I was at a local grocery meat dept. trying to figure out how much hamburger I could afford. I watched the woman ahead of me order 4.5 lbs of King Crab legs at $20.00 a lb and three 12 oz filet mignons at $12.99 lb. Saw her when I was checking ou. She got her total then whipped out an EBT card to pay for it.
People think it is an exaggeration or stereotype, but it happens all the time that expensive gourmet items are bought with food stamps. Most poor working slobs only dream of it while they count their hard earned pennies.
