Wal-Mart: Our shoppers are ‘running out of money’
Not in Texas, the illegals with WIC and welfare cards are stocking up.
When was the last time you saw a whitey or african pushing a huge completely full basket of groceries at Walmart?
Well, just last week there was julietta and her four chicas pushing an overflowing basket of groceries in a central TX Walmart.
Yep, she paid with a TX welfare card.
Steaks all sorts of expensive items.
I felt like a pauper, my measly 15 items topped out at $85 bucks for the wife and I.
Hell, I have never in my life bought a basket of groceries that full (except for beer in college, but that’s another story)
Our Walmart is on the edge of the suburb right next to a major city. We have a mix of suburbanites and poor city dwellers there. I see lots of white and lots of African Americans leaving with full carts. But I do see lots of EBT cards used by people of both races.
Probably stocking up for Cinco De Mayo parties before next weekend and the first of the month when all the cards “recharge” and the store’s empty by the 2nd.
I totally know the feeling.
We spent 80.00 and got 4 plastic bags of groceries!
I remember my mom paying 110.00 and the cart overflowing. That was 1992.
Come to any city in Jersey. You will find plenty of Africans filling up their carts via the EBT card.
We're feeding 3 growing kids; my cart is always full when I go to Walmart. It's gotten so bad lately, I'm making all my baked goods (including biscuits) from raw ingredients at home, making more casseroles, pulling every bit of uneaten chicken off the bird to make into other chicken dishes, and drinking lots of water instead of juices at our house. Thankfully, we stocked up big time months ago, and only dip into reserves when we are in a pinch, but more times than not, we're adding to the stockpile.
And there is no magic money card for my family. It's all debit cards or hard-earned cash.
That would have been today...when I looked down at the cart I was pushing. I then repeated it over again when I stopped at the local grocery store. Both carts came to less then $85 each...but that did not make me feel like a pauper, I felt thankful that I could feed my family on a reasonable budget. And for some reason my “race” never came into my thought process...
