We shopped fresh produce at farmers stands. We bought really good naturally raised eggs in Amish Country at a very reasonable price. And we found several ‘Bent n’ Dent’ stores that have various grocery items at very good prices. Often we find high end stuff at 10 cents on the dollar prices. And we grow our own tomatoes, peppers, squash, beans, lettuce, asparagus, beets etc in a small but very productive garden plot. And we have a peach tree that was prolific...we now have canned peaches to last well into the next season.

How much of that would you have been able to do if you lived in an apartment -- no garden -- and couldn't afford a car to get around and find bargains?

“...and couldn’t afford a car to get around and find bargains?”

Don’t give me that...many of these people drive a much better car than I drive, and they have the where-with-all to have fancy, $200 basketball shoes, etc. And they spend their EBT funds on many things that are not food. They have fancy watches, iphones etc.
