Go into the SNAP heavy ghettos. Few Walmart, few supermarkets. Many Quickie Marts.
In Atlanta a Fresh Market tried a store in Atlanta’s south food desert. It sold mostly fresh produce, fresh meat. Not many sugar/salt/highly processed foods. Those who lived in the area preferred the Quikie Mart. When others are paying, you don’t care the price. And sugar/salt/chocolate/beer are the 4 food groups.

That isn’t true at all, grocery money is grocery money, and limited, for some reason people think snap is like a blank check rather than just some supplementary grocery money.
A californian getting the 2024 average of $192, in most cases will be having to add to his grocery budget and will be trying to stretch it all for the whole month, just like other people, everyone has to eat for the entire month.
