Prepper Ping Supplement : SNAP benefits for food is set to expire nationwide on March 1st
" Sen. Bernie Sanders (I., Vt.) in 1985 praised countries where people "line up for food,"
calling breadlines a "good thing."

MtnClimber : "Things look like they could get really "good"."

This coincides with the elimination of SNAP (Supplemental Foods) additional benefits issued during the pandemic
and those benefits are set to expire March 1.
This will increase the demand nationwide on regional food pantries,
so those pantry food lines will be even longer.
The amount of SNAP benefits vary, but may mean as much as a 1/3 reduction, or more, in assistance monies for food for low income families.
YMMV

Dh went to town (very small but has two food stores, Grocery Outlet and one other, small local chain) and pickings were VERY thin, prices twice as high as not long ago. Compounded because of heavy snow in CA preventing trucks from getting here. He was buying milk (well stocked) and produce (very thin).
