Zhizara, $33 is not a lot of money. It's a stretch to think a person could eat based on $1/day. How do you do it?
We also need to bear in mind that the size of shopping carts has gotten larger over the past few years, with the specific intent of getting consumers to buy more.........marketing stratagies gotta love em!
again, those are supposed to be for kiddies to tag along with mom and dad and pretend to shop.
The kiddie-carts are just shrunken versions of regular carts.
There are adult-height half-carts available at several stores.
Out of my $168 a month in food stamps. I buy two very large boxes of cereal and a two pound bag of rice for our local food bank at the church. I allot $10 for the food bank. Those three items alone eat up eight dollars. I may have to increase the alloted amount in a month or two. I started out with alotting five dollars. That lasted about one year. Then it started to creep up.
The reason for the cereal is that I want to make sure some children will have a breakfast in their tummies before they head out the door to school. And the rice is so that a family will have at least one staple that will feed the whole family for more than one meal.
