My trip to the grocery store. It appears the R + Trump economy has arrived. [View all]

I went to my regular grocery store in our small-midsized town. The store is small, focuses on healthy food, not overly expensive in most cases. I noticed more shoppers than usual for mid afternoon on a Monday. I also noticed shoppers moving slowly and looking carefully. Baskets contained very few items.

Eggs are enclosed behind glass doors. As I was sharing the space with a Hispanic women who looked very much the age that she would have some children at home. She seemed very sad. She said "They are out of the cheap eggs."

I didn't think of it at the time as I was just focused on my own shopping. But, I deeply regret I did not drop a $20 bill in her basket and tell her to get some eggs.

I think I will try to be more aware and better prepared next time.
