trying to eat on the food stamp budget
Panera CEO learns about hunger on his food stamp diet

If people on food stamps shopped in a more responsible manner vs. buy the shit I see them buy when I'm in line at the store, there'd be alot less complaining.
Beans
Rice
Flour
Milk
Eggs
Bread
Veggies
Fruit
Water
You can buy alot of that vs. the more expensive processed garbage they buy. They should put restrictions on what type of foods you can buy.
-
I would say youre not supposed to be living high on food stamps, they should give you enough to get by and nothing else.
It isnt the govts responsibility to make sure your full, just not starving to death.

he hated it

Good idea Wiggs

I see people use EBT at little caesars and jack in the box.

I see a lot folks loading up on steak then paying with a food stamp card, but buying their beer and smokes with the wad of cash pulled out of their pocket.

My gf was behind two healthy adults with a teenager on Sunday and they were buying a bunch of crap with their EBT card. My first issue is why they needed welfare and then what they were purchasing. We have way too many people on public assistance. My guess is that they had a Lexus parked in the lot.

LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I see it also. It's insane that fastfood lets them use it in their places, WTF? It gives no incentive to wanto rejoin the workforce when you're allowed to buy almost the same food items you can with cash. It's pathetic.

I've never seen steaks but I have seen loads of processed junk food and then after they pay for beer with cash. They always have a smirk on their face when they do it too. I wanna slap the shit out of them for having no shame.
I've also seen EBT users leave in tricked out 300s and Chargers.

LOLOLOLOLOL! I wonder what some of these checkers think at grocery stores. It's gotta drive them nuts.

What ever happened to "don't work, don't eat" a little starving wouldn't hurt 50 million lazy fat fucks.....or thin the herd, either works.
-
Stalin starved a lot of people

I remember hearing this several weeks ago. The National Resources Defense Council Stated that Americans waste 40% of the food we buy or 165 Billion dollars worth annually.
The American population is around 308 Million people. The American Heart and Stroke Associate states that 154.7 million people are either overweight or obese.
Do you see the problem we have here?
-
I've been in line with my chicken breasts, fish, veggies, juice, egg whites, and right in front of me is someone using their EBT card for Reese's Pieces and a bottle of soda...
There should be an incentive in eating Healthy....my money paying for bad eating habits, and bad living habits.
-
A l of people sell there food money off at a serious discount too.

Yup. 2:1 for cash usually.

I see fat mom and fat kids at 7-11 all the time buying junk food and sodas. We should have special stores for people on food stamps. They will be stocked with real food, that you have to cook.
-
I saw a Hebrew couple not too long ago at the grocery store.
The male Hebrew was dressed in the best urban clothing money could by, air Jordans, roca wear jeans, diamond earrings...
Lady Hebrew was wearing baby phat blinged out velour track suit....
They had 3, yes 3 carts jammed back....turning heads, I took a glanced to see how they would pay for all that shit.....the lady Hebrew whips out the EBT CARD....baller Hebrews
-
I would see them shopping at Whole Foods w their EBT cards.... we should curtail what they can buy. Wiggs had the right idea earlier
-

funny thing is, the 7/11s near me have bananas, and Naked/Bolthouse Farms drinks and all these health foods...yet the ones in poorer neighborhoods have nothing but sodas, gaterade, sugary drinks, and maybe a banana or two.

years ago, when I lived in Texas, one guy had opened a store that only sold "WIC" items...and the stores only took WIC coupons for payment...so there were no instances of people trying to sneak unapproved items through, no complaints about "these WIC people holding up the line" etc
The whole "rich person pretending to be poor for a week" schtick has been done to death...there was even a very ghey Diff'rent Strokes episode about it.

Why would it matter? They will be getting less for the money there. A Calorie is a Calorie and it should not matter what or where they buy their calories from.

trying to eat on the food stamp budget
Panera CEO learns about hunger on his food stamp diet
He hasn't learned anything....I can easily eat hearty on a 1.25 cents a day. Just buy bulk oatmeal, rice, and beans...get your protein from eggs, buy chicken on clearance and freeze and best of all.....don't forget the ramen noodles......people just don't know how versatile those things are....here's an example of one particular meal that about 35 cents......Ponya Ramen Noodles....
(http://i1.ytimg.com/vi/gTZffjrTR1M/maxresdefault.jpg?feature=og1)
I don't use food stamps but these rich people are walking a tightrope with a net....Poor people don't have one. ::)
-
.35 for that meal? damn.
-
People have forgotten how to eat good for cheap because they can't cook because they've lived on garbage most of their lives.
-
true
-
Asian and Hispanic immigrants know how to eat good for cheap.
-
.35 for that meal? damn.
Its a bulk purchase thing.....I get a 20 pack of Ramen for 2 bucks, 4 dozen eggs for about 5.20, and 1 pound of canned ham for 2.99....green onions are something I grow in my garden so they are free.
I can actually half it to about 15-20 cents by utilizing my coupon notebook. My bill for groceries is about 20 bucks a week...sometimes less
-
pack of ramen for only .10?
-
wow only .15 per meal Vince
great job never even thought about it all like that

You can't eat that everyday, will look like shit. Ops...you got that covered. Ok, carry on.

