**Headline:** Colorado Springs Grocer Slashes Prices to Help Families During Government Shutdown

**COLORADO SPRINGS, CO** – As residents face financial uncertainty due to the government shutdown and concerns over SNAP funding, one local business owner is stepping up to ensure no one in the community goes hungry. My Bargain Mart, a grocery store in Colorado Springs, is offering deeply discounted food staples to help families stretch their budgets.

The initiative is led by Jim Krug, the owner of My Bargain Mart, who is driven by a simple mission: to support his community in a time of need. “I want people to be able to take care of their kids and also not go to bed hungry,” Krug stated. “It’s the worst feeling in the world.”

To turn that mission into a reality, Krug has implemented significant price cuts on essential items throughout the store. Shoppers can find basic chickens for just a dollar a pound and beef priced between $2 and $4 a pound. Other deals include bread for 99 cents and condiments starting at only 50 cents. The store is even offering a complete meal package of Sloppy Joe mix and buns for just $2.50.

This Colorado Springs location is Krug’s 12th store, reflecting a business model built on providing affordable options. In addition to the sale prices, My Bargain Mart offers a standing 10% discount for seniors and military personnel. The store also accepts SNAP and EBT payments, ensuring that those who rely on food assistance can take full advantage of the savings.

My Bargain Mart continues to offer these discounted prices to all members of the community.
