Food prices will cost even more next year...how do u like them apples?

I recently went on EBT (food stamps) and all my food is free. I am eating so much healthier and feel so much better! Unfortunately my rent went up outrageously and my Social Security payment doesn't even cover my half of it. My days are numbered. If i don't get government housing by September I will be homeless. I won't last a week on the street.

They keep making billions in profits though.

All by design to destroy the West, you’ll own nothing and be happy!!!

i hate those apples

The poor get poorer. We have to prioritize. We have to save money. I am working on expanding my gardens. Anything one does to self-sustain is helpful. Our wages are not increasing. So we must make changes to survive. We cannot stop the prices increasing. We just have to live more wisely.

Corporate greed

The solution for that is obviously to build a wall so the ones that tend to the apples ( and all produce picking and raising...and who works in the meat packing plants) are more restricted each year from coming into the U.S. to do those shitty low paying jobs. Like now. But hey............it gives American kids jobs at minimum wage. I bet those American kids are standing in line to fill out those applications, huh?

Hunger games

Like everything we purchase, food prices have soared way beyond inflation rates and will never return to pre-pandemic prices. Like always, the public will continue being screwed by industry and greedy investors.

This, by in large, is driven by the Stock Markets and the greed-driven investors.

Then maybe it’s time to start using smaller vendors.

As the old saying goes, we reap what we sow

We are finally paying for the COVID shutdowns

Gardening works wonders when prices soar, just plant a seed, and enjoy wholesome organic food.

unfortunate ;(

I'm not happy about it. But I don't think I have any choice. I'm not growing my own food. Maybe I could find a co-op somewhere.

A hunting and fishing license costs around 30 bucks for both.

Isn’t everything always at least a few pennies more every year though?

Gee, and in the past that never happened?

how it goes

greed-flation plain and simple

Until we neuter the rich this is how it goes.
