Cigs $5, bag of potatoes $5.
We are spending $50k per person on the poor and they are still going hungry? Time to identify the real reasons.
I posted something similar on another thread. A #10 bag of potatoes can be had for $1.49 at our Aldi. A #1bag of rice or beans is under one dollar at Walmart. A generic #5 bag of flour or sugar is just under $2.50 each. A container of whole oats is cheaper than, lasts longer than, and is more nutritious than a box of cereal. if I had to feed all five of us (granted baby girl is only six weeks old) for $10/day I could.
Pound box of spagetti, $1.00 on sale.
