The hateful/bigotted/racist/heartless comments will be here soon. Or is that just the other OT and PT boards?

It’s truthfully heartbreaking.

What's the question?

I can buy a rotisserie chicken and a salad for $9.38 still. Maybe even a can of green beans.

Cheaper than McDonald's

No it isn't. Stop with this bullshite.

The average cost of groceries for a family of 4 in Louisiana is about 1300 dollars per month.

The maximum SNAP allotment for a family of 4 is about a thousand dollars per month and this assumes there's little to no family income.

People who are broke don't eat quite as well as people who aren't. Who would've thought?

Stick with Great Value, buy shite on clearance and the poors can make up the difference.

We are not all here to support others. Get a job and make up the difference. Everyone is still looking for workers.

Onions, beans, lentils, rice etc. Save veggie scraps to make veggie broth for additional flavor.

Any local coops/community gardens you can partner with boost your supplies?? Work for them after you put in your job apps each day, help each other out. Easier said than done obv. but it always comes back to you.

People are stronger together I believe and it helps to have as many people helping you as possible.

I don't know how this varies by state, but 10 or so years ago my BIL and his baby momma had a baby and an older kid from a previous baby daddy, renting a singlewide behind the Church's Chicken on Oconee street in Athens GA. They were on welfare. They had so many groceries they'd invite us over to take some (my wife and I were also poor at the time). He worked a low wage food service job in walking distance downtown as their sole source of income. They weren't taking vacations or driving nice cars or living in a nice house or saving for retirement, but they sure as hell weren't starving.

Here are the breakdowns of new benefit amounts based on family size from the USDA: USDA

Benefits paid through the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, or SNAP, commonly known as food stamps, are increasing Oct. 1.

The United States Department of Agriculture announced the increased COLA based on the rate of inflation. The year’s changes are based on the Consumer Price Index, or CPI, from the Bureau of Labor Statistics for June 2022. Based on that data, SNAP benefits will increase by an average of slightly more than 3% for 12 months starting in October.

For a family of four, the COLA means benefits of $973 a month, up from the current $939.




Household size 1 - $291
Household size 2 - $535
Household size 3 - $766
Household size 4 - $973
Household size 5 - $1,155
Household size 6 - $1,386
Household size 7 - $1,532
Household size 8 - $1,751
Each additional person adds $219.

Pound of ground beef, box of Dirty Rice mix. Fam of 4 fed dinner easily. You can feed people hot pockets easily, for days. Kids qualify for reduced price/free lunch (in Houston, it's provided even when school isn't in session.)

Or, you could get a job that pays more than $10 an hour to roll pizzas off of the conveyor and into boxes. But nevermind that.

But thank the stars you don't have to dump the $1300 Samsung Galaxy S24 or DirecTV. TikToks must be filmed, and pictures must be snapped for the 'gram, after all.
