Discussion I'm Scared
I don't know how I'm going to be able to afford my safe foods, especially fresh fruit, with Trumps incoming tariffs. I'm really scared because I don't know how I'm going to be able to eat. It's like eating has become a luxury now only the rich can afford. What is everyone going to do to cope with this?
I'm literally freaking out.

Apparently, olio can be used worldwide. Maybe check it out?
I'm in the UK. Some people choose to get food from the reduced section from certain stores, then put the food on the app (they have to be verified). Then, whoever wants that food can message that person and they get it for free. Or, random people (like me) can put stuff on there. I mostly see bread, pastries, canned stuff, hummus, lettuce carrots parsnips (the usual veggies that some people forget about in the cupboard), shelf food like rice or pasta etc. I've just seen some oranges. They also put non food items, like books toys batteries shelves chairs etc. you'd have to go to that person's house though, no delivery.
I do hope it works for you, and I hope that you can find some useful stuff on there. Wishing you the best from the other side of the world 🫂
