I have some mental health issues and I’ve taken meds for years now for it. You would never be able to tell it by looking at me! I’m a disabled Sr. Citizen 71 years old. Whenever I need help with something, it is the most humbling experience to ask for help! I also have worked with food banks in the past so I understand how they work and how judgmental people are, decades ago I delivered Meals on Wheels. Today, I haven’t had a car in decades now, and I don’t take the Meals on Wheels, because others need it worse than me. I’m still cooking over half the week & have leftovers. Everyone is different. I don’t wanna encourage you whether you’ve been where these people have been or whether you haven’t you’re not to judge in the Bible God says in Matt. 7:1…”JUDGE NOT LEST YE BE JUDGED.” MERRY CHRISTMAS & GOD BLESS YOU ALL. 🙏🏼✝️🕊️💜🙏🏼✝️🕊️💜

Why Are Grocery Stores Ditching Loose Potatoes?

Ever notice your grocery store only has plastic-wrapped potatoes now? Shoppers at Sainsbury’s are not happy—one even posted a pic after their store stopped selling loose white potatoes. People are frustrated about having to buy more than they need (hello, food waste) and all that extra plastic. Some are even complaining to the store and on social media. Would you drive further just to get loose veggies? This plastic swap is sparking a real debate! #Food #GroceryStore #PlasticWaste

My Relative Used SNAP to Stockpile Food for a Birthday Party

I went to my nephew’s birthday party and saw piles of snacks, drinks, wings, and pizza. My cousin casually told me she’d been stockpiling everything with SNAP over the past two months. Meanwhile, I struggled to buy a single bottle of milk for my kid the night before. The party didn’t upset me—the mindset did. #SNAPAbuse #WorkingPoorReality #EthicalDebate #FamilyDynamics

The Empty Cart Phenomenon at My Store

I manage a small grocery in a mid-sized town. I’m used to seeing packed carts at checkout; lately a new scene emerges: customers push carts, scan price tags, put back expensive items, and walk to the register with only two or three things. Some stand at the register, calm but with red eyes. Our in-store data show EBT transactions down nearly 40%, and even non-EBT cash spending is down—people are cutting overall consumption. As a local retailer we’re partnering with a food bank to offer discounted bundles and short-term credit for regulars. When systems fail, towns rely on each other—not on algorithms. #SNAPInterrupted #LocalBusiness #CommunityResponse

I Found A Time Capsule Pizza Hut In North Carolina And It Hit Me Right In The Feels

You guys are not going to believe this but I stumbled upon a Pizza Hut in North Carolina that is literally a time capsule. Walking in there felt like stepping right back into my childhood. They still have those classic red cups for drinks. The light fixtures are just like I remember. There's even a real jukebox in the corner. And get this they still have the old school tablecloths. #PizzaHut #Nostalgia #RetroVibes #Food #PizzaLovers #ChildhoodMemories #NorthCarolina #Throwback

The Day I Saw Someone Buy Lobster with SNAP

While I was carefully choosing discounted chicken, the woman in front of me bought live lobsters and imported steaks—using an EBT card. I know the rules allow any food, but that moment felt unfair in a way I can’t explain. When you’re struggling and someone using benefits is eating better than you, it hits differently. #SNAPLobster #BenefitDebate #RealAmerica #GroceryStories
