When I was on food stamps and down on my luck
I budgeted and planned my meals so that my pitiful 130 dollars a month would feed me...
I had no money no income and life sucked... but i had foodstamps and could eat...
I would buy big bags of rice and pinto beans and made each cent count...
Foodstamps roll over each month... kinda like unused AT&T mobile phone minutes...
Each month I would try to "save" a few "stamps"
and every 2 months I would buy myself a steak... thats all i got... the only way I could enjoy life... every 2 months...
I didnt abuse the system... i just ate pinto beans and rice... so I could afford a 10 dollar steak once in a while
More people do that you would imagine...
Quoting: Evol Eric Please dont get me wrong, im not saying people should not be able to buy staek once and a while, even if on the government dime. just see alot of abuse lately. Watched someone buy 6 lobsters on ebt the other day. up until recently, i spent maybe $40 a week on food because between school and rent, i could not afford it. but we did not starve and we made it last. just seems that people should be forced to make better decisions if they are getting government assistance. if they are buying whoopee pies, cigarettes or alcohol, maybe they dont need the assistance. ((and yes I know, food stamps don’t buy cigarettes, but the cash on the cars do.)
