SNAP week always means higher prices — and we pay for it

In Phoenix, everyone knows this: the week SNAP hits, grocery prices go up. Last week at Safeway, chicken breast went from $2.99/lb to $4.29/lb overnight. A woman next to me whispered, “SNAP folks don’t feel it anyway.” But we do. People paying full price end up carrying the burden. Government help shouldn’t distort prices in ways that punish working families. #SNAPLife #ShowUsTheBill #FoodInflation #CostOfLiving #WorkingFamilies

My Checklists Don’t Work Anymore

I’m a single dad with two kids. Every month I make a checklist: rent, power, groceries. SNAP usually covers the food. Now, the numbers don’t add up. I stared at my notebook last night, trying to move dollars from one column to another, but no matter how I did it, there wasn’t enough left for food. #SNAPInterrupted #WorkingFamilies #BudgetStrain #SNAPInterrupted #WorkingFamilies #BudgetStrain

This is the third time this week I’ve used the Walmart method, and honestly, that’s why I’m sharing it. Not because it’s flashy — but because it helped when I needed groceries more than once in the same week. Between flu season, missed work, and prices staying high, one grocery run just hasn’t been enough lately. Being able to stretch my budget multiple times took a lot of pressure off and helped me stay ahead instead of falling behind. it worked for me, so I shared the same thing I used in my bio in case anyone else is dealing with the same kind of week. #MakingItWorkDespiteTheOdds #WalmartSavings #BudgetStretching #RealLifeHelp #FluSeasonStruggles #GroceryCostsIncrease #WorkingFamilies #MakingItWork #EverydayLifeStruggles
