They are free...
Don’t knock it ‘til you’ve tried it.
Many cities have large farmers markets that sell local produce, bulk items like beans, rice, cheese and other fresh food...
Yea, you will buy in larger quantities, but the price can as much as a third verses the supermarket...
We saved two to three hundred dollars a month making that trip...that was 20 years ago...
Oh' they often open up at 4:00 am to 10:00 am...so the restaurants can buy as fresh as possible...
And with rice, beans and hotsauce, an excellent Cajun meal.
On second thought, forget it.
Perhaps you can host a celebrity hunt-&-cook event?
Ted Nugent likes squirrel. Huckabee knows how to utilized a hot-air popcorn maker for squirrel.
Early editions of the "Joy of Cooking" have skinning and cleaning instructions.

When they had food stamps back in the ‘70’s I was a bag boy at Big Star. The people who paid with stamps often bought the best cuts of meat and the most expensive prepared foods. When I told a woman she couldn’t buy canned dog food she shoved the cans aside, huffed off and returned with several steaks an told me “Well f*ck all of you he be eatin’ steak.”
I was recently in a Wal-Mart and the foreign couple in front each paid with their own EBT card. Not only did they buy expensive stuff but they were wearing leather coats, plenty of jewelry and had iPhones.
NY DAILY NEWS writers pretend that people live off SNAP even though these people can have other income: “To qualify, a family of four can have an annual net income of up to $23,556”... yet this fact seems to not penetrate their skulls

Short grain brown rice in a pan of water topped with a vegetable steamer filled with green beans or broccoli. Cook covered gently for about 40 minutes or until water is absorbed. To finished add Italian dressing and Parmesan cheese.

“Anybody gone into Whole Foods lately and see what they charge for arugula?”
“I have about 10,000 squirrels in my neighborhood...”
