We don’t have boat loads of money to waste on eating out, however, 3-4 years ago I stopped by a bbq place to pick some up for hubby’s birthday. Saw a sign in the window that they accept EBT cards and that was the end of that. Never went back.
Back in the day, people would take the time to look at unit pricing. Today, they throw $14/lb steaks in their baskets without so much as a glance at the price. I’m the one who’s digging through the reduced shelf, checking the weekly circular against my list, reading nutrition labels, cooking from scratch and budgeting $5 per person per day for food. If it takes 2+ hours in the store, then that’s what it takes but my bill is considerably less than theirs.
Don’t forget the “free” afternoon juice and snack for bus riders. Well, it used to be for bus riders but now it’s for all students. I saw a sign earlier this week just down the road from here where the school drops off hot lunches during the summer. Outrageous school taxes are why we’re on such a strict budget. Freebies for illegals and the EBT crowd!
