Dear DoodleDawg,

Your prices are high! It isn't usually too hard to find steak for less than $10 per pound. But even so, I quickly googled and found in my state, the average food stamp benefit is $127 per month. A family of four could easily be receiving $500 per month in benefits. Some folks receive more.

Thus, a cart with 50 lbs. of [expensive] steak is plausible.

Not around me, KC metro area. Even 85% lean ground beef pushes five bucks a pound.

If they burn up their entire food stamp allotment for the month, yes.
