DailyDi Posted July 25, 2022 Share Posted July 25, 2022 Just got three days worth of food for Mom and I with my last $40. Problem: there's six days left in the month. I didn't get my usual small check this week because I came in two dollars under the minimum payout. 4 Link to comment

There's no shame in taking advantage of the resources available. That's what they're there for buddy! I hope you and your mom are doing well. BIG HUGS!!!!????♥️???? 2 Link to comment
Spanky Posted July 26, 2022 Share Posted July 26, 2022 Nothing is cheap anymore. I really think that they are under reporting inflation at 9.1% I'm pretty sure that it's much higher than that. 1 Link to comment

They aren't counting the extra ten percent stores are charging just because they can. 1 Link to comment

DailyDi Posted July 28, 2022 Author Share Posted July 28, 2022 The food banks here have been overrun so I try to keep them for folks who have even less than us. We're only a couple days short on food, some people have nothing coming down the pike. 1 Link to comment

babykuri Posted July 29, 2022 Share Posted July 29, 2022 I know how that is! I haven't worked in almost a year and my food stamps barely cover a months food for just myself. I'm lucky in that my parents cover the other expenses like gas, cat food and bills but its not easy at all. I'm sorry you're going through that right now. 1 Link to comment
feralfreak Posted July 29, 2022 Share Posted July 29, 2022 it might not do any good this year, but next year if possible you might consider a garden, something simple, beans are easy to grow. 1 Link to comment

Cats are easier as a big bag of food is $20. Dog food is more expensive because it is beef-based I guess. 1 Link to comment

snidia Posted July 30, 2022 Share Posted July 30, 2022 We save money on food by going to the Amish farm stands(stands at there houses, a bunch in ashland, homes, and wayne Countries Ohio on back roads) hit 2 and spend 40bucks, and have few weeks of vegetables, gotta cut them up and freeze em, probably 100 plus at even aldis. But its nice to live near amish County 1 Link to comment
