So it costs $7 to join. My cupboards are bare. We lost our EBT benefits because of my SSDI. How much will I have to pay for my groceries? This is all new to me. I have to maintain a certain caloric intake and feed a 7 year old.

It varies, it's hit or miss depending on what they have and always check the expiration date. Most things are much cheaper than the regular grocery stores, try Aldi too!

Most of the food is supposed to be about half off of what you pay in the grocery store but sometimes its not. Also, a lot of food is out of date but that's why its cheaper..sometimes you can find not yet expired foods. In the end i find its worth going at least once a month. Btw some churches have food pantries where people can get free food.
