There''s something to be said for self-sufficiency and self-pride.

BTW, we had a 10% COLA under Biden. That tells you where the real problem is. The federal reserve out of control with money creation. Time to get off the treadmill.

Not sure if you’ve taken a look at what the family dollar/dollar general is selling, but it’s virtually all processed, but it’s what is available close to home.

That's what happens when stores are raided and looted, and judges don't uphold justice and let criminals go scot-free. Stores try to put stuff behind counters and under glass, but eventually they give up and close.

You wanted this nirvana, so we're living it now.

Ok, but how is forcing people to use their SNAP benefits on more expensive food just because it's unprocessed going to help any of this? It sounds like you just want to rant about poor people and how much you think they suck.

These trolls are ridiculously stupid, just ignore them. Energy vampires.

I guess a certain group of people won't be able to buy shopping carts full of meats and canned goods with EBT, cart it all back to their own stores and food trucks and resell it for cash?

You know it's happening and yet you want to continue the grift. Enough.

Isn’t that essentially what Trump is doing with his ballroom?

In the DC metropolitan area Trader Joe's are plentiful while family dollar/dollar general are only in farther out suburbs. Ironically the three dollar stores that I know of are all in strip malls that also have a TJ's.

EBT is not simply for Dollar General or Trader Joe’s, although the latter has a decidedly greater selection of organic foods, as well as sustainably-sourced and fair-trade foods and products.

EBT is accepted at a wider variety of retail establishments every year.
