so i've got to feed four peoplefor seven days for $140. it's doableif we avoid any frills. so let's start with calories,we need some calories. this bag of white rice is $3.99, but white rice isn't greatfor my kids. it's better to have wholegrains, brown rice. well under our $140 budget, but i think these are goingto last my kids maybe three or four days,not a whole week.
of course,many folks on food stamps won't be able to stock upon bulk items like i just did. they might have busywork schedules and not be ableto prepare that food. they might not even be ableto store it in their small, crampedliving spaces. instead, they'll be forcedto come to a place like this, a bodega that takes food stamps where the prices per unitare much more expensive.
and they'll have to resistthe temptation of buying prepared foods, since those aren'tfood stamp-eligible. do you liveon a food stamp budget? could you liveon a food stamp budget? go to a grocery storeand make a weekly food budget based on the food stampallowance for a single person-- about four dollars a day. how easy is it to havea healthy diet on that budget?
how about you ask your friends to take the food stamp budgetchallenge too? and don't forget thatyou can't use food stamps for things like cleaningsupplies, toiletries and prepared food.
