Now an 18 pack costs over 3 dollars.

I used to go to the hiv food bank once a month, if that. Now I have to go every week, or I won't make it. It's bullshit.

1. I'm sorry...that sucks
I heard the price of dairy has increased significantly over the past few months, but I can't testify myself since I haven't gone food shopping in almost a year. Hope things improve :(

2. I feel you Roon
$281 in Food Stamps each month used to be enough to get us through most of the month, if I was really careful. Now I get $293, and they barely last two weeks. If this continues, I seriously don't know how our little family of three is going to survive it. :(
