Message Subject More Americans Will Use Food Stamps For Thanksgiving This Year Than Ever Before
Poster Handle KoFFee_
Post Content
After my parents divorce, my father remarried a woman who had 4 children.

Add that to the five of us we were one big family of ten!
We always had financial struggles, but all ten of us always had plenty at Thanksgiving.

My stepmother learned many ways of stretching food and making inexpensive, yet, nutritional meals.

We always had a 22-24 lb. Butterball turkey, cooked in a small apartment size electric oven.

All 4 of us girls would help my stepmom make the bread stuffing.

We did get free powdered milk, blocks of cheese and canned peanut butter from a food bank, but that's about it.

Our juice was always watered down and our milk was extended by using the powdered stuff.

She knew how to make 1001 recipes using hamburger.

Hot dogs and baloney sandwiches were eaten frequently.

I know food prices have risen and product packaging has shrunk, but I still think we can still eat healthy without having to spend too much.

The last five years of my husband's life were hard on us.
We did go on food stamps during that time. I hated it!

Mainly because there was too much paper work and follow-up that needed to be done every 3 months. They needed to know everything about you.

The first thing I did after my husband passed on, was stop the food stamps. I do not like to rely on the government for anything.

It has still been a struggle, but with God's help, I'm surviving.

Our government has become a givernment.
