Can you get the benefits loaded directly onto a Starbucks card? Because then I would recommend drinking three big Pike Places per day and making GBS threads black fire out your rear end in a top hat.

Also, lonely single people with one job (like a standard 9-5) have way more time to shop and cook then they think they do. I could def ride my bike to the weird grocery story where they sell a wide variety of good produce for cheap but instead I stand over my kitchen sink and eat microwave pork links.

No no its cool. OP just approach some dumb looking goon in the grocery store and give them a sob story about how you lost your wallet and need gas money, so hey lemme buy your groceries with this SNAP card and you give me some cash for the pump.

Because nothing makes you seem like a trustworthy business partner in a completely legal enterprise more than you selling your handicapped addled grandma's benefits, I loving saw you park in the hc space and come in with her you rear end in a top hat. Yeah lemme commit a felony just to get a discount on my SPAM and tortillas, seems like a good idea. Gram-gram would be so proud of you if she could remember who you are.

For twelve years, you have been asking: Who is John Galt? This is John Galt speaking. I am the man who loves his life. I am the man who does not sacrifice his love or his values. I am the man who has deprived you of victims and thus has destroyed your world, and if you wish to know why you are peris


Lol, nobody's getting 30 years for that poo poo.

Actually, that reminds me that some trashy cashier that I used to work with called DHS because she read the EBT balance on a customer's receipt and didn't like how high their balance was. Like you really think that they don't have computers that track that poo poo and if they thought it was a problem that they'd do something about it? She obviously just didn't like people on assistance and felt like it was her chance to gently caress someone over. Oh and she was lazy as poo poo and incompetent but the fact that she was able to barely hold down a job made her feel superior somehow.

of waiting, after one
long season of wanting
Serious questions:
  • How many people are on your SNAP account?
  • How old are the people on the account, and what are their activity levels?
  • Is $230 your total monthly food budget?
  • Are your SNAP benefits likely to increase or decrease in the near future?
  • What are the local grocery stores like? Eg how fancy are they, do any focus on foreign cuisine, etc.
  • How much time do you guys have to buy and prepare food?
  • What kind of basic kitchen equipment do you have? Eg fridge, microwave, slow cooker, saucepans
  • If any of you need to bring bag lunches to work or school, will you be able to use a fridge or microwave when you're there?

Out here, everything hurts


I had food stamps when I was like 22, single and real poor. I was expecting to get $50 or something but ended up getting $300 monthly.

It was hard for me to spend it all so at the end of every month I'd go to the store and play Supermarket Sweep. I always had so much food on hand.

Then I got a job and my pantry went back to being empty again.

Go to the deli and get like an entire thing of roast beef or turkey. Not sliced, just the whole hunk of meat. Then sit outside with the meat on a stick, biting directly into it and grunting, and snarling at people because you think they want a bite.

They do sliding scale in my state. There was a time where I was technically eligible for about 100 bucks a month. But I already ate basically whatever I wanted and like a king on very little so I didn't bother filling out the paperwork plus I had a soul. Food is cheap as gently caress in America.

Its 1.59 for drum stick and thighs. Although I'd assume a poor could just dress the chicken with their mugging knife.
