd of the entire grocery market, steal from people by fixing the price of bread, driving independent retailers and smaller suppliers out of business through exploitative supply agreements?
Yes I would like to take a big chunk of money from these hoarders.
How much of your personal cash do you give away every year to help people?
