#1 ...We've got our food budget under control - for now, since it's just my wife and I. It wouldn't take much, though.

#4 Since, when a business wants to Plays Social Politics it costs the customers $$$$$$ as they just passed it on to the consumers.
So WHY would I want to help FUND it via 3rd person handout, given our reduced buying power?

Because just about all the food on the shelves has had strange ingredient adjustments and tastes odd. Plus with package Shrink-inflation, and the costs are now well up over 21+%.

We even turned off the lights, as many others did, for Halloween to save spending $50+ for candy. (about the current cost of 2 family in home meals)

Plus House values went up 25+% and SO DID the related taxes on the new value. Plus Home and car Insurance coverage costs went up to cover the increase repair and replacement cost differences.

Vehicle Fuel for most of America went up 50+% along with Home heating costs up and etc . etc. etc.

But cheer up we will get a 3.##% SSA COLA 2024 increase.

If it ain't on Special at 25% off, or better, and does not have at least a Best Buy Date of a year out or better, we stopped buying it.
