But can I ?! No I can’t because we have bills and responsibilities that come before anything else. The last food we ate out was Arbys and I had coupons and we brought our own drinks and ate in the car and that was 2 months ago !
We have no one to help us to get by. We are responsible adults dealing with this inflation that is killing us. We are trying to only go into town twice a month …we combine trips to include grocery, pharmacy and my twice a month appointment with Richard which I may need to cut down to once a month. I don’t even want to talk about the food items I have just taken off my normal grocery lists completely. Earlier this month I was shopping and that Diet Coke looked Amazing but I just couldn’t justify buying it.
I have no choice but to find a part time job. We simply can not survive any other way. So whether I’m in massive pain or not I have to suck it up and do it.
Sorry I just had to get that out *sigh*

Oh. Christina that’s terrible 😣 I hope there’s something available that isn’t very taxing. This inflation is terrible. And the car stuff on top of everything else! I think it’s terrible how you and Steve slip though the safety net just because you two were hard working folk who bought their own home 🏡 I know food stamp s are different in every state but don’t they allow people to own a home? Do you have anything there like Ruby’s Pantry? It’s a program for anyone. You pay $25 dollars and get a ton of food stuff. Kind of weird stuff but it’s good. It’s once a month. I went Thursday but was too late. They had too many people and had to turn away people 15 minutes after they opened. Last time I did it I gave half of the food to my daughter cause there was so much. We got three frozen packages of those new sausage links, boiled ready to eat eggs. Bread, two gallons of milk. Two bags of lettuce. And they did have those rice krispy like snack bars but I think that was the only junk food item we got.
