Food bank only had raisins. My food stamps were cut by two thirds. Inflation is way up. Specific shortages. I asked some people around me and they’re also struggling. No emergency announcements. Feels like a cover up. I heard US shale oil is peaking. All this and I live in the central valley of California, ag central. I should have food easily, instead it’s a struggle.
Are you near Fresno? If so, you can always get a free meal over at the Poverello house. You can also get a food bag. https://poverellohouse.org/what-we-do/food/emergency-food-bags
I used to volunteer over there. Great place.
As far as prices go, you can get a big 25 pound of rice/beans for less than 20$. Back when covid happened it lasted my wife and I about a year on both. It gets boring, but it works.
Yeah around there. I’ll check it out.
