18 US Grocery store chains at risk of closing

Grasping the enormity of the dark side of grocery store chains as I began waking in 2003 , had me walking out of Kroger .. with nothing !

That’s what’s so lovely about being rural , few fast food joints and local use of foods is higher !

Treats

I rewarded myself for staying in and the extraordinary quiet tonight was heavenly as many thoughts are running through my head .

I made a sliced chicken , pretzel roll with pesto Aoli sub for dinner , with chips! My only meal today was around 10 pm

So my reward was a pint of blackberries with chocolate , peanut butter which I defrosted a tad over but holy Pete was it good . The gelato had small chunks of peanut butter cups in the bottom . All this deliciousness and I’m sure the blackberries will clear my clock as it were in the morning lol so it’s a very good thing 🙌💯

Cost of Living

Eddie Myles Jr. Observed:

“Which means food insecurity is higher than we have the ability to track in a study. Most people would consider a $400 rent increase catastrophic to their budget.

So 11k in under 2 years is an increase few families can simply absorb. So they’re going without. Now some of that is convenience foods (pre chopped vegetables, microwaveable meals, desserts etc) but not all of it.

That means families are cutting out whole food products and replacing them with sugar and salt ridden processed versions that are cheaper. So that $11k more the grocery store and its supply chain are dividing up amongst themselves has the additional burden of likely hundreds of thousands of dollars in emergency room and medication costs this families will eventually incur and not be able to pay for and wind up showing up in taxes.

So for all the “you gotta work harder.” Or the “work smarter” crowd. In the interests of your own American “bootstrap” rugged individualist lie you may want to see this as a you problem even if you can absorb that $11k.”
