I shop less and I have moved to less expensive products. I no longer impulse buy. I work from a list. I still run out of money before the end of the month.

Being on Disability, fixed income, my money just doesn't go as far. I try to eat good food, but it's getting harder to afford them. Why is junk food cheaper......

Jeanette Johnson

I totally agree with you. I am also on disability and fixed income. I still shop at Costco because I do get more for my money AND I definitely need more for my money. I don't buy as much meat as I used to that's for sure.

Alma

Yes, I've had to use walmart more and I dislike walmart.

Megan Basl-Huff

The prices are completely out of the roof. Now I have to drive farther to save more on groceries.

Inflation caused by biden

Actually, it's Trump's crappy chinese tariffs that we are paying the price for. Biden has done very little that would cause inflation. Brush up a little before making accusations.

Safe parking programs have a proven track record of successfully taking people from being homeless into having a place of their own. Safe parking programs cut down on costs to cities for ambulance calls, police calls, visits to emergency rooms and mental health crises that costs taxpayers money.

Perhaps? Hiding the un-housed in various random locations doesn't solve much. This is just another band-aid solution! Seems just the latest adaptation of "kicking the can down the road"...?
