Like many people, I've really really struggled with basic needs lately.

Many, many grocery stores will give discounts if the product is damaged or subpar. Most don't advertise it.

One great thing my partners (we are a poly family) and I have been doing, if you eat a lot of canned food, you can kind of sneakily dent the cans yourself. If you go to the register with a dented can, you can get it for the fraction of a price at most stores. Don't be afraid to do this. Many people do it.

You just kind of smack the can against your cart. It's super easy and we've saved tons.

Bless everyone.
