Gephardt Busts Inflation: Will shopping the dollar stores stretch your grocery dollar?

Getting dinner on the table was rarely simple before high inflation hit the economy, but for millions of families, it has become a downright financial struggle.

Their prices went up and the packages became smaller! Inflation happens, we may not like it but we don't have a choice. But when they then give you less ounces per package. It's a double WHAMMY!?

Looking at dollar per ounce is the best way to see if your saving money. I like buying from bulk section at Winco.

A dollars stored now price more expensive than Walmart and the foods not quality.

The Dollar General where I’m at is only a few minutes away and the closest Walmart is at least a half an hour or more. We either save on gas or save on groceries. It seems to even itself out. Having a garden is smart.

Better yet if you have a little land like even 300 square feet is enough grow a dam crop for God sakes.
Your in a drought cool put a dam 5 gallon bucket in the shower with you and use that water to well water your crops.
Oh you don't have a yard fine go to lows and get a $80 led grow light and a couple big plastic bins and put your plant pots in there so the water doesn't go on the floor and grow inside 😏.
Oh the bugs ya so get a venus fly trap and a picture plant and a sundew plant to eat the dam bugs.
