but you do have to use more than one card to pay for your items if you have non chargeable items for welfare/food stamps.
It’s pretty obvious, I’ve been in line several times behind people that get welfare / food stamp debit cards.
If you pay the slightest bit of attention, it is easy to spot.
What grates me is people buying up hundreds of dollars of T-Bones, Ribeyes, Strip Loins, etc on food stamps while I have to bargain shop.
I "clip" electronic coupons.
I plan the rewards program at the store.
Saturday, I spent 1-1/2 hours BEFORE shopping.
I built shelves in a bedroom that is now a large pantry.
90% of what I buy is on sale.
90% of what we eat, is out of the pantry. Most of the time, I have whatever I need for a meal, on hand. Meals most of the time are planned by what's on hand.
Come Thanksgiving/Christmas, that's when the good sales happen. That's when the bulk of my shopping happens. Stock up on things for the year.
All that requires a lot of work and planning.
I don't complain about what I eat. I eat fairly well. But that's because I work at it.
I can't stand slugs, living off food stamps, eating better than me.
And then complain about stuff.
What state do you live in where they give families hundreds of dollars each month in food stamps? That could be part of your problem right there.
