[QUOTE="Jody, post: 458751, member: 8787"] I have also used food stamps when I lost a job several years ago. I did not abuse them in any way. I ate better and more healthy when I had food stamps then when I had to add food in the budget. They gave me some crazy amount like almost 400.00 for one month. I could not believe that was what I was really supposed to be spending on food a month, I never had that much in my grocery budget. More like 30-40 per week if I was lucky and got some over-time. When paper food stamps were in use, if you went in to the store and bought a candy bar for 50 cents they had to give you the change back. So people who wanted a bottle of beer or a cheap wine, would go back and forth buying small items and accumulating enough change to get the item that would not be covered by food stamps. Cigarettes, or whatever. [/QUOTE]
