I hate getting behind someone buying all kinds of junk or high end stuff on those cards. They ain't got jobs so plenty of time to cook from scratch. Better not let me be in charge of it I'd make some major changes.
Drug test tax payer have to take them at their job so tax thieves should too.
Birth control if you can't pay for the ones you got don't need more. IUD for women vasectomy for guys (it is reversible if they want to get off the program). To make it cheaper we will use medical students they need someone to practice on.
Limit what you can buy
Salt
Pepper
Raw veggies
Chicken legs or thighs
Ground beef 70/30
Flour
Milk
Butter
Bread
Cheap cheese
Fruit
Dried beans
Rice
Small quantities of cooking oil
Basically just stuff to cook from scratch
I certainly agree with the grocery list. Its very similar to mine. One problem, most of these folks on EBT/SNAP do not know how to "cook". They know how to prepare, as in re-heat, microve the instant meals, etc.
Recently a friend of mine posted a request for donations, a list of items for the "Back-Pack" program for kids during the summer. The list consisted of Uncle Bens ready-to-eat rice packs, boxes of powdered potatoes, Snack-Pack puddings, ready to eat Jello packs, etc. For gosh sakes! I can't afford to shop this way for my husband and I. :?
These folks need to learn how to "cook". If they learned how to cook, they could make a 3lb bag of rice last a couple of weeks, have waayyy more Jello if make it from the boxes of powder. Etc.
