Shopping at Kroger. I can shop at Walmart and Meijer. Kroger is closest.. but we always spend less at Walmart.

I made a grocery list. And my budget is $100 or less. Lets see if I'm able to stick to it

I saved so much money at Kroger. $150/week to feed a family of 9.

Just buy the generic cereal & dump it in the name brand box. Your SO will never know the difference

I think I did good. We spent $104... which included 4lbs of ground beef, pork chops, some $10 toy for Gizzy   , a bunch of Hamburger Helper (they were only $1.. I love when those are on sale, lol). Shampoo, pregnancy tests   Milk and other boring stuff. Lol.

Quoting Michael Westen:" I dont know if I'm just reading what you wrote wrong but hamburger helper and ramen are TERRIBLE for you! Lol"

Oh, I know..lol

I was saying that you get bitched at if you get FS and buy that stuff and you still get bitched at if you buy the good food too..

I think you're just an angry, bitter person in general, lol.. Spend $250 on junk and that still leaves you $450 for expensive, name brand foods you must have! Quit being so irritated over FS and the people who qualify.for them...

I agree with some of your points but you are taking things way too far.you sound like more of a republican than me, and I'm a republican lol. You were bragging about having an education but I'm genuinely curious what sort of education you have to only be making 9 bucks an hour....I may have misread but I believe that's what you said.

You misread   I only finished 1.5 years of college.

Not bitter at all. Just irritated at the fact that people buy smurf and splurge simply because they don't have to pay for it   All night... I've gotten people who have FS cards... and they came in and spent at least $20 on smurf food. These are regulars, who do it often. Yet the people who actually have to pay for the food... ask me about what sales we have going on so they can make the dollar stretch more. They're the ones who buy a $1.99 shake because it's on sale... versus the people on EBT who spend $6 on a shake with a ton of extras because they can. That's abuse. Period.
