Milk’s gone from $2 to $2.75 / gal at our local stores in 4 mos. Those Baraqqi food stamps and WICs aren’t going as far these days either.
They may be *indexing* these (to the non-existent inflation?) or something else to increase them. I was told back during the winter that food stamp payments had gone up around $50. Someone I know told me they were getting $360/month for 2 people.
