The Court Just Restored Benefits? Great. I'm Only Buying Cans

The court ordered the November SNAP benefits released today. The second the money hit my card, I was at the store. Did I buy fresh vegetables? No. I bought 30 cans of tuna, 20 cans of beans, and two massive bags of rice. Why? Because I don't trust the system anymore. This shutdown taught me one thing: they can turn off the tap whenever they want. I'm not worried about a "balanced diet." I'm worried about having something in my pantry when they shut it down again next month, or in January. Politicians accuse us of "abusing" the system. No, we're adapting to the chaos they created. #SNAPPrepper #Hoarding #NewNormal
