Interesting.  I didn't read it.

Short of living in Uganda, how is such a food budget possible?

I already stated in the article that there is no issue with eating out or buying pre-made meals but this is a guide to reducing the cost of meals by purchasing base ingredients in bulk.  However , you indeed live off these items and you would be quite surprised as to what I can whip up.


The reason I wrote the article is for a resubmission as part of a bill to eliniminating SNAP (food stamps)into providing essential foods directly.  By doing so, it will allow poor families to be much healthier and save billions of dollars.  The majority of food stamps is used to buy junk food anyway.  You can even use food stamps at McDonalds.....complete bullshit.  Lindsey Graham thought it was a good idea when I sent him the original one but it never came to pass.  Hopefully this time will be more successful although I dont like him anymore

You can make a wide range of foods...so many that you'll never get bored.  You'll find all of these ingredients in just every fancy restaurant you go to.

So you think people who have money to invest are coming to your website to learn how to eat on $30 a month?

Again it’s a very well thought out article but it’s extreme, not practical. People without money will use food as a coping mechanism and let’s not forgot many count on government assistance so money for food isn’t an issue.

It’s a good example of where money can be saved just by budgeting. Keep up the good work.

I cant see where this is extreme.  I will say its more tight but far from extreme if you can read a cookbook.  I also dont care if food is used as a coping mechanism.  I dont want to use my tax dollars for someone to sit at home eating candy bar.  If they want to cope. They can do some pushups

I'd buy as many whole eggs as you can for $30 and eat only eggs... and the fast the rest of the days in between.

It’s good you want your people to rise up of welfare bro

But what you don’t know is them being on welfare  for  multiple generations is my fault

Yes  a 40 year man who grew up in Southern California with opportunities abound by all

No matter the race


But the fact is it’s all whiteys fault they want their gobment cheese bro

You think aunt jamima with her 7 kids I’d gonna cook , let alone with discipline ?

Gluttony , black on black crime

All my fault

But it’s a noble cause

The fight your trying to fix isn’t in money related

It’s cultural

Write a paper on cultural problems in blacks

No father figure

No culture

Blaming others ,zero accountability

You could give every snap recipient 10 k a month

They would be  not only broke but  in massive debt , and lots of criminal charges in less than a year

Well let me ask who you wrote it for then?

People on welfare aren’t looking to save money by cutting their food budget, food stamps or snap cards are free money.

If you wrote it for low income people not on assistance it is extreme. You’ve never lived a week on this diet, let alone a month.

Pooh yes I did and it was much more extreme than this one in which I spent about 15 dollars a month.  I had to save enough money to move away from Sylva to Greenville very quickly.  No chicken....just a lot of plain bread, beans, rice and oatmeal.  I did what I had to do.

I read it. I definitely made me more aware of how much money I waste on food. I can spend much less and eat much more healthy. I just have to discipline myself more
to cook at home more. I mean, I don't make it easy. I'll cook a bunch of rice and chicken (I like the chicken tenderloins) and then put them in the freezer and just warm up what I need. Also, I buy those mixed frozen vegetables so I include that too. But often even that, cooking for the week, I tend to put off and then wind up eating out during the week. But I am doing my weeks cooking right now and I just defrosted the chicken and the Foreman is heated up and the rice cooker is going full steam so time to get at it.

Enjoy fellow Getbiggers

https://goodrumgroup.com/index.php/2020/12/06/how-to-spend-30-dollars-a-month-or-less-in-groceries/

Very interesting. I'm not sure how much I spend on groceries in a month. My guess is that it is more than $30. a lot more. In fact I went to Market of Choice, a neighborhood market, last week for a few items (all of which fit in one bag) and spent over $100. Food is not something I chintz on. A pint of McConnell's Turkish Coffee ice-cream which is a favorite of mine, costs about $9 at the store and $12 online. CB's Nuts, my peanut butter of choice runs $8 to $12 a pint. The ingredients are ground peanuts....period. I buy smoked salmon spread made fresh at the local fish market.

Because I don't always feel like cooking, I buy Amy's or Evol frozen entree's. I don't considered eating out or getting take-out (since restaurants are restricted to take-out only right now in Oregon) as part of my grocery bill even though I get used to eat out and now get take out very often....specially for lunch since I have pretty much never packed a lunch for work. Eating out is much more interesting and tasty than eating a soggy sandwich you packed hours earlier. I am not opposed to fast food takeout from places like Burgerville, Subway, Baja Fresh and Panda Express. The other night we celebrated a birthday by ordering take out from Olive Garden. It was just as good as eating at the restaurant, only quieter.

I can be a total cheapskate about some things but never when it comes to food. I get that you can eat healthy and not spend a fortune. One of the problems I've found is that buying for one is never going to be as cheap or easy as buying groceries for a family. Can't tell you how many loaves of bread I've tossed because I couldn't use them up fast enough. A head of lettuce is a lot of lettuce for anyone to consume before it goes bad unless you eat lettuce for breakfast lunch and dinner.

Your article is interesting but not at all appetizing, sorry. I like rice but just how much rice can someone eat before they get sick of it. Freezing scrambled eggs sounds gross. Scrambling eggs right is an art. They should be moist and creamy but not runny. The best way to scramble eggs I've found is to do it on very low heat so that they thicken slowly and add some butter at the finish. It takes a bit of patience, but damn is it worth it.

That's exactly what its suppose to be....survival.  No more money wasted on food stamps...shit cost billions for them to buy candy bars and fast food.  My plan just provides appropriate provisions.  It's more food than people got as rations for WW1 and WW2.  We can use the extra farm subsidies for supplies.  Each family gets an even portion....if they want more then they can fucking go work for it

that's how pathetic they are

shaking up in a little apartment like 5 of them in greenville

mom grandma whomever

just remember this,

anything melvin tells you,

go in opposite direction, and that's closer to the truth

like the summer of George on Seinfeld , he does the opposite of what he types here  of and that's what he really does

why do you think he is fat, broke,  and a compulsive liar?

good news is verizon may give him a "parachute package" in the spring when they let all of the phone jockeys  go

could be like 500k with stock , and a new car

Vince is right.  I get a kick out of people pushing these breakfast programs for low income kids.  You can feed a kid breakfast for 50 cents a day.  half cup of oatmeal, half a banana.  If you don't have 50 cents for breakfast for your kid, you're pretty pathetic.

