Even grocery stores in poor neighborhoods charge more

"Grocery stores"

Buddy of mine is going through a divorce. Wife crashed his car the day she told him about her affair. Selling their house now, he's in it (carless) and going through a divorce.

The choices for grocery shopping in less than an hour walk from his house are a Family Dollar and a Cumberland Farms (a gas station). And they are both literally uphill both ways.

How the fuck can people be healthy on that?

His house isn't even far out in the boonies. It's maybe like a quarter mile off a main road. My house is way worse for that. I don't even think I could buy food within a walkable distance. Maybe eggs and milk from a backyard farmers but that's it.

Ah yes your comment represents the convergence of suburbanhell and capitalisthell!

Yeah they charge more, have less variety, and have fewer sales (discounts). A friend of mine did a (unpublished for an undergraduate course) study on it and the differences between stores even a half mile away are just crazy.
