The hidden “dollar store grocery scam” that countless struggling Americans fall for…

...more than 36% of Americans are consuming fast food regularly...

I used to get a Dominos pizza or Taco Bell once a week or so until the St. Floyd riots, when my neighbor with the Sheriff's Dept. told me not to eat at the highway (Coliseum Blvd./930) joints because the little Antifa/BLM sluts were spitting in white people's food. Haven't eaten out anywhere since. I think it's been about three years now.

I don't think I've been to a bar in five years since an ex-GF started haunting the little dive bar I used to hang out at, in New Haven, trying to provoke me. She didn't even drink, just Pepsi or Coke. Now I'll just hang out with friends at their or my house to imbibe. I don't like being around the Vax Zombies anyway. They're too unpredictable. It's too much like being around my mother when the dementia overtook her.

Saved a lot of money.

The only time I go into the dollar store up on the highway is to get birthday or holiday cards for a buck instead of five bucks. I bought some wrapping paper there before Christmas.