That's exactly what its suppose to be....survival.  No more money wasted on food stamps...shit cost billions for them to buy candy bars and fast food.  My plan just provides appropriate provisions.  It's more food than people got as rations for WW1 and WW2.  We can use the extra farm subsidies for supplies.  Each family gets an even portion....if they want more then they can fucking go work for it

No, one serving of oatmeal is 8.16 cents and a cup of oatmeal is a good portion.  I have one cup with a sliver of butter and salt the old fashioned way....I'll have 2 cups or 16.32 cents if I'm really hungry.  These are things I do every day...oatmeal is good for you

The fatal flaw in your "plan" is that nobody is going to follow it.

I think it's a reasonable plan for someone who is desperate to save money, but do you honestly think anyone is going to give up their free government funds to eat like this?

The only way people would eat like this is if they forced to, which i think they should. I think if you're on government assistance you shouldn't get to buy what you want. In fact, if all the leeches were forced to eat this diet until they got off of the government tit, we'd be a better country and they might learn to take care of themselves.

You know none of these "types" of people want to "work" for anything Vince.

It’s good you want your people to rise up of welfare bro

But what you don’t know is them being on welfare  for  multiple generations is my fault

Yes  a 40 year man who grew up in Southern California with opportunities abound by all

No matter the race


But the fact is it’s all whiteys fault they want their gobment cheese bro

You think aunt jamima with her 7 kids I’d gonna cook , let alone with discipline ?

Gluttony , black on black crime

All my fault

But it’s a noble cause

The fight your trying to fix isn’t in money related

It’s cultural

Write a paper on cultural problems in blacks

No father figure

No culture

Blaming others ,zero accountability

You could give every snap recipient 10 k a month

They would be  not only broke but  in massive debt , and lots of criminal charges in less than a year

Cranium related rather than cultural

I suspected that was what you meant. I would not have known this much about Ramen noodles except for the fact like my wife watched the food network daily and they did a special limited series about Ramen.

I think I've only tried the packaged Ramen noodles one or two times. It was like drinking salt water with worms floating in it. At least cut up and add some fresh vegetables so that it becomes marginally healthy. Udon and Soba noodles are healthier and much more interesting than Ramen noodles.

I eat very well using my methods of buying in bulk....and I have plenty of variety.   You can apply the same technique to other meats such as beef and pork.   Don't want beans???  Get a sack of potatoes.  Buy bananas one week and dehydrate them...next week get kale or asparagus.   Mixing it up doesn't change the cost that much and you're still saving tons of money

Stricter restrictions to SNAP programs isn't a new idea, but one of the biggest things holding it back is just that it would be a mess to implement. Even if we accepted that there is a such thing as a standard healthy diet (which is debatable), what constitutes a healthy food? The amount of fat in a single serving? The amount of carbs or salt? Avocados and nut products can have more fat than a lot of junk foods. Some cuts of meat are more than 60% fat. To make bread, some sugar is required. So what separates a healthy food from junk food? New food is introduced all the time, and all of that shit would have to be reviewed for whether or not it would be eligible for purchase or not.

On top of that is the matter of accessibility. Food insecurity is often linked with homelessness, or at least domestic instability. For benefits recipients, buying processed food isn't strictly a matter of buying the gnarliest fast food they can get their hands on, it's often the result of not even having the resources to prepare a home-cooked meal. Some don't have kitchens or pantries, which would prevent them from storing and preparing food. For them, the only option is to buy food that can be eaten as it is bought or that requires minimal preparation.

Additionally, the reality is that "junk food" is often the wisest choice for people with fixed food budgets. While processed food doesn't usually fit anyone's definition of healthy, it's often extremely calorie dense for the price, shelf/freezer stable, and more readily available in areas with higher benefits usage. And a big part of why they are so affordable is because of the insane subsidies these industries get.

In general, I'm not on the same page as the rest of GB that food insecurity programs should be as punitive as possible.

On top of that is the matter of accessibility. Food insecurity is often linked with homelessness, or at least domestic instability. For benefits recipients, buying processed food isn't strictly a matter of buying the gnarliest fast food they can get their hands on, it's often the result of not even having the resources to prepare a home-cooked meal. Some don't have kitchens or pantries, which would prevent them from storing and preparing food. For them, the only option is to buy food that can be eaten as it is bought or that requires minimal preparation.

Additionally, the reality is that "junk food" is often the wisest choice for people with fixed food budgets. While processed food doesn't usually fit anyone's definition of healthy, it's often extremely calorie dense for the price, shelf/freezer stable, and more readily available in areas with higher benefits usage. And a big part of why they are so affordable is because of the insane subsidies these industries get.

In general, I'm not on the same page as the rest of GB that food insecurity programs should be as punitive as possible.
Lot of inaccuracies and generalities in your comment.  Out of the 40 million people on snap, what % don't have a kitchen or access to a kitchen?  Do you have those numbers?  You also talk about the "insane" subsidies that keep fast food/junk food cheap.  While I'm 100% against subsidies, these subsidies do little to keep prices low.  The wheat subsides give farmers around 50 cents per bushel of wheat.  1 bu. of what could make 60-70 loaves of bread.  Same thing with sugar.  Sugar would be cheaper if the government wasn't involved by using quotas and subsidies.

Stricter restrictions to SNAP programs isn't a new idea, but one of the biggest things holding it back is just that it would be a mess to implement. Even if we accepted that there is a such thing as a standard healthy diet (which is debatable), what constitutes a healthy food? The amount of fat in a single serving? The amount of carbs or salt? Avocados and nut products can have more fat than a lot of junk foods. Some cuts of meat are more than 60% fat. To make bread, some sugar is required. So what separates a healthy food from junk food?

