“even if it was just 25% it makes a difference in the price.”
Which you have no clue or facts that ever happens.
Steak and Lobster have always been expensive.
Gwinnett County, GA is EBT central. I stand in line behind these people 3-4 times a week and for the most part they are buying bread, milk, eggs, cereal, soda, juice, pork and ground beef and frozen junk a lot of frozen junk. I have never seen one person buy a lobster ever. Ever. Off the top of my head I can’t even remember seeing steak or seafood. They buy mostly low end food. That’s why so many of them are fat. High carbs high fat.
I live in deep SE Texas and I see people buying steak and lobster tails with their EBT all the time.
Just a few weeks ago 2 girls bought themselves shrimp salads with their EBT but because of all that green stuff, lettuce, there wasn’t enough “shrimpies” for them so each got themselves a 1# bag of extra large precooked shrimp.
Not the small popcorn shrimp.
Not the medium shrimp.
Not just the regular large shrimp.
They had to have the extra large shrimp.
Lunch for the 2 of them was close to $40.
Screw that welfare trash.
Taxpayers don’t need to be paying for their “shrimpies”.
