Desperate Americans shift food shopping to DOLLAR STORES



Welcome to Hunger Games America

With the help of the boom and bust cycles created by the Federal Reserve, the corrupt political Elites force the "lower orders" into debt, unemployment, bankruptcy and poverty. 

Then with freshly printed Fed monopoly money the Oligarchs buy up distressed farms, businesses and homes for pennies on the dollar.



(Natural News) All by design, America is plunging into destitution, bankruptcy and mass famine. Along the path to that outcome, the American people are rapidly shifting grocery purchases away from conventional grocery stores to discount “dollar” stores, where heavily processed shelf-stable and frozen food items can be purchased for $1.25.

Imagine the nutrient depletion in a box of generic pop-tarts sold for $1.25.

Imagine the food safety shortcuts and lack of quality control for a $1.25 frozen pizza that’s sold in a dollar store.

Realize that, for many Americans, dollar stores are the last step on the path to famine. 

If food prices continue to rise — as they are on track to do — the very same people who can barely afford dollar store processed food right now will soon find themselves without food options at all. They will starve.


Grocery sales at discount stores spiked 71%


Or, perhaps more accurately, they will revolt as the hunger kicks in, and they will do anything to try not to starve.

Every nation, it is said, is just nine meals away from anarchy (or a revolution). It’s not difficult to see that’s where all this is rapidly headed.

According to the UK Daily Mail, 61% of Americans are now living paycheck to paycheck. They have zero savings. They have no buffer when it all hits the fan.

Those nearly-broke Americans are increasingly turning to dollar stores to source cheap calories. That same article from the UK Daily Mail explains, “Grocery sales at discount stores spiked 71% between October 2021 and June 2022.”

Meanwhile, retail sales of food items at Walmart, Costco, Sam’s Club and even Amazon.com are dropping. Thanks to food and fuel inflation — Joe Biden’s gift to America — people who could once afford to shop at a regular grocery store are now being forced into dollar stores, where food options are bleak.

“…[O]nly about 2,300 out of the more than 18,000 Dollar General locations carry fresh produce,” warns the Daily Mail. The vast majority of food shoppers are gobbling up heavily processed, nutrient-depleted, low-grade junk food, making them more vulnerable to infections, diabetes, cancer, heart disease and obesity, among other chronic degenerative conditions.

As reported by SHTFplan.com, half the nation is already cutting back on food purchases, hitting a brick wall of non-affordability. Food inflation has become so severe that growing your own food is now almost as good as printing money.

The Hunger Games accurately predicted a corrupt and decadent Elite who lived in extreme wealth while the people were at near starvation.


“What must it be like, I wonder, to live in a world where food appears at the press of a button? How would I spend the hours I now commit to combing the woods for sustenance if it were so easy to come by? What do they do all day, these people in the Capitol, besides decorating their bodies and waiting around for a new shipment of tributes to rill in and die for their entertainment?”

― Suzanne Collins, The Hunger Games
