I agree. I’ve watched people with the food stamp debit card have grocery bills larger than mine, while we’ve got the same number of kids in the grocery cart. My selection includes canned vegetables and fresh fruit; theirs is little debbie, all soda, and one gallon of milk.
Beans, rice, tuna, milk, OJ, bread, PB and Jelly should be about all those card buy. It shouldn’t even allow purchase of junk food.
You ought to see what the Mainers buy at the local Market Basket on the first weekend of the month...amazing, really.
