  2. #Trump’s #megabill may force your local grocery store to close

    Excerpt: "Wright’s Market has been a fixture of Opelika, Alabama, a town of around 30,000 near Auburn University, since the 1970s. The supermarket relies on the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (#SNAP) for roughly one-third of sales.

    "SNAP is a 'big piece of what we do,' said owner Jimmy Wright, who has worked at the store since he was 12 and bought it almost 30 years ago. 'We see very hardworking people who are using this program to try to feed their families and pay rent.'

    " 'SNAP, formerly known as #FoodStamps, is the largest #AntiHunger program in America. Recipients receive, on average, about $6.16 a day, according to the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities.

    "But President Trump’s #OneBigBeautifulBill Act makes the largest cuts to food stamps in the program’s 86-year history, jeopardizing assistance for more than 42 million people. It also imperils the program’s role as an economic anchor for grocery stores and communities, particularly in #rural areas, according to #grocers and economists."

  7. CW: #cdnPoli Buy Canadian in ON

    @deborahh

    FarmBoy is good, but just one option for local #grocers in #Canada.
    Website altgrocery.ca was created for the #Loblaws #boycott and still is a great listing of alternative grocers - not saying they necessarily will only have local sourced produce etc., but they'd stand to have more local than whatever the Big Five have - which is whatever they can get the cheapest i.e. from the US.

  8. #Photography #Food #India #Haverfordwest #Curry O joy, the #Tamil #Grocers in town is reopening after a refit. Actually they were on final kitting out but I'm not easily put off & the door was open. So adding to my stocks, bulk cardomens (green), ghee, & basmati rice. More will be purchased next week!

  14. ... and that's one way to do it. More people need to do so.

  15. @kdorse #Boycott #Loblaws - for the month of May.. or how about forever!?

    Just a reminder, there is THIS lovely website for finding non-big5 #Canadian #grocers in your area: altgrocery.ca/prov/on

    Here in #kitchener #waterloo we have so many choices, let alone half a dozen Farmer's markets.

  16. @cardamomaddict Grocers make greed sound like such a mild word. At this point, is there any doubt that they (and other #grocers) only care about their profits, and couldn’t care less about consumers). My question now is, what level of despair do they have to witness before they stop gouging us?

  17. Who would've thunk retailers would ratchet back self checkouts? On related note, single line for cashiers is fairest & reduces risk getting stuck behind slow ones

  18. If Loblaws and other grocers were really on the side of consumers, they wouldn't be so complicit in shrinkflation. They are also practitioners with their own labels. Canada should follow Brazil's requirement for labeling changes in size.
