An extra $8/month could make a big difference in some folks’ lives, judging by the number of folks in my social circles that need a bit of help to make ends meet at the end of the month.
Just for some perspective, if you bought 2 gallons of water and 3 pounds of rice or beans a month with that $8 (rough estimate based on local prices) after a year you’d have a stockpile of 24 gallons of water and 36 pounds of food, which could possibly be a weeks worth for many families. A week of rations set aside for disaster prep could mean survival in an emergency.
