My grocery bill is steadily climbing and I am not sure what to do. I make too much for SNAP. Any tips or tricks? It's just me in my household, so would buying in bulk be worth it?

Edit: I want to thank everyone for their responses. I have a lot to think about.

To be perfectly clear, I care not one whit about legality. It was illegal to harbor Jews, Homosexuals, and Neurodivergent people in Germany in 1937-1945. It is currently illegal in places to give people who are waiting, for hours in the hot sun to vote, water bottles. It is illegal in places to give food to people experiencing homelessness. Not one of those laws has a shred of moral backing.

    Jeez. I agree, but I wasn't going all that deep. I meant it isn't morally right, of course, and also not legal, so I was wondering what crime it is if not theft or shoplifting?

    If he wasn't paid enough during his life to afford food, the morally wrong decision wasn't his.

    Not everyone is a victim. Many are, but assuming someone is "morally right" to just take food without paying for it is also passing judgement. They could just be not willing to pay. A kleptomaniac e.g.

    The only thing we can say is that we don't know until we know them and their life.
