I agree Vince. I could be very wrong, but I’d bet the average food stamp user could likely cut $11 from their EVT purchases without much trouble.
Now if they’re a family that has already made the tough cuts, it might be much harder, but like most people in society, I’d bet the average EBT user has some items they buy that could be purchased cheaper (generic) or are not necessary - steak sub burger, etc.
I think it’s a matter of looking and trying. I know we’ve cut our budget by doing similar things.
I think about the ones who had 9 or 10 kids on purpose to collect bennies. That'll be a big chunk and if they start screaming at the baby-daddies (if they know who they are) it could snowball.
