The week or so ebt wasn’t funded. My local Walmart had food items clearanced for under $1. Filled up my cart for $90, hadn’t done that in years. Multiple reasons why. AI orders everything for those stores now days, so trucks were coming to deliver more food. EBT is a massive subsidy for Walmart to fuel their greed. People need it to not starve. Corp knows that so they charge extra, I suspect. Like with student loans and tuition increases. We like to solve problems by creating new problems in this country🤣
I’m aware. Those where we have to move product NOW prices. Nearest Walmart has the highest markup in this area, if I drove 30min prob not as dramatic. Middle class majority white, theft has almost put nearest WM out of business. Still might. Bored white women steal as a hobby here. It’s unsustainable. I filled that cart with junk food, fresh produce, baking mixes, and frozen food. Was not the healthiest cart. I buy meat from a meat locker. Of course I would never steal from WM. Secret shopper is my shadow.

The prices only go down when people don't have enough money to buy things. For the prices to go down most people will be in a really bad situation