Peanut butter is calorie dense and shelf stable.   Stop making excuses for people who waste their SNAP benefits because it hurts children the most in serious health problems.   Kids shouldn't be eating Kentucky Fried Chicken every day but they are.

Lot of inaccuracies and generalities in your comment.  Out of the 40 million people on snap, what % don't have a kitchen or access to a kitchen?  Do you have those numbers? 

The premise of this thread is built on generalizations. The majority of recipients aren't buying mcdonalds and kfc. That's not even possible to do in most areas. The majority cycle off of these programs after relatively short periods. A large portion are working. Food insecurity programs are meant to support the worst off in society, so it's perfectly reasonable and realistic to include consideration for the worst off because that is who the program is meant to benefit.  Homelessness and poverty are not small problems and SNAP targets people experiencing those issues, so in the context of the rest of what's been posted, it's really a strawman to say "what are the statistics" on that particular point.

I've talked about the volunteer work I do on here before and most of it has been with lower income/homeless services. A large portion of the homeless clients are on SNAP and almost none of them utilize pantry services. When they do, you can sit their watching them unpack the boxes, taking out anything that didn't fit in their bag easily or needed to be refigerated, and just leaving the majority of the stuff behind on the table. Most of their diet is soup kitchens and stuff they can get at delis with SNAP. At points in the past, I've helped individuals and families transition off of the streets or tried to keep them from moving into homelessness, which frequently involved securing them sros where they didn't have access to full kitchens. In many situations, families were renting out single rooms in apartments where they had a single shelf in a shared fridge and a single shelf in a cupboard to store food items. In those cases, buying fresh and buying in bulk are not realistic options.

No one is living on a diet of peanut butter.  ::)
Just because something is information you don't like, doesn't make it an excuse.  I actually do support SNAP reform, but I don't think making it the most austere program possible is the answer.

no you cant, you fucking g.e.d hopeful.

here is the bill that failed this year

https://panetta.house.gov/sites/panetta.house.gov/files/documents/2020.April_CongressmanPanetta_Legislation_SNAPCARRYAct.pdf

https://ask.usda.gov/s/article/Can-I-buy-food-at-restaurants-with-Supplemental-Nutrition-Assistance-Program-benefits-For-SNAP-Clien

here's direct intro from the usda

\You cannot use your Electronic Benefits Transfer (EBT) card at restaurants to purchase hot food or food intended for immediate consumption unless your State participates in the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) Restaurant Meals Program (RMP) that serves the elderly, disabled, and/or homeless, and you are part of this target population. Generally restaurants are ineligible for authorization to accept SNAP benefits as a form of payment.

https://www.theatlantic.com/health/archive/2011/09/using-snap-benefits-for-fast-food-restaurants-is-a-state-decision/245085/


Since 1977 the decision to establish a restaurant meal program has been made by only a handful of states and because of this participation is very low.

As noted in your article, California, Arizona, and Michigan are operating State-administered restaurant programs serving their elderly, homeless, and disabled populations. Rhode Island began a limited pilot restaurant program on August 1, 2011. However, you also mention Florida without providing the facts to your readers. In 2009, Florida began operating a pilot program in one county and has a total of only 14 restaurants participating. Furthermore in Florida this option is ONLY available to the homeless. To date, Florida has not expanded that pilot.

So you respond with more generalizations?  Do you know the average length people stay on food stamps?  How often are the cycling on and off?

Not in Hawaii, which is a pretty generous welfare state. The only fast food place here in Hawaii that you can use an EBT is the pizza place Papa Murphy, but that's only because they don't cook the pizza. They make it for you but you have to take it home and cook it yourself. I never got that business plan as what's the point of eating out if you still have to cook but it's pretty popular.

They weren't generalizations. It was an acknowledgement that stuff that's being treated as conventional wisdom in this thread is not accurate. It's not a generalization to say most aren't buying McDonald's and KFC because that's not even possible for most.  As certain as you are that no one on SNAP works, you can easily find evidence to the contrary with a few quick google searches:

https://www.census.gov/library/stories/2020/07/most-families-that-received-snap-benefits-in-2018-had-at-least-one-person-working.html#:~:text=About%20a%20Third%20of%20Families,Two%20or%20More%20People%20Working&text=In%202018%2C%2012%25%20of%20the,in%20the%20previous%2012%20months.

Quote
More than three-quarters of those families had at least one person working and about one-third included two or more workers, a clear indication that many families that rely on nutritional assistance worked.

You can also cook a thick steak in a cast iron skillet. After you sear the meat on all sides leave the steak in the skillet and put it in a 'hot' 400 degree oven for a given time depending on how done you like it. My preference is rare to medium rare. 5 minutes does the trick.

I eat very well using my methods of buying in bulk....and I have plenty of variety.   You can apply the same technique to other meats such as beef and pork.   Don't want beans???  Get a sack of potatoes.  Buy bananas one week and dehydrate them...next week get kale or asparagus.   Mixing it up doesn't change the cost that much and you're still saving tons of money.

The first meal pictured shows what looks like about 6-8 oz of large shrimp which currently runs over $9.00 a pound frozen, more if fresh. Because of Covid-19 shrimp right now is not very available.

Is it even possible to buy asparagus in bulk? If you can, how do you keep it fresh (retain its nutrients) for 30 days?

Many fresh vegetables only stay fresh for a day or two. Many vegetables are available frozen. Did you know that in many cases, frozen vegetables are actually fresher than what you get in the produce section of your store.

Most so-called fresh vegetables and fruits are harvested before they've completely ripened to allow for the time it takes to ship them to the retailer. Unripe fruit and even vegetables don't bruise as easily during transport. Unfortunately flavor is sacrificed even though they continue to ripen after being picked. Anyone who has eaten home grown fruits and vegetables knows this.

