Food Pantry/Food Banks
Well. I'm there. It's been months since we had meat as the main focus of our meal. I've been creative and made everything I can possibly whip together and call it "dinner" using pantry staples. There is no lunch. There are no snacks anymore. Our snack cabinet went empty for so long that it just got reallocated as storage for non-food items.
As a SAHM I don't get out much, but my jaw about hit my lap when we drove past the gas station last night and I saw that diesel is pushing SEVEN FREAKING DOLLARS a gallon!?
Get to the grocery store, and a bag of apples (which are still considered in season, mind you) is $6.99. we just can't. We can't. My husband has a good job, but it's not enough for our family of 4. He makes too much to apply for any sort of assistance, but those guidelines haven't changed since our utility bills tripled from what they used to be, and our property taxes doubled.
I never thought it would get this bad, but here we are.
Can anyone tell me where we can get grocery items, preferably central/north/west in the county? I wouldn't ask if we didn't really need it, but I can't work right now and I don't know what else to do.
