I know a couple who were getting food stamps.

$400 a month FOR 2 PEOPLE.I often times work 10-12 hour days, once in awhile 14-15-16 hr days. Seldom 20+.

Often times 6-7 day work weeks.

I get paid a good hourly wage.

But I shop the sales. Whatever meats on sale, at a GOOD sale price, I buy it (sub $3#). I buy canned goods when they are near 50% off. I buy whats on sale, and enough of it, to make it to the next sale.

I work hard at my job, and often times long hours. Then I work hard trying to make my money go farther.

I spend about $200 a month on food for 2 people. And the free loaders get twice as much as I spend. $400 a month for 2 people, there'd be some sirloins and t-bones, instead of ground chuck and chuck roast.

Of course I do like a good roast now and then.

Our neighbor finally got a job in sales. The first week he was finally working his wife brought over some left-over steak and lobster. I said “Wow - celebrating his new job huh?” (And thinking I’d be a bit more conservative after only the first week.)

She said - “No, we’ll be off of the Food Stamps next week so figured we better enjoy the last of it while we can”.
