I find it very funny how you feel you can judge people for buying healthy food for their family. Your right because Someone rear ended my husband and he is temporarily unable to run our construction business, that my wages as a bartender cannot support our four person family in any aspect that we should shop at walmart and feed our children garbage covered in pesticides! Should we live on mac and cheese and hot dogs would that be ok with you? It’s funny how you smile and make conversation act like you want to be my friend then I bring out the EBT and suddenly your better than me! Well guess what a year ago I was paying several people your wage so next time you judge remember your a checker!!!! Go back to school take some humanity’s classes volunteer see the world but most of all take off your blinders and tiara!!!!!

Comment on #93 Fantasizing About Buying a House While Unemployed by Matt

Buying a house when your collecting unemployment is not responsible. Some people who do have jobs do not have their own house, and you all want to get one while tax payers foot the bill.

I’m a big fan of taking an “empty roll” into a public bathroom and winding the entire roll on the holder onto my empty tube. Viola!

I agree with you Cookie. If you get bored while you’re unemployed, you should go and look for a job.

Why is it considered so admirable to leech off honest businesses? I found the rest of the site funny, but the comments on this article show that the readers are scum on the bottom of society’s fish tank.

Haha, Hank, you just did exactly what the article was talking about. Forgive me if that was you using satire, as I have difficulty identifying sarcasm and so forth in the written word.

This is just an ignorant article, but let me enlighten your ass because just like you choose to blow your cash on the new iPhone and eat ramen noodles every night, instead of purchasing the perrier and steak people on food stamps choose to budget their food stamps wisely so they can eat well.

I used to eat like shit, then I got on Food Stamps and I could no longer AFFORD to eat like shit. TV dinners and boxed cakes cost far more than fresh chicken and veggies, and flour and sugar. I now only shop at Whole Foods. I find it hilarious people with jobs can’t afford to eat here when I can make $400 a month in Food Stamps stretch to 5 weeks worth of meals. Stop judging people when you don’t know their story. If you are really jealous of my good eating let me share some secrets with you that my “poor” ass does, so I don’t gotta bitch and worry about what anyone else in the store is eating. This is how I got out of eating crap and eating like them rich folk. . .

So yeah shopping at Whole Foods means that I pay $2.50 for a bag of beautiful green fresh salad that was grown organically and locally, my local super market charges the same amount for a wilted bag of fresh express. Wow, my fresher, greener, organic salad is the EXACT SAME PRICE I would pay at the store ANYWAY!

Meat – Wholefoods meat dept offers fresh meat they can cut or measure out to your liking. Don’t need 3lbs of Ground Beef they sell at the super market? No problem, you can get a 1/4lb or whatever instead. For 93% lean beef I pay 4.99 at the grocery store, for grass fed anti hormone beef I pay a $1 more. Its worth the dollar to me so I add it. Oooh, hey organic free range anti hormone chickens are on sale 1.99 lb! Well lets just grab 3 whole chickens. (Oh you dont like cutting your own whole chicken? Then dont bitch when you pay the extra $2 a lb) Lets grab that too. OMG and precut boneless chunk beef for stew is on sale $4.99 a lb! $2 LESS than the supermarket!

8oz Hummus at Whole Foods, made with no preservatives is 1.99, Hmmm Sabra 10oz is $3.99… YIKES. Stacys Chips $2.99 at super market – 2.50 at whole foods! Yum healthy junk snacks.

ChickenStock in a Box 32oz – Store brand, low sodium – 50 cents more than the WF brand organic variety.

Bag brown rice in super market – $5, bulk bag your own brown rice at whole foods -$2.50!
Bulgar at super market – $4 and will probably waste 1/3 of it, getting just the 1lb I need at WF bulk section? 98 cents.

Soooo yeah I can go on and on, but if you spend wisely and buy on sales, and actually get off your lazy ass and COOK breakfast lunch and dinner anyone can eat like a king on “poverty” budget. Stop buying crap you dont need, or paying more money for other people to cut and skin your chicken or precook your tv dinners and you won’t have to worry about what anyone else is eating OR how they paid for it!!!
