Maybe they should try getting a job. :-)
I don’t get food stamps and I spend about $20/week on food anyway. I don’t know where he’s shopping but this week spaghetti sauce is 88 cents at Kroger. You can get chicken leg quarters for 29 cents a pound in 10 pound bags when they go on sale. Spaghetti 50 cents a pound, tuna 50 cents a can. I get my milk the day before the expiration date for $1.35 a halp gallon, I get day old bread for 50 cents a loaf. Pork is less than $1.50/pound on sale, sometimes it goes down to less than a dollar a pound for Boston Butt. It’s definitely doable, I do it all the time.
