I sure wish grocery prices would go down

If I knew how to get in touch with President Trump I would do it right now, today.

I am an elderly widowed woman trying to survive on social security and today I was going to place a food (and goods) order to be delivered from Walmart.  I usually never shop at walmart but they are the only ones who will deliver.  But - - I was forced to go back and change my order 3 times in order to stay within my budget, but I was only able to get less than 1/2 of the stuff I needed.  Trump keeps saying prices will go down BUT WHEN?  I'm not sure how much longer I can survive on this income and still have enough for food.  I was going to order some coffee this time but I ended up with those instant coffee crystals because I could not justify the coffee prices, along with a few other things that I really needed but had to forego.

If he's gonna do this I wish he'd make it a priority.

I know - - - bitch, bitch, bitch.  But it's hard to be old anyway and then with roadblocks like these it's twice as hard.  At least we can still get things but I'm not sure how much longer this will last either.  Walmart puts an extra $100 charge on my checking account until the debit card clears their system (which is something they SHOULD do before they even fill the order) so then it takes about 10 or 12 days for that to get cleared up so for 1/2 of a month I'm without that extra money to pay my bills, so then I get behind on my regular bills (which I still have to pay until my house sells). I was talking to my son this morning and he's been in touch with the realtor for my house and he told my son they've have a few showings in the past week but no bites yet.  It's in such a great location for people with kids because we are close to elementary, middle school and high school right in this area, which is one of the reasons we bought the house in the first place.  The other reason was the double garage which my husband fell in love with.  I didn't want to move out but my kids decided I should and just started packing up my stuff.