Let's say you have 6 oz of meat once a day at the average cost of $2.00 per pound, you would spend $22.50 a month on one part of one meal. That doesn't leave much money for other products and other meals.

How much did all that cost? Monthly budget?

it was from whole foods so guessing:
$15 for the steak
$4 asparagus
$2 potato
$5 cake

$25 bucks? but way better than what I would get a restaurant and I love to prepare food 

my monthly food bill is not that expensive... but I do not eat garage food or low end calories. the most important thing you can do for your body; is the food you consume. I wish I would have said that when I was 24 years old!

I know welfare is different everywhere, but it's bordering on the ridiculous in some cases.

I know of several people living very comfortable lives on welfare. One guy I know is a registered carer for his "disabled" mother. They both have their own welfare paid for rented accommodation and he receives around $25k per year in welfare to spend on whatever he wants. To live as well as he does you'd need a job that pays $50k per year. He however only spends like an hour a day caring for her and the rest of the day he's free to do whatever. He is basically earning $135/hr

They need to drain the swamp and send everyone to the fucking soup kitchens.

Papa Murphy's pizza is passable in terms of quality. The customer pretty much picks out the toppings and type of crust. Pizzas from the market are okay, but the selections are limited and they aren't much less expensive than those from Papa Murphy's. Cooking it at home has some benefits, mainly that the pizza is fresh baked and hot if you eat it right after it comes out of the oven. Take out cooked pizzas leave a lot to be desired IMO, even when you have them delivered.

Eating pizza out at a place that knows how to fix a delicious pizza, is ideal. It isn't always convenient to go out to eat. Of course right now with Covid-19 restrictions in Oregon, eating out is not an option.

If the state paid a caregiver to come in to assist his mother, would it cost more, the same or less? Is the son also disabled and on social security disability? If not, does he work outside the home? In most, if not all, states subsidized rent is not easy to get for a couple of reasons, there is a shortage subsidized rentals and your income must be pretty low to qualify for it. My disabled sister's income is less than $25,000 a year and she doesn't qualify. Moreover, there is an enormous shortage of subsidized units available.

Of course, there are a few people who scam the system and get more than they are entitled to. If they get caught they are subject to fines, restitution and even incarceration.

If the state paid a caregiver to come in to assist his mother, would it cost more, the same or less? Is the son also disabled and on social security disability? If not, does he work outside the home? In most, if not all, states subsidized rent is not easy to get for a couple of reasons, there is a shortage subsidized rentals and your income must be pretty low to qualify for it. My disabled sister's income is less than $25,000 a year and she doesn't qualify. Moreover, there is an enormous shortage of subsidized units available.

Different country, different welfare rules. They rent privately, but it's fully covered by additional housing welfare payments. Going by the area they live in, I'd guess the amounts are around $300-$350 each per week. He has power of attorney so gets his mums welfare (disability) payments coming to him, plus whatever payments he gets. Point is he does nothing but spend an hour a day helping his mum, lives an extremely comfortable life and is flush with cash. All paid for by the tax payer.

Even if he had some kinda scam going on and got caught, I doubt he'd get more than a slap on the wrist. No jail time because his mum would be left without a "carer".

Makes sense. I didn't realize you were talking about a situation in a different country. Having said that, I've heard and read the same complaints from people unhappy with what they believe is a too generous welfare system in the U.S.

What would be amusing if it wasn't so maddening is that sometimes the people doing the complaining are actually on welfare themselves, scamming the system and then they have the gall to point the finger elsewhere.

I actually know a mother and daughter who've been doing this for years. I keep thinking that the jig will be up when something goes array, like when the bank was going to foreclose on the townhouse the mother inherited from her mother free and clear and then borrowed against the equity. Last I heard, they were years behind in their HOA fees and facing a civil suit from the homeowner's association because of it.

you cant buy kfc with snap benefits, you cant buy any prepared or hot food unless you're elderly, disabled or are homeless and that's only in like 2-3 states

Sorry bro but you’re wrong.

Use google, because for the last decade people have been able to use their snap cards at select fast food restaurants.

here is the bill that failed this year

https://panetta.house.gov/sites/panetta.house.gov/files/documents/2020.April_CongressmanPanetta_Legislation_SNAPCARRYAct.pdf

https://ask.usda.gov/s/article/Can-I-buy-food-at-restaurants-with-Supplemental-Nutrition-Assistance-Program-benefits-For-SNAP-Clien

here's direct intro from the usda

\You cannot use your Electronic Benefits Transfer (EBT) card at restaurants to purchase hot food or food intended for immediate consumption unless your State participates in the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) Restaurant Meals Program (RMP) that serves the elderly, disabled, and/or homeless, and you are part of this target population. Generally restaurants are ineligible for authorization to accept SNAP benefits as a form of payment.

https://www.theatlantic.com/health/archive/2011/09/using-snap-benefits-for-fast-food-restaurants-is-a-state-decision/245085/


Since 1977 the decision to establish a restaurant meal program has been made by only a handful of states and because of this participation is very low.

As noted in your article, California, Arizona, and Michigan are operating State-administered restaurant programs serving their elderly, homeless, and disabled populations. Rhode Island began a limited pilot restaurant program on August 1, 2011. However, you also mention Florida without providing the facts to your readers. In 2009, Florida began operating a pilot program in one county and has a total of only 14 restaurants participating. Furthermore in Florida this option is ONLY available to the homeless. To date, Florida has not expanded that pilot.

This is from April of this year.

Michigan and Illinois also allowed EBT/snap card to be used at KFC and McDonald’s as of 2018.

Right in the quote you posted, he has "elderly, disabled and homeless" bolded, highlighted and enlarged. It also says that at your link.

You have to qualify for benefits and then qualify for a separate program.

The first meal pictured shows what looks like about 6-8 oz of large shrimp which currently runs over $9.00 a pound frozen, more if fresh. Because of Covid-19 shrimp right now is not very available.

