I had a job once enrolling Welfare people in a Free Dental Plan for the poor at the office they went to get their checks. Back then they would go on a certain day in person. Well the Welfare Queens would pull up in Luxury cars, go in get the check and then there was a mobil van selling Lobster and Steak across the street where they would head right over there and cash their check for Lobster and Steak and head back to their free housing in their Caddy.
What more do you want? </sarc>
One of my jobs when I worked as a drug/alcohol counselor was to teach the clients how to eat properly and how to shop .
To that end once a week I would take a group of clients grocery shopping.. all of these folks were on welfare and food stamps ...
I shopped for my family of 9 with the cash I earned ( quaint I know) so when I tried to give them shopping tips I found out they only ate “name brands” and the best cuts of meat ...
Ah yes, Diet Mountain Dew and lobster — a true gourmand.
In store Savings $6.00

Uhhh no. They way I see it they really saved $141.78
I would suspect he knows somebody willing to give him cash in exchange for using his food stamp card.
I cannot remember that last time I had lobster...and I love lobster!
Note to self: get some lobster, you’re going to die someday.
That’s disgusting.
Is this a weekly thing or did they save up for a birthday or wedding anniversary?

Are you for real? How is it they “saved up” for anything? They SPENT other people’s money.
Food stamps aside...in this economy a pound of cereal and a pound of steak are not much different in price.
They’re not food stamps.
It is SNAP.
SUPPLEMENTAL Nutrition Assistance Program.
Lobster and Steak is SUPPLEMENTAL.
He stopped doing the work he was doing, and became very lazy. Eventually, he wound up finding a lonely woman in Boston to move in with (he had been in L.A.). She is a school teacher (making tons), and he does nothing (except go for free medical stuff almost weekly).
Had a chat with him the other day, and he said he's collecting food stamps... and uses that to buy lobster and caviar.
I asked him if he felt guilty (he's a super-left liberal) for taking free healthcare and free food stamps when he lives with a woman making six figures.... "of course not" was his response.
I would suspect that you are right, except I see the EBT people in front of me at the grocery store buying the absolute best cust of meat when they aren't buying the expensive gourmet frozen entrees. Saw one BF (giant elaborately painted nails) pay for some stuff at the grocery store with the EBT card and then go out and get into a Mercedes two seater sports car.
Gotta go now, here at the soup kitchen they make us share the machine.
