re: food stamps

Quoting Man. Bear. Pig.:" Ground turkey is so much better than red meat. I love it, but no one else in my house will touch it. lol"

I'll eat it in somethings but in general, the texture and color isnt too appealing.
In chili and tacos it's great.

Quoting Click Me Click Me!!!:" its like 1.50 here i buy walmart brand it may be cheaper "

Yeah, but it tastes like ass.

Quoting TheNuge:" I'll eat it in somethings but in general, the texture and color isnt too appealing. In chili and tacos it's great."

I love turkey burgers. Turkey patty, pepper jack cheese, tomato, and red onion, little franks red hot sauce, wrapped in red leaf lettuce. OMG. I WANT NOW!!!!!!!

Quoting Man. Bear. Pig.:" Why doesn't your husband drink coffee or regulate healthier things in his diet so that he has more energy? ... [snip!] ... Ive never understood soda as an energy source. You just get amped up for a few minutes and crash hard an hour or two later."

He HATES, I mean absolutely hates coffee, most juices, etc.
In the summer he'll switch it up to Gatorade which is a little better. But he takes a cooler with him nearly everyday.

Quoting Click Me Click Me!!!:" i dont even buy cans on mine. litters are cheaper lol"

Yeah, we buy bottles mostly. I can get a 24 pack of 24 oz. Faygo Moon Mist (all he'll drink besides Mountain Dew and Mello Yello) for 12.49. It's not really too bad of a price considering you MIGHT get a 20 oz. bottle of Mountain Dew 2/3 bucks. If you get them on sale.

Quoting TheNuge:" I drink soda as i hate drinking water. i think there are lots of people like that. he may or may not be one of them."

Yeah, he rarely drinks water too. Only when it's like 90 and humid and he's working outside on a roof or something..lol

Quoting Man. Bear. Pig.:" I try not to, but I HATE water too. I try drinking tea or adding those drink packets to my water. (they're horrible for you, but i've been dehydrated too many times to not try to drink water)."

Yeah, I drink a lot of those little packets in the summer. Right now I drink a little bit of everything. I rarely drink soda though and the kids only get it on special occasions (like birthdays and stuff).

Gotcha. I sometimes just take straight caffeine pills, although it's not super healthy. I've been slacking on eating right and exercising, so my energy is in the smurffer.

Quoting Man. Bear. Pig.:" Ground turkey is so much better than red meat. I love it, but no one else in my house will touch it. lol"

Yeah I sneak it in. If DH sees it, he bitches. He calls everything I make tofu..lol..But he still eats it then says it's good..he's weird.

I rarely buy hamburger and once in a while I buy steak or roast.
I don't eat any of it though...

Quoting TheNuge:" I'll eat it in somethings but in general, the texture and color isnt too appealing. In chili and tacos it's great."

I LOVE ground turkey burgers (when I ate meat). I mix it with onion soup mix and mushrooms and put it on an onion roll..delicious.

You're making me hungry...

I have fake turkey burgers.   And all the rest..hmmm

Quoting Man. Bear. Pig.:" Gotcha. I sometimes just take straight caffeine pills, although it's not super healthy. I've been slacking on eating right and exercising, so my energy is in the smurffer."

Yeah, nothing works for me. Pills, drinks, nada.
I just have to just go and be tired all day. It sucks.

I'm glad I like water. I was pretty much addicted to Diet Coke.

Dr pepper for me. I could LITERALLY drink a 6 pack a day........ At work I drink the flavored waters and maybe have one at night once or twice a week now

It shouldn't matter. But if it were a matter of money, the Soda mixes would be the better option, because they last a VERY long time if you use them at a normal rate.

And just because someone buys a bottle of soda every once in a while, that doesn't mean they are a wasteful obese slob who is abusing the system lol- it's a freaking bottle of soda. I think EVERYONE deserves something they truly like when it comes to food, food stamps or not. I don't agree with MORE than one or two unnecessary food items though. I mean, no one REALLY needs 3 packs of soda, chips, dip, cheese curls- etc. But if someone spends 10 bux on a snacky item, and spends the REST on healthy stuff, why should anyone complain? LOL Thank goodness I hate snacks and sweets, lol.