You fucking moron.....I'm mostly self sufficient being able to grow and store all of my fruits and vegetables along with hunting and fishing. Doesn't take but a well placed couple of bullets and a sharp knife to have months of deer and rabbit meat in the freezer.
Say what you want but when the shit hits the fan, you'll be in the food lines waiting for Obama to give you a fucking handout.
-
vince will survive
-
Vince eats roadkill for dinner. ;D
-

Yep...if you know where to look and you got the right coupons. I've mentioned it before that if you simply write the companies you buy foods from mostly asking for coupons, they'll usually send you a non expiring one that you can infinitely print on your computer
-
vince will survive

fuck all you cheap food stamp bastards go to school to get a good job, hustle or open a business, i eat at nice restaurants and buy good expensive food in the supermarkets and i did not even go to college, As scarface says i want the world chico and everything in it.

You are 100% correct Vince as will 99% of the Americans on this board because they don't heed warnings. I hope this site is still up because I will be a total asshole and go through all posts with "I told you so's" then I'll attach pics of my ginormous stache of everything just to rub it in. It's baffling to me how content, asleep, stupid, ignorant, and stubborn Americans can be. They'll have to find out the hard way. In a FEMA camp or fighting in the streets for food.
Today I even bought 10 packages of various USDA certified organic veggies and fruits. These seeds will be worth alot. But they must be organic.

Good for you. You'll be the first idiot jumping off a building because he didn't prepare and can't take it. lol

So you have a botanical garden, and you and the bitch go out foraging for meat with crowbars and string from the trailer. You have lost your fucking mind.

Wiggs is utterly full of shit.
He probably doesn't even have a bug out bag. I have a bug out bag just because you never know...can't hurt.

I have what is dubbed a "Victory Garden"....basic principles that were exercised during World War I and World War II when food was strictly rationed.
Growing your own food takes a lot of sweat equity and work....its not easy but its worth it.

I wonder if Wiggs has prepared for those roving packs of hebrews?

I will be nowhere near roving packs of anyone. Including Hebrews.

Wiggs....all hostilities aside, are you prepared to kill a thousand innocent people to ensure the survival of yourself and for your loved ones?
I would gladly kill every single person on this board, including those I am friendly with... If it meant food for my kid.

I've got a MUCH bigger problem with the people in the lawmaking houses and the board-rooms than I could ever have with someone getting a couple of bucks a day in foodstamps.
-
...particularly when they're acting to FLOOD our country with illegal workers. Think about that shit.
-
Some of the fags on this thread need to learn how to choose their battles MUCH more carefully.

I agree with this. From a labor perspective immigration only benefits big business and immigrants but screws native workers.

unless you have solar energy, when "shit hits the fan" all that meat in the freezer will go bad---fast.

But, but carefully-chosen battles leave less room for self-righteous indignation and group masturbation.

Yes, bro. But don't forget: we're supposed to be outraged that so-called immigration-reform hasn't taken place (despite 'reform' being nothing more than a slave-labor giveaway to the pigs).
-

The only person on here who can beat your frugal nature is Falcon. Drinking river water and eating clay can never be beat.

You know, I wonder where these guys get their ideas. Are they just echoing their dads, or what?
They need to understand that they're only helping to GUARANTEE a continuation of the problem.
Focusing aim at powerless people does absolutely N-O-T-H-I-N-G.

Sure it does. It distracts people from where they should be focusing their attentions. 'Twas ever thus.

I have a lot of respect for this. A self-providing man is awesome.

Then I'd say it makes for a perfect opportunity to call them out, and make 'em scramble or fight.

mankind hasn't it made it this far by doing such acts. Killing a thousand innocent people who may be able to help ensure your family's long term survival ain't the smartest thing. Working together ensures survival of a "group" or community...some of those people have strengths that you don't.
Would you kill a weapons and ammo supplier to ensure your family's safety, which may not be guaranteed tomorrow? Or the 11 yr old kid who is a good tracker? Too many scenarios...

I've tried to explain this to people but I'm called either a racist or a union loving commie. I was watching the news and I saw Rubio being interviewed and he mentioned that immigrants granted amnesty would not receive ACA benefits. Such a move would only make then even more attractive to business who don't want to pay insurance costs.
-
The problem is this generation is not embarrassed by having to use food stamps and half are long-term government leeches. I'd completely grow my own family's own food before I'd suffer the embarrassment of using food stamps.
-

When the SHTF, I plan on tracking down Wiggs and Falcon and we can roam the wastelands together ala The Road. Did I just use the term "ala"? I should gaybash myself for that. Wiggs will be the Viggo Mortenson, Falcon will be Robert Duvall, and I will be the annoying little kid who questions the morality of every decision Wiggs makes.

decent cheap meal:
- ramen noodle, unflavored
- 1 whole egg
- frozen vegetables
instructions:
put the noodles in boiling water, add the egg and let the egg blend in with the noodles (use a raw egg in its shell),
add the frozen veggies.

I'll tell you, that's all the more reason for a person to place aim on the true problem, which is a government/corporate effort to cultivate something that can only be described as a slave labor supply.
The illegal workers, themselves, are just following the path that's been put in front of them.

Big score for the corporation. Always seems par for the course.

I can't begin to imagine how powerful this country would become if the poor would work. We could kick all the illegals out and save 100's of billions in welfare, food stamps and other entitlements.
