Food bank only had raisins. My food stamps were cut by two thirds. Inflation is way up. Specific shortages. I asked some people around me and they’re also struggling. No emergency announcements. Feels like a cover up. I heard US shale oil is peaking. All this and I live in the central valley of California, ag central. I should have food easily, instead it’s a struggle.
Sorry to hear about your struggle. Food costs are up.

Looks like:
- fast food outpaced everything
- $10 worth of groceries in May 2023 cost $10.10 in May 2024… seem like more? :)
