My grocery bill is steadily climbing and I am not sure what to do. I make too much for SNAP. Any tips or tricks? It’s just me in my household, so would buying in bulk be worth it?
Edit: I want to thank everyone for their responses. I have a lot to think about.
If you see someone taking food, no you didn’t.
Grow some basic empathy.
I don’t care if someone takes food.
I want to know what crime it is if it isn’t shoplifting or theft.
i worked at a chain store,w here the shoplifting was so pervasive the store had to permanently scuttled down, basically we were forbidden to even mention it to anyone til much later, granted its mostly done by tweakers, meth heads crackheads.
Shoplifting not okay in every instance, clearly. 😞
If you want to go by the letter of the extremely immoral laws that govern our society it would be shoplifting. Calling it that allows people with no empathy to pass judgement and kick a victim of their precious system, while they are down.
It shouldn’t be a crime. It should be a crime to starve someone by underpayment of wages.
Why can’t both be crimes? There can be two wrongs in this equation. You shouldn’t just take things. But you should also be able to afford to live if you have work, and also if you can’t work. A society has failed you if you can’t. Agreed.
Because one is a crime poor people do against rich people, and the other is a crime rich people do against poor people.
I doubt the owner of “my local grocery store” is a rich person.
Perhaps for your specific case. I was referring to the more general “supermarket food stealing” sort of situation.
Okay, I was talking about the topic in this thread.