Is it even possible to buy asparagus in bulk? If you can, how do you keep it fresh (retain its nutrients) for 30 days?

Many fresh vegetables only stay fresh for a day or two. Many vegetables are available frozen. Did you know that in many cases, frozen vegetables are actually fresher than what you get in the produce section of your store.

Most so-called fresh vegetables and fruits are harvested before they've completely ripened to allow for the time it takes to ship them to the retailer. Unripe fruit and even vegetables don't bruise as easily during transport. Unfortunately flavor is sacrificed even though they continue to ripen after being picked. Anyone who has eaten home grown fruits and vegetables knows this.

Let's say you have 6 oz of meat once a day at the average cost of $2.00 per pound, you would spend $22.50 a month on one part of one meal. That doesn't leave much money for other products and other meals.


Actually 3.99/lb because I bought 5 pounds at a fish market.    Once you get the basic goods in, it's just a matter of filling it in.  I'll get a few pounds of bananas and make banana chips one week and get asparagus.   Even when i splurge on extras...I'm still at around 50 -75 dollars.  Also , some things drop in my lap for free such as my neighbor giving me a basket of pears....chop them up and dehydrate them.  Just find the deals and cook the meals

I agree.  Vince, I find it funny that you called me racist just because I claimed that Black people have lower average IQ scores, lower rates of education, higher rates of fatherlessness, and commit more violent crime on average [due to having higher average blood serum testosterone levels, and lower ability to delay gratification].

Out of curiosity, what part of that did you think was racist, and why?

Also, one of my favourite speakers is Jesse Lee Peterson.  How could I like a Black speaker if I'm racist?:

Yes a seperate program thats available for those who can't prepare meals at home.  Do you think social workers vist the homes of Snap card recipients to verify that their stove and refrigerator are not in working order? Or do you think the majority of the social workers say I'll take your word for it? Do you think a government program on the local level has a stringent vetting policy?


How do you verify if someone who receives snap benefits is homeless?  Where is their benefit card mailed? It takes a minimum of 3 weeks to receive, there is no expedited program where an individual can get a card immediately.

Are the homeless and elderly snap benefit cards different from the general publics card, so the fast food restaurants can distinguish what can be used at their restaurants or does the government only allow the specific cards to be used at the fast food establishments?

Its  interesting the government has multiple levels of SNAP cards available because it wasnt that long ago that those who received cash assistance on the cards were getting cash from casino's.

My point was that the restaurant program was not widespread, when you and Vince seemed to be arguing that it was. If you want to talk about straight-up welfare fraud, that's a separate issue. Whether or not the states that offer the program provide strict vetting doesn't change the fact that it can't be statistically widespread.

 It's actually not illegal to spend SNAP benefits out of state and the article you posted doesn't explicitly say it is. It's a federal program. It just implies that because of where the money was withdrawn, it couldn't have been used by people who were in need. Pulling out cash at a specific atm does not mean you spent it there. Sometimes it is just the most convenient place to get it. Also, as I'm currently dealing with the aftermath of someone who duped my debit card, the first place my mind went when reading that article and seeing the large amounts in specific places is that it was probably some sort of organized card theft. When I google "ebt" and "card skimming" a bunch of  articles come up. Even in the article you posted, a case of straight up identity theft is mentioned.

You're not including elderly and disabled because those are pretty simple to verify. Where do homeless people recieve mail? Programs like the one I described in my earlier post provide temporary mailing addresses. Also, "homeless" does not mean no friends, families or acquaintances. Also, when someone registers for a homeless service, it could affect their ability to utilize other services.  And, yes, you can receive an expedited SNAP card. They can actually print you a version in the office the same day without a picture, depending on your needs.

Is there welfare fraud? Yes. Should abuses be reigned in? Of course. But you/Goodrum and me are just in different places about what that means. Y'all are more of the mindset that the program itself should be as punitive as possible and that any anecdotal issues that arise mean it's a completely broken system that every recipient intentionally abused.

Well, it's quite possible that I'm footing an even larger portion, so does that mean my opinion carries more weight than yours?

Okay Al.

What is your point exactly? 

My point is I know several people who abuse the system, people who should not be able to use the snap card at restaurants but do and there was no vetting. I know a homeless person who repeatedly reports his card as stolen, because he trades it for drugs, and gets new ones issued (its sent to a business address).


My point is people can use EBT af restaurants.

My point is the system set up doesn't work as laid out on paper are you saying it does?

I didnt say defund the program I pointed out its corrupt. I never said make it punitive but there should be requirements for people to be lifelong members of the system. Drug testing could be one of these requirements.

Side note how would one steal an identity to obtain an EBT card? You have to fill out all the paper work in person.

They weren't generalizations. It was an acknowledgement that stuff that's being treated as conventional wisdom in this thread is not accurate. It's not a generalization to say most aren't buying McDonald's and KFC because that's not even possible for most.  As certain as you are that no one on SNAP works, you can easily find evidence to the contrary with a few quick google searches:

https://www.census.gov/library/stories/2020/07/most-families-that-received-snap-benefits-in-2018-had-at-least-one-person-working.html#:~:text=About%20a%20Third%20of%20Families,Two%20or%20More%20People%20Working&text=In%202018%2C%2012%25%20of%20the,in%20the%20previous%2012%20months.


A more thorough breakdown here:
https://www.cbpp.org/research/food-assistance/most-working-age-snap-participants-work-but-often-in-unstable-jobs

Everything I posted can easily be googled.
You fell for those articles?  That's your typical skewed data set.  Notice how they use and define "family"  They're looking at a subset of data to paint a rosier than reality picture. Only 1/3 of food stamp recipients are able to work.  2/3 are children, disabled and the elderly. Out of the 1/3 that can work, the majority, 58-60% do work but that's the fraction of a fraction.  There's also massive fraud in the snap program.  To the tune of 4-5 billion a year.

