$9.38 per day is current welfare food stamps right now.

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

It’s truthfully heartbreaking.

ramen noodles, rice ect ect...

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.

Just enough for a pound of crawfish

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.

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.

Thus ensuring the survival of the New Iberia Cajun Baw, providing a useful supplement to his copper acquisition.

Single mom and 3 kids?

3 will eat breakfast and lunch for "free" at school. For dinner the mom will have all the high processed snacks foods, cereals, and premade sandwiches they can want. Sodas too.

She'll have a lot left over and sell those for cash. No reason to save any of that for when the kids are out of school. That's what the "summer feeding" program is for!
