Sadly there are people who exist only on dollar store foods. The US grocery system is a mess and unable to provide food at sand prices. On top of all of that, sadly the US economic system is based upon competition and here we have a situation in which competition is stood on its ear. Normally if you are sharp enough to put a competitor out of business you are doing a really good job. Now if we want a start in fixing things simply disallow all export of produce and meats from US businesses and that would push down grocery prices quite a bit. For example sea food is now so expensive that we no longer have staff in the sea food department at my local Publix. If one wants a seafood section product usually one has to ask someone from the butcher section to meet you in the seafood department. Sea food is so expensive that very few patrons will purchase it.
