SNAP week always means higher prices — and we pay for it

In Phoenix, everyone knows this: the week SNAP hits, grocery prices go up. Last week at Safeway, chicken breast went from $2.99/lb to $4.29/lb overnight. A woman next to me whispered, “SNAP folks don’t feel it anyway.” But we do. People paying full price end up carrying the burden. Government help shouldn’t distort prices in ways that punish working families. #SNAPLife #ShowUsTheBill #FoodInflation #CostOfLiving #WorkingFamilies
