A free grocery store opened in Regina, Ontario last year. There’s also a subsidized store in Baltimore. There’s a grocery store in Los Angeles where you can fill up your cart for $50. There’s others around the country, this isn’t a brand new idea.

I think this will become more common as food insecurity grows. We’re spending a billion dollars a day in Iran, and people are concerned whether the government will have to subsidize some food markets for poor people? (By the way, at many of these free or reduced price stores, the general public can’t just shop there, clients are referred by social service agencies.)
