Thats awesome! My diet is very "primal" tho so most of the things they give vouchers for we wouldnt eat...we are gluten and dairy sensitive...and we are hippies who rarely eat processed foods heh. Wic just wouldn't of been worth the paperwork for me :/ cuz they would kick you off if you dont use everything

That's why when we don't use what we get we donate it to food pantries. My son has a peanut allergy and they give us beans instead. None if use eat 64 oz of beans a month. So we just donate it. Its better to get used than thrown away.

The office I go to there isn't a lot of paper work at all but every office and every state is different. I do an office visit every 3 months and I fill out a page saying what my son can and can't do. Then I fill out a page about my pregnancy. It's not a lot for me considering how much they help. My husband hates paperwork so I'm sure he'd agree with you though lol.

What all do they give you?

4 gallons of milk, one loaf of bread, 64 oz refried beans, one dozen eggs, 10 dollars of fruit or veggies (whatever you want), 64 oz of juice, and rice just don't remember how much. 8 oz of cheese, peanut butter if there isn't an allergy. My son is allergic. 36 oz of cereal.

Oh ouch. Well I'm sure you can call down there and see what you're options are. But it sounds like you are doing pretty good on your own.