I think I've been pretty unambiguous about my points in this thread. Even if there are examples of misuse, I don't think it's possible for fraudulent restaurant purchases to be a widespread problem. In most areas, fast food restaurants wouldn't even be able to process payments.  From a personal standpoint, I don't really think the examples of misuse you cited rise to the level of indicting the entire program as corrupt. Most poverty/homeless services are prohibitively difficult to qualify for (possibly for good reason) and I'm fine with food security programs being a little more lenient. Almost no financial program works exactly as it's laid out on paper. That is not to say I think fraud should be encouraged or overlooked.

As for how identities can be stolen, here's one example from last year where someone gathered info and got 750,000 before getting arrested. 
https://oag.ca.gov/news/press-releases/attorney-general-becerra-announces-arrest-charges-against-individual-750000

Quote
It alleges that the defendant targeted 655 individuals across California and pocketed $750,000. Investigators believe that between November 1, 2018 and May 2, 2019, Gibson targeted victims by sending text messages asking for personal information – such as birth date, social security number and the PIN associated with their EBT cards – in order to verify their benefits. Once the victims provided the information, investigators believe Gibson used it to create duplicates of the victims’ EBT cards and then used the duplicates to withdraw funds from ATM machines.

If someone budgeting asked me for a meal plan I'd give them something like this.

Meal 1 - Oats, Banana/dried fruit, eggs.

I think I've been pretty unambiguous about my points in this thread. Even if there are examples of misuse, I don't think it's possible for fraudulent restaurant purchases to be a widespread problem. In most areas, fast food restaurants wouldn't even be able to process payments.  From a personal standpoint, I don't really think the examples of misuse you cited rise to the level of indicting the entire program as corrupt. Most poverty/homeless services are prohibitively difficult to qualify for (possibly for good reason) and I'm fine with food security programs being a little more lenient. Almost no financial program works exactly as it's laid out on paper. That is not to say I think fraud should be encouraged or overlooked.

As for how identities can be stolen, here's one example from last year where someone gathered info and got 750,000 before getting arrested.

Obviously my anecdotal evidence, via dozen different family members and acquaintances, isn’t the be all end all.

But what research is being done on these programs? How many people are using assistance as a stop gap and how many are life long users? Are there studies looking into those details and why a “healthy” able bodied  person would spend a decade on an assistance program?

I never said disband the welfare benefits program, as a child I was a recipient of the program and I imagine my life would have been drastically different without it.

What I did say was you could use EBT cards at numerous fast food restaurants and you chimed in that there are specific requirements for that to happen (and that many fast food restaurants cannot process payments) to which I disagreed.

If there is an opportunity for a private business to receive government funds they will figure out a way to process payments, it is not that difficult, I shouldn’t have to explain that to you.

I worked in the commercial food industry and if we could get a product vetted for government programs, like WIC, it was considered a guaranteed sale and a lock as a source of income.  Don’t pretend that fast food giants aren’t negotiating behind the scenes on how to get a slice of the pie.

Also when you say most homeless/proverty programs are difficult to qualify for what are you basing this off of? The amount of people who’ve applied and been denied, the amount of homeless/poverty level people in relation to funds available for them or your experiences (as a social worker or as a applicant)?  Undoubtedly the programs are hard to get acceptance into when you see the amount of homelessness in the states but I’m curious to the actual numbers.


One person stealing 3/4 of a million dollars would indicate the system is being abused and misused. I don’t know what you would consider gross negligence and abuse for a private company but $750000 would qualify as that for almost anywhere except maybe Amazon or Walmart.

That said I think we as a nation have a responsibility to help those who are less fortunate and I think as a people we do “try” to help those in need (you’d be hard pressed to find a retail store that isn’t asking you round your change up for a donation). But since you said it I’d argue that if a nonprofit showed the same amount of fraudulent behavior as our government run programs people would be in an uproar.

That said Vinces $30 a month budget is ridiculous and so is his claim of living on $15 a month within the last decade, especially when he had so much personal success in his private businesses.

Don’t you have 6-8 people living together? Why in the world do you have your son, and wife, or whatever family members all living together? Are y’all bumming off each other? Welfare

Jeez

Why do you ask? Do you need a place to live? Sorry, we're full up here. If you want to move to this town, be forewarned, property is expensive regardless of whether you rent or buy. There's a modest sized 3 bedroom ranch style house across the street which currently rents for $3,000 a month. No pets allowed. It's currently occupied.

We share residence because we want to not because we need to. It's six and no one here is on welfare or bumming off anyone else. Family is preferable to friends and we all get along. Several generations living in one building/house is not uncommon in Europe. Families are doing it more and more in the U.S.

This is a large house, there is no reason not to share it. There is no basement. If there were, I'd set up a home gym. The garage is for parking our cars. There are enough bedrooms for my great granddaughter to have one of her own as do I. I have one of the two master bedroom suites which is in a separate wing with approximately 400 sq. ft. The house has two large family rooms one upstairs and one on the main floor, a living room, dining room, 4 bedrooms and 3 full bathrooms. The lot is about 10,000 sq. ft.
 
A record number of Americans live in multigenerational households today. Between 2000 and 2016, the number of multigenerational households increased by a remarkable 21.6 million, increasing from 42.4 million in 2000 to 64 milion in 2016. Today, 1 in 5 American households are multigenerational.

https://www.gu.org/explore-our-topics/multigenerational-households/

The typical home value of homes in West Linn is $585,328. This value is seasonally adjusted and only includes the middle price tier of homes. West Linn home values have gone up 5.6% over the past year and Zillow predicts they will rise 7.7% in the next year.

But you're saying you disagree even though that information was contained in a link you posted. You're saying that you disbelieve links you posted because of things you've observed, but the system that processes ebt is a unique system that is designed specifically to process EBT payment. It is called Quest. So a McDonalds can't just accept payment under the table, they'd need to have that system installed. And then, on top of that, welfare money can  be tracked to the dollar. If you wanted to know where it was being spent, you could get that information via a FOIA request. In the article you posted upthread, you can see that the writer was breaking down exact dollar amounts at exact locations.

