In Idaho, a family of 3 can expect food stamps amounting to $900/month! My wife and I are spending close to a third of that much, and we eat pretty well. I can't imagine spending $900/month on food. And we are talking about Mom, Dad and a 2 yr old.
If I spent $900 a month on food, I'd not be cooking much of it myself.
My family is in the $400-ish/month range. We use coupons and shop the sales, but we don't skimp, either.
Looking forward to grilled chops and baked potatoes tonight. MMMMMMMmmmmmmmmm.
