I thought the same. We’re almost half through the month. Presumably this isn’t her first shopping trip this month since getting Oct. benefits. A certain percentage of my groceries are always stock-up staples-rice, flour, powdered milk, canned food, pasta, etc., things you can put a meal together with in an emergency. This is a good plan in case of snowstorms, illness, etc. for example here we may be having a grocery workers strike a d Ive decided not to cross the picket line, so Ive been stocking up. I also happen to have a lot of homemade soup and stuff in the freezer which would come in handy.
These were some of the same people who I suspect had so many travails during Hurricane Katrina, and for some of the same reasons.
I do t know if stories of riots are true but if so, it shows that not that much s**t really needs to hit the fan before things unravel.
If they have the cash for fast food, they have enough for a few meals’ worth of groceries. $20 can buy a lot of food if you know how to shop.
God bless the Food Pantries and those who volunteer to help dispense the food. There are American citizens out there who because of age, disability/illness or loss of employment do need assistance obtaining food for themselves and their families. And to the illegals and the bums who live off the backs of you and I, I say it's just too damn bad for you.
