The Need For A Free Ride Must Be In The Air...

"EBT" cards are already in the southern states.

WIC still gives the formula, cheese, rice, dried beans, juice and a few other items on vouchers. They have to hand over the voucher even if they only buy one thing on that list so they just get it all.

I have had more than a few to offer those in lieu of payment.

The grocery stores have started to ask for ID since they have to be signed by the recipient and the media/ACLU is trying to say that is unconstitutional.... Go figure....

I so agree with you plus the fact that those corn based food are cheaper doesn't help any!~

I know.... I wasn't refering to momofsix's post, sorry... Her family did think to contribute...

I just meant the sentiment you posted and refered it back to OP's issue....obviously very poorly ::::

Been a long night, here...

NP, My comment was meant for momofsix comment, not the others.

I think she should be reported that she was offering to do so. And that she stated she only uses 400 of the 800 and will sell them elsewhere.

If you even have the information on her to report her.

It disgusts me, because so many people have entitlement issues.

And it really bothers me when some of these people (not all just a few bad apples) would rather spend the least amount on food, buy the crappiest junk out there, so their kids eat KD and weiners and just garbage! everyday, so mom or dad have more spending money.

We struggle in my house, do our best to make sure our children receive the best nutrition they can. Unfortunately that is not always possible. I know last year there was something on the news about how most people/families eat too much junk foods because they compared the price of fruits/vegs to chips/snacks. I have noticed within the last 6 months things like Kraft dinner and other raunchy foods have increased in price, while the fruits/vegs/ meats have stayed pretty much the same, and some have even reduced in price.

I know I can only buy a case of kd when it goes on sale! Otherwise I cannot afford it!

what is KD?

We try to eat healthy without going nuts over it...my kids eat mac n cheese and chicken nuggets sometimes, I don't think it will kill them to do so, as long as it isn't daily.

I've found a way to keep b*tching at a minimum when it comes to dinner time. We eat out on Monday nights, so that leaves 6 dinners to be made at home. I pick 2, DH picks 2, and DS picks 2, and wee-man the 14 month old will eat anything

So, if my son picks mac n cheese, green beans, and chicken nuggets one night (and he will!) I don't fret over it because my 2 choices are healthy, and DH makes healthy-ish choices, and it's all in moderation
