How broke are you?
   
We're so broke, we did our grocery shopping at a dollar store a few days ago. We're not starving, but we're as broke as broke can get. I can't recall ever having so little money. We've had the same exact income since June 2009 and every month that passes it feels like there is less and less money.

Anyone else feeling squeezed like this? Is it as bad out there as it feels to us?

6. 1 foot and 1 ankle

Okay, that was humorous, but most of the DUmmies sound that they would be eating better from bread in the old Soviet Republic.

14. We can get bread, canned v*****s, pasta, and other stuff...not just junk...
I finish school in November so we'll suck it up until then when I find a job. I'm just wondering if it's just me that's feeling this. We used to manage well enough before, but the last six months it feels like it's just steadily worsened.

DUmmy cynatnite will do well with that undergrad degree in philosophy.

35. it ain't just you
i feel like crying every time i go to the grocery store, i don't blame the federal gov't or obama, but the local gov'ts are just predators now, they have hiked taxes on our house to insane levels, insurance has been hiked to insane levels, and i could never sell my house now if i needed to because nobody would pay the taxes/insurance for a house that size...and now grocery is through the roof

just so disheartening but at least i have a yard and i can grow a few herbs in it, or a few v*****s, if worse comes to worse, the homeowner's association for our neighborhood collapsed so we can have chickens again

inflation is just insane, prices for EVERYTHING, even water and trash pick up are just through the roof
scary times but don't blame yourself, it's happening to everyone, if they're honest about it
Good to know DUmmy pitohui doesn't blame the president or the federal gov't for his chronic poverty. But wait..until two years ago the president was solely to blame for DUmmy's pitohui's miserable life. Why did that change?

4. Prices are bad... VERY bad currently!
You are not alone! Every time I walk in a grocery store I want to break out in a cold sweat.

That cold sweat is due to fear of being caught with a hunk of steak in his coat pocket.

9. Was never rolling in cash ...but for the last couple of years, it has been downhill all the way. Camper as domicile, EBT for food and lots of adaptation and creativity for what is mostly a survival-only way of life.

Why isn't poor, stupid Beth on this thread?

Now here is a post from a true DUmp democrat:

18. Got heart failure, canned illegally. SS dis is impossible to get unless you are already dead. Drew unemp, and now have the IRS hounding me for cash. I had to run for my life, when the landlord had construction done while I was there. Unemp has ended. I may go to prison for mnot paying taxes on my unemp. BUT, at least there I will get medical care, or not.  

All those problems, but he still has broadband. Woe is me. If he had mentioned no money for skydiving, he would have hit all the bases.

28. Things are tough. I have no heat, but I do have a roof over my head, which is more than many in my town can say. And more than even some DUers can say. I'm lucky.

Oh, and I purchase a few grocery items at the Dollar Tree some times.  They have some deals there.  I don't do our whole grocery trip there, but I do grab a few things here & there.

Even if the healthcare bill would have been Constitutional, ya really think now, was the time to hoist that onto the country, Obiewan?

You are not alone! Every time I walk in a grocery store I want to break out in a cold sweat.

It might help to remember the next time you DUmbasses call for $10/gal. gas that the truck that brings your food to the grocery store has to run on that same $10/gal. gas that used to cost $2-3/gal.

Also remember, the part of the "industrial/military complex" that produces your Cheetos will be paying 3 times the amount for energy with "cap and trade", and practically everything you use or consume, from pharmaceuticals to coffee cups, will cost more. 

But, you're saving the environment, right!

Yes, they never think about how items actually materialize onto shelves.  Policymakers never do, either.  I think all of them should run a bread route or something once in their lives.  Filling up the truck can take your entire wage/profit for the day. 

I don't know what the OP was crying about, "we even did grocery shopping at the dollar store!!!!!"  I pick up grocery items at Dollar every weekend.  Canned goods, pasta, juice, cereal etc.  It's all the same, what does it matter where you buy it? 

GOBUCKS---an "iggy" list?  I did not know that.