But even aside from those things, I should've emphasized earlier that it wouldn't be a big deal to me even if that was the case. I was only pointing out the factual inaccuracy. It is an arbitrary rule that you can't get hot food with an ebt card. I think even some conservative politicians have acknowledged that.

Housing programs had waitlists for years, drug programs wouldn't accept clients if they didn't believe their drug problems were serious enough(counselors would coach clients on how to emphasize and exaggerate issues), some programs would only accept clients if they already had jobs, even temporary shelter (like 15-30 day) was something that most males didn't bother pursuing  because it was so limited and (understandably) favored women and families. At a lot of temporary shelters, clients have to give up belongings either because they are considered unsafe or because there is a possession limit. At one of the drop-in centers I volunteered at there was a requirement to have a state issued ID just to enter, and I would estimate that at least half of the people who came to us were turned away because they didn't meet that requirement.

Ok, so what are the points we're actually disagreeing on? Neither of us thinks Goodrum's approach would be ideal or that the program should be disbanded, but we seem to have different views on what constitutes a "widespread fraud" and "abuse" and what that says about the system?

Al what I orginally said was you can use an EBT card for fast food.  Thats it.

I suggested the program was open to every recipient.

You corrected me and said that only a select few can use the EBT for fast food and that most restaurants arent set up for Quest (And depending on what state you live in this is true). When I lived in Michigan its was very common for Fast Food restaurants to have signs in their windows that said "We accept Bridge/Snap Cards". My experience was that the program wasn't  restricted and today Michigan no longer offers a fast food program for EBT cards.

In California many chain restaurants accept the EBT card.

The question is does fast food purchase equate to a widespread abuse of the welfare system, the likely answer is no. But my original point was that EBT cards could be used for fast food and I implied it was available for everyone,  you corrected me and said it is a very limited program.

I think where we disagree is whether welfare reform is needed. I think there needs to be a review process for individuals who are "lifetime" members, although I do realize many of these people consist of unwed mothers with children who are dependents until they are 18 (as well as disabled people).  However I'm sure I have a simplified view of a complex issue.

Cool, bro.  Interesting to see an opinion on getbig that didn't just boil down to "poor people are lazy and if they wanted to fix their lives, they would just do it."

Until this summer, I hadn't worked with any poverty-focused programs for about 4 or 5 years. As you can imagine, covid is really taking a toll on people at the bottom of the economic totem. I'm actually glad the stuff I've been doing for the last few months has not been administrative, because I think a lot of people are in hopeless situations right now. I'm not trying to make all poor people out as virtuous, but once someone's life begins to crumble, it's difficult to reverse that trajectory, especially starting off with very little. I see stories about guys who've had it all and then lost it, then regained it  and people will compare that to homeless/ severely impoverished people but there is a world of difference. Just having a state id and a couple hundred dollar credit line is something that is out of reach for a lot of them. One of my first long-term volunteer jobs included helping people (some homelss, many not) get ids who didn't have them. This was years ago, and in some cases it would take more than a year to gather all of the points for a state id. One of the fastest shortcuts was going through a program like SNAP or medicaid and that would give you a lot of points, but they'd still need to secure things like an original birth certificate and ss card. With the new federal id requirements, I don't think that shortcut is an option for a lot of situations.

I don't disagree with you that there should be some type of SNAP reform, but I also think that part of the reason it is a relatively lax program is because of the situations people who use it might be in. In one of your earlier posts I think you questioned how homeless people would get benefits. I actually don't think it would be a good thing to make it too difficult for people in tough situations to be approved. Obvs I'm a pussy-antifa-leftist liberal.

Jeez

Bevo,

It used to be "the norm" for the parents, kids and grandparents to live together under 1 roof.
 "The Walton's" was based in that ideal and was one of the most beloved shows in TV history.
https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0068149/

Obviously, during  "the 1930's depression" families had to pull together for economic reasons.
BUT, that was far from the only reason many families  live together.

I know this is getbig, but we should all nurture the relationships we share with family , friends and those we care about.
In that spirit, I wish you a safe and Merry Christmas.

This website is for my bitcoin/cryptocurrency business  that I run with Judi...I'm sure you folks remember her from Getbig as jaguarenterprises.   

The fact is that I would only be a failure if I wasn't a do nothing person.   I'm always working on new things and I enjoy what I do.   Its nice sitting in Bodas Cigar Lounge on a Sunday, having a fine cigar with a glass of wine watching the game while checking bets on my sportsbook along with updating my other websites.

You may have reached a point in your career, however, when it will benefit you to distance yourself from people who huck gas tank pills. Is she still doing that?

This website is for my bitcoin/cryptocurrency business  that I run with Judi...I'm sure you folks remember her from Getbig as jaguarenterprises.

Is she the one that tried to swindle people into buying plastic cards with minuscule amounts of gold from some sort of MLM fraudsters?

The fact is that I would only be a failure if I wasn't a do nothing person.

I think you’re saying that you’re a “do nothing person” and if that’s the case, I don’t think that’s anything to be proud of Vince.

I'm always working on new things and I enjoy what I do.

No, you’re not working on “new things” Vince. You’re working at new ways of failing. For fuck’s sake, you’re telling people that your site is about acquiring wealth and the key insight is “buy rice and lentils in bulk and cook them in your tears”!


Its nice sitting in Bodas Cigar Lounge on a Sunday, having a fine cigar with a glass of wine watching the game while checking bets on my sportsbook along with updating my other websites.

Ah, yes. The trappings of success: sitting in a “cigar lounge” inhaling tar and other carcinogens, watching “the game” and updating your websites. Yeah, you’re so successful you can’t even hire a college kid for the price of a six pack of beer to do the menial work or “updating” your “websites”.

