I wish Canada had food stamps. Bet some junk bag would sell all his for like $50

got'em for 6wks when I got out of prison.

bought $14 jugs of BodyFortress Whey protein at walmart, 3lb tubes of ground beef, hamburger helper, generic oatmeal, chicken nuggets, bbq sauce, milk, and dollar store egg's. $200/month gets a lot of food if you gotta cook it yourself.

Can you really buy protein powder on food stamps?

$ 200 worth of food lasts only about 2 weeks or so if your eating 5/6 meals a day. I was on and off food stamps for 2 years.

5-6 meals a day is stupid. what's a 'meal' considered?

2lbs ground beef = $6 of the fattty shit... plus 2.50 for a box of hamburger helper... even cheaper if you just use jasmin rice & soy sauce from the asian market $17/25lbs.

that's 8.50/day for roughly 200g protein and a few thousand kcals.

8.50 * 30 = $255... that's if you eat that shit every day... some days i just had a couple boxes of mac & cheese, milk, oatmeal and chicken for 1/2 that cost.

  200 does NOT seem like a lot to eat on.

I'm pretty meticulous with my budget every month since I'm in grad school and money is always tight. I can eat 6 clean whole meals a day for $60 a week. What kills my budget is cheat meals though, burgers and pizza... I'm a sucker.

agreed, but look at it another way, that is $200/month that you got for free.

there are  a lot of Hasidic Jews in NYC that receive public assistance.
basically the husband has a job that makes enough to qualify. When in reality his father or relative owns the company, he gets paid off books or in Israel

[arce1988]

  Jews in Israel beg for money for food too. There are many commercials about it.
