name some kinds of food seen bought in stores with food stamps?

Question

Why is it that food stamp shoppers eat far better than I can afford to?

Answer 1

I eat a lot of steak and shrimp with my $30 a month food stamps.. I can't even afford to buy fruits and veggies. I live on lunchmeat and hot dogs (when they are on sale)..I acn't even afford to buy ground beef.. So, unless u are living on nothing but bread and water, I promise u that u are eating better than me..NOT everyone abuses the system... I have tried many times to better myself but the govt punishes. Illegals eat a lot better than US citizens.. they can get hundreds of dollars month and nobody even check on them.. I have to prove everytime I make $1 so they can cut my stamps by $5..

Answer 2

If you foolish people don't think illegal aliens can and do get food stamps,section 8 and welfare.They get it the same way they get jobs with stolen,forged.fake,bought identification.The illegal way they do everything. You get this holier than tho attitude and tell this person to get a better job or insult him .When is it going to be your turn? When will you have to wonder where your next meal is coming from.You cant all have great jobs making all kinds of money or you couldn't be on YA everyday. Illegal aliens do not belong in this country.They belong in the nation they ran away from that didn't give them handouts and freebies. Most of them left a job in their home nation to enter the USA illegally.There are millions of legal American citizens that are unemployed or their income has not kept up with the high costs of everything .Gasoline,food,housing taxes all up personal income down.People that have never known poverty before are now part of it. Hell no Americans cant live 20 or more people in a small apartment or house with one bathroom.We have never had to and we will not have to do this. No illegal aliens aren't the sole cause for this but they have NO right to be here.They lower wages by working for peanuts and get things free that legal citizens cant get. I hope you get through this trying time,hopefully the economy will improve and many legal citizens can recover from this. All illegal aliens need to be sent back to their own country. They should not be Americas problem.

Answer 3

Because it's not their hard-earned money that is buying the food, and they know they will get the same amount every month - and if they need more than the food stamps will buy, they will use their own money. Some people that use them are conservative with them, but I think some just go wild and buy whatever they feel like eating when they go shopping.

Answer 4

The better question is...

"Name some foods that people had rung up seperately from their food stamps. The stuff food stamps allowed them to afford."

Get a job.
Buy food.
No Job
Food Stamps

Is that reparations?

Answer 5

This is true. I often see mothers with six dirty kids pushing two carts full of crap food and all of it is paid for in food stamps. It gets worse. Sometimes I see where they have a food stamp debit card, and it allows them to get cash out. They then promptly purchase some Friday night liquor and smokes with the cash. A few times I have made it a point to say "your welcome" but, since I value my personal safety, tis rare.

Answer 6

you can get anything you can afford with your card it is just that you have to get the food you can afford because you dont get alot of money for each person in your family

Answer 7

Go look in your pantry. You whine and moan so much about welfare, did they deduct something? Get up off your lazy backside and go to work.

Answer 8
