My city has a problem with no grocery stores in a certain part of town. Shoplifting and theft is the biggest reason.
The council voted to ban new Dollar type stores for 6 months. Some solution huh?
They need a ban on Shoplifting.
We have 99cent stores here that have a huge grocery section...frozen food and fresh vegetables included. We have a boat in Ventura and when I’m there by myself I buy my groceries at the 99 cent store. I can spend $20 and bring half the groceries home with me. After my dad died my mom almost ate exclusively out of the one near her.
Stupid to ban them. They are a great resource for food without spending a lot of money. Especially for people that are buying food for 1 person.
