Exactly the way it is here. We buy the cheapest, on sale stuff. 50% of sales in my town are from food stamps. So, the local store jacks up the prices because they know the food stampers will pay for it. It completely skews supply/demand when 50% of the demand will pay for whatever due to food stamps.
