I been buying coke/pepsi from a convenient store next to where I work. They have a few food items in there including 1 lb of bacon for $6.59. I thought no one would pay that. I was right, but the store is walking distance from low income housing so they walk there and use their single payer food card (EBT) and have no idea what food is supposed to cost. It isn’t their problem.
so they walk there —
to buy bacon ...
The walk is good for their health. Just imagine how extra fat they would be without that necessary bit of exercise.

“1 lb of bacon for $6.59”
While that’s high, it’s no higher than than the current retail price at the “big” grocery stores around central PA. Truth be told if I was out of bacon I’d pay more, a lot more.
That’s about what our grocery store sells bacon for. This taxpayer used to buy the off brand bacon but they quit selling it so haven’t been able to afford bacon for a long time.
