10. My DOLLAR TREE just increased their prices on most food items to $1.50 from $1.25 each

Sun Mar 8, 2026, 09:30 PM

Sunday

on my trip there this past week..... making it less of a good deal...

I have been buying quite a bit there the past few months,
depending on the item--- trying to stock up on canned goods and other non-perishables,
before my SNAP gets cut off after this month---

Have to say this makes it less likely that I will continue to buy much there...
After this month, I will limit myself to "bread, milk, eggs and cheese" as much as possible
for the following 21 months until I turn 65 and re-qualify for SNAP
