Buy a sandwich and you've spent $5.

How, here are ten easy ways to save a small fortune on food:

First, never eat out.

Second, eat lots of potatos and rice.

Third, never eat out.

Fourth, buy in bulk

Fifth, never eat out.

sixth, don't buy junk food

seventh, never eat out.

eighth, don't buy "name brand groceries"

ninth, never eat out.

tenth, if one is really desperate....start clipping coupons

My family of 5 usually has pancakes or waffles or oatmill for breakfast. For lunch I bring last nights leftovers to work, and the wife and kids will have casadilla's, or ramen, or sandwiches, for lunch (or leftovers from dinner). For dinner we usually have some form of potatos (fried, mashed, baked, etc), with either vegatables we grew in our garden or frozen vegetables we purchased in bulk.. Water (rather than soda). Bread/toast with butter. And usually-but not always-beef or chicken. We also eat spagetti a lot.

its not the most exciting menu....but its what we can afford, so its what we do (well, used to do...now that we have $400/month for food-we paid off some debt-we can "splurge" a little bit now and then). We still stick to that menu most of the time, but we can afford to eat steak or pork chops, once in a while, and eat out every now and then.

believe me it's possible for one perso to live off of $2.66/day...you could buy a 10 pound bag of potatos for what $3? That'll last one person for almost two weeks (if they eat potatos twice a meal every day). Buy a bag of frozen vegatables in bulk from Costco for $5 and it'll last one person two weeks. A loaf of bread is $2? last a week. a dozen eggs? $1.5? last a week. Oatmill? spagetti noodles? pancake mix? water? It's all very very very cheap!

And I'd expect someone on government assistance to be eating that way. I know many middle class families that do, and so it's not an unreasonable expectation. Once they get on their feet, they can eat whatever they want, on their own dime. But I don't feel it's right to have people spending tax dollars on junk food, and name brand stuff...but while they are on government assistance they need to be getting by on only the basics.
No argument with what you said in general. Certainly agree that if you are living off the govt. tit, you should be eating on the cheap--but, not crap.

That would be one issue I have with your diet. Potatoes are not particularly healthy, although not bad. You eat a lot of simple carbs which is cheap, but, not that healthy. Frozen veggies for $5 last a week? No. But, yes, you can get a lot for $5.

We don't clip coupons but should. Eat out too often (but not that often by most people standards I think).

half of that is for taking care of the kids.

You drop the kids and her income is ~14,000/year?

Of course we all would rather she wasn't a poor single mom, but, raising two kids on 35k/year would not be easy.

I agree with you that it wouldn't be a fun situation to be in. You also have to remember her appartment rent is probably going to be about $200 for a nice apartment, because we have rental assistance for people like her around here. A lady my girlfriend works with is in a situation like this and when she gets her EITC check she takes a week off work and goes to the twin cities clubbing with her friends. I dont mind helping the kids, but I agree with Titan it's a little much.
no argument there.

In Portland I see tons of people using food stamps.
People who live in low income housing pay half the rent I do and have twice as nice as a place as I do.
It blows me away when I go to the store the day their cards get money on them.
What they buy at the store and how much baffles me.

I spend about 100-120 a month on food if I am lucky.
While going to school.
I eat out 4-5 times a month for lunch, usually every Wednesday. Typical lunch is anywhere from 4-10$
I pretty much live off crap, Party Pizza's 2 for 3. Ramen, PB & J ect.
I eat a lot of pasta, noodles are like 1.23 a box? Sauce on a good day can find it for 3? I can live off that for a few days.

So a steady diet of potatoes, pasta, processed frozen vegies, bread...Great, now we have fat overweight people who been eating like shit going to hospital ER's (because they have no health insurance) for heart attacks and strokes, costing us BILLIONS to provide treatment and rehabilitation.

Sweet!

Dude, nobody in my family is overweight. We are healthy, we aren't going to the ER, we aren't having strokes and heart attacks....and this was the diet I grew up on, and my parents grew up on (and my grandparents have been eating their entire life). And you can be damn sure its more healthy that the $.99 heart attacks they serve at all the fast food joints most people feed their kids at every day. And it's more healthy than drinking a gallon of soda every day. And more healthy than eating packaged pastries every day, and a whole slew of other things people currently eat.

Face it, Dave, if America (on average) changed their diet from the crap we currently eat, to that diet. It would be a huge frikkin' improvement!

(and we only eat frozen veggies in the winter and spring....all summer and fall we eat the veggies that we grow in our back yard)

You and your family will be ahead of the curve. The commodities speculators already have the food market in their sites, and when that happens we will all be eating the basic inexpensive staples like potatoes and rice.

BTW: When I was 4 or 5, my dad worked for Chrysler and they went on strike. The union provided beans and potatoes for those who walked the picket lines.

To this day I can't stand to eat pinto bean's.

Not in CA. You get 20 people or more living in a 4 bedroom house in the Burbs.
And about 40 kids, and a shitload of cars lining the streets.

The HOA next to us(We dont have an HOA) are tying to get the city to boot the 13 families living in one rental home. Its worth about 900,000. Yes 900K. Im sure its a drug operation running out of it too.

The place has 24/7 traffic, all different people, rarely the same, and the crime rate around the area has skyrocketed.
We hadnt had a house break in or anything in over 10 years.......now, about once a week. Or attempted. The fireman across the street watched his footage when his alarm went off one day. 2 Hispanics totally fucking with the windows, doors etc, then alarm went off and they boogied.

Why do queers constantly make a mess for Giberson to clean up? Stick to the topic or go shit in your own bed. I dont think its normal for men to have such a hard on for another man.

The average layman sees the everyday abuse of foodstamps and welfare,and is rightfully pissed aboutit.It is unfortunate that he doesnt realise the kick in the nuts and the gentle reach around to his wallet that Wallsreet is giving him at every waking moment.

What is your point? There is crooks all over? You guys sit and bitch about Wall Street all day. I think a lot of people realize they are crooks, but the people benefit from their crookedness so they overlook it.

Two wrongs don't make a right. We see it, we call it out.

And if they didn't live like animals, the projects wouldn't be a bad place to live. What's so bad about free housing? Oh yeah, when we fuck it up as we bitch how bad it is. The projects are shit holes because they made them that way.
