Have you noticed at the grocery store, that people are still filling up their baskets with all kinds of convenience foods that cost twice or more that do it your self stuff?

Yep - especially those who pay with food stamps.

The day that I saw a woman pay over 30.00 for a birthday cake with her little EBT card I decided to say something about the taxpayers would really have like her to buy a cake mix and a tub of frosting. I even offered to pay for the candles, since they were not allowed.

I recall a few years back when I was a financially struggling single person, being in line behind two LARGE women who had a cart FULL of NICE cuts of meat, and various brand name items, and LOTS of beer and wine.
They paid for all the groceries with foods stamps and pulled out some cash for the alcohol. Then, strolled out and got into a brand new Honda civic.