You laughed at me years ago mining bitcoin.....and it blew up

It’s my understanding that individual mining is wildly unprofitable since the advent of specialized mining rigs and requires dirt-cheap electricity. Maybe you discovered Bitcoin early, but if you had and if you mined back in 2012 or whatever and held onto it then you wouldn’t be writing about trying to survive on $30 a week or telling us tall tales about smoking fine cigars and sipping fine wine.


You laughed at my medical supply site.....then COV-19 happenned

Of course we laughed at you. It was a stupid idea to begin with, and you didn’t do it because you thought the coronavirus was coming, but because you were stupid enough to think that opening a webstore either reshipping items you’d buy off Amazon or hawking good on behalf of a “supplier” would lead to profit.


Now you're laughing at my article...the same article that I've paid Facebook to run ads.

Of course I’m laughing at you dummy. You’re paying money for Facebook to run ads to attract readers to what end? To have them “learn” how to eat rice and lentils?

Seriously, the fact that you’re paying money to advertise that crap shows just how bad a businessman you are and why you’ll never have two pennies to scrape together. But yeah, keep pretending you’re some kind of titan in the medical supplies industry who also discovered and mined bitcoins!


People will see it and click the link to visit the site just at the title.  Its a great way to market my business.

Yeah, attracting the fabled “our food budget is $30” demographic is important and has proven so elusive. But you cracked the nut and soon you’ll have all their disposable income to buy more cigars and wine, yeah?


You cannot succeed....if you never try.

That’s true. But, no matter how hard you try, you won’t succeed if you’re doing stupid shit.

Because I tried....I've now made over 100k for the first time in 15 years....and all from my singlewide home with my cheap looking websites..

Yeah, congratulations and all but I don’t think making under $7,000 a year for 15 years is really something to brag about, Vince.

Also didn’t you mine for bitcoin? If so wouldn’t you have made money before this year?

Nah, I won't call you a fool despite the fact that I'm an atheist. First, as long as it works for you, then who am I to complain? Second, by your own admission, you merely doubted the existence of God, and it's my experience that almost everyone who is in the "doubt" category ends up going the "it's real, probably" direction eventually and certainly after going through something that brings them close to their own mortality. It's not really a surprise.

I'd say "ain't noth'n but a peanut" and urge you to just lift heavy and never skip leg day. But I don't know if following the advice of someone who ended up with an entire hardware store worth of industrial strength fasteners in his back is a good idea.

You have a good hustle going on, just like Judi. It's easier to get money when you spread out and diversify.

But, in all seriousness, how many hours to you work per day/week? It seems like you are wrapped up in so many things, you probably work a lot. Or do you?

My friend has like 7 small hustles he's been pushing for years, makes decent money, but works 70-80 hours a week.

Maybe not 30 dollars a month...But your food budget goes so much farther if you use your kitchen more.

Agreed. One thing I find is that it is hard to get the right amount of any one item when buying for one. I get about half way through a loaf of bread before it gets moldy. Banana's go soft before I eat even a small bunch. Avocados and foods made from avocados like guacamole spoil very quickly. It is possible to buy single servings of some foods, but you pay more for it in the long run because of packaging.

One solution is to fix many servings of meals which can be frozen and then freeze them in one serving quantities. When I remember, I freeze bread. It works best when you toast it before eating it. Because I've become lazy about cooking, I eat a lot of frozen entrees. It's a bit less expensive than fast foods and possibly healthier depending on what it is.

I'll kick in for Shizzo's airfare to Oregon as long as he sucks the daylights out of Prime.

That just gave me a great idea for a new company.

Do you know how they have a company that visits old people to help them and it’s called “Visiting Angels”?

Well after thinking about creepy old queer PrimePedo, I am going to start a company called “Visiting Angels of Death” where we go to the homes of sick old perverts like him and snuff them out.

Now I am getting a little nervous. Why you ask? You post incessantly about having sex with me, which suggests you think about it a lot.  ;)

I told you. I don't have sex anymore.

Please don't take this personally, if I did and you slimmed down and toned up, I might entertain the idea. In some photos, you have a nice face. How's your gag control? I'm hung.

BTW. I have a voodoo doll. The other two things you mention aren't a part of my life.

Is the voodoo doll go4it???

I don't want credit for the inspiration.  I'm merely trying to help a man get blown.  Maybe even fuck Shizzo's back tits.

That definitely needs to be filmed with the Deliverance banjo music playing in the background.

I’ve got $3.00 that says Shizzo’s shitpipe can take PrimePedo right to the hilt.

Hey Wes, just want to jump on the bandwagon here and say glad to hear your medical news has been all good and you're feeling bright, even if a little limited.

We just lost Chuck Yeager so you're gonna have to take the wheel for awhile, tuff guy.


Never mind Chuck Yeager, our Wes flew with Icarus


99 times out of a hundred if someone goes out of their way to tell you they are something (wealthy, tough ect), they aren’t

PrimePedo wouldn’t know what to do because everyone would be over the age of eight.

Please don't. As you know, I am really old and if he's any good at fellatio, he might cause me to have a stroke. Or like I said, I might cause him to choke on my abundant endowment. Neither of which seems worth it.

Yeah, I agree it is creepy. Just remember, I'm not the one who started it. It's all just a sick joke. Anyway, a few Getbiggers could probably use a little distraction lately, what with their hero losing the election and all.

Reminds of of the movie "Boom" with Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton where he played the angel of death. It was a really 'campy' movie.

Apparently, you haven't seen many Voodoo dolls and don't know how their used. A Voodoo doll represents the person for whom you have evil intent. You stick pins in it and the actual person gets sick or dies. Go4It is a cool dude who doesn't deserve to be dragged into such nonsense. Leave him out of this.

Must have been someone else's sex channel then (since I've never had one of those). Mine is more like a very thick kielbasa. Not that I'd ever let you anywhere near it. Sorry, don't mean to hurt your feelings.

I'm headed out to the kitchen for a bowl of coconut almond crunch Kashi, a glass of fresh OJ and a single serve Keurig, Nantucket blend coffee. Note: coffee alone runs me more than $30 a month.
