Even in rural areas, it can be difficult to buy wisely if you don't 
have a car. I live nine miles from the nearest grocery store. Some of 
my elderly non-driving neighbors have to shop at the local gas 
station/convenience store unless someone is generous enough to take 
them into town to the supermarket. Everyone's situation, and 
understanding, is different.

But, on a more cheerful note, I'm seeing more and more on the local 
news about saving money on food by actually preparing meals from raw 
ingredients. If the current situation persists, that kind of 
programming will continue.
