Surging food costs drive Baltimore families to rely on food banks

[@nenegarza9764]

How does these people have new cars and still go to the food bank 😂

[@Shannonacrossamerica]

In my area, the food bank closes at 4pm and it isn’t open on the weekends or holidays. I work 7 am to 3 pm Mon-Fri and, after traveling from work, I wouldn’t get to the food bank until 3:45. If I needed the food bank, I’d never be able to use it.

[@debbieframpton3857]

You would still have time to get there we have one pantry on Wednesday that is 2:00 to 4:00 and a friend of mine gets off work at 3:30 and she makes it there by 3:45

[@Syisulis]

That's the point

[@mistiinseattle]

They did NOT rise 11%!!! Things which used to sell for 99 cents are now almost $4 for fewer in the package. We are not stupid.

1 dozen eggs was $2 now $3.50 ish within a few months.

ours are up to $5. thank god i have an egg allergy. 😬🎉

These people seem to all be driving nice cars when I was struggling I had a 1977 truck I have seem a lot of people drive up to food banks with new cars

I now one of our gas station gouges. It’s just me I try to go with out. But if you have children you can not.

[@MayMay-qr1yc]

It's pretty bad where I live. I left Safeway the other day, having carefully budgeting my family meals, spent over 300$ and wasn't even able to cover three days worth of meals. That's just for 3 people. Companies life Safeway are taking advantage. I get it, it's a buisness, capitalism and all of that but when it comes to food and medicine there has to be better cost regulation.

[@pearlperlitavenegas2023]

Shop the sales ads in your area....look at the weekly ads

[@debbieframpton3857]

Not sure the ages of the people you are feeding or what you buy but $300 should be able to stretch it a week or more. Shop sales and look for markdown meat and other markdown food items this is what I've been doing for many years

[@debbieframpton3857]

@@chrisgreen1904 , Is there a different store available that you could shop at I don't know where you live. I live in Central Illinois I buy nothing but mark down meat at Kroger and other mark down food items been doing this for years. I don't have a Safeway in my area but that store seems pricey if you're only getting enough food for 3 days for that price. I'm not a big Walmart shopper but it seems like you could do better prices there. Have you ever considered going to a food pantry I have helped it one for many years they are very helpful

oh sure. let me just grab my money and get on that. you realize people can't afford rent, food, gas let alone property, right?

[@nicecutie]

we are not living in the dark ages anymore. people dont grow there own food, they go to the store and buy food.

[@Roostars]

@@nicecutie I did it! It can be done. It's cheaper and healthier than buying food from the grocery store.

You have no idea how close you are to World War III. A lot is going wrong in America and the world. You are hopelessly in debt and stand in front of the soup kitchens with financed SUVs (consumption of 10 - 15l) and beg for food. But as long as the music is still playing on the Titanic, you live according to the motto "What does the world cost". In just a few weeks, many will fall deeply.

[@aelfgar123]

Inflation is way higher than that.

As milk is being dumped into fields. Craziness!

[@scottowensbyable]

Milk might be dumped if the refrigerating equipment is not working.

[@scottowensbyable]

I raise cattle. Unless there is a health reason that would be an unusual event. I have never seen that. Extra milk can be frozen, fed to baby calves. Leftover milk products are put back into animal feeds.there is not a lot of waste on a farm

[@ririgala1741]

Look. People just don't want to buy the food at current prices. I wouldn't. It's insane. But dollar store items & cheap processed food like spam, i'm sure people are still buying them regularly. You can't be fat, & not afford to eat. Duh. Common sense.

[@MayMay-qr1yc]

actually poor people can be fat because its not so much the amount they eat but what they're eating. junk food is more affordable than healthy food. eat all the time and that sugar/extra carbs makes you fat.

[@stk.plantation2912]

Yes, both things can be true at once. Food prices are rising all over the world and the Democrats are saying things are better under their administration. Printing more money to fund Ukraine and help pay off student loans doesn’t help.
