vhughes+FollowSNAP week always means higher prices — and we pay for itIn 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 #WorkingFamilies10Share
zmcclure+FollowMy Checklists Don’t Work AnymoreI’m a single dad with two kids. Every month I make a checklist: rent, power, groceries. SNAP usually covers the food. Now, the numbers don’t add up. I stared at my notebook last night, trying to move dollars from one column to another, but no matter how I did it, there wasn’t enough left for food. #SNAPInterrupted #WorkingFamilies #BudgetStrain #SNAPInterrupted #WorkingFamilies #BudgetStrain21Share
