The only meat she and her son ate was ground venison that her brother gives them. (Her bro keeps the steaks and gives her the ground leftover pieces.)<br />2. She makes vats of spaghetti sauce w/ the meat and freezes it in serving sizes.<br />3. Her retired dad took up vegetable gardening and canning. He shared his produce with her.<br />4. Sunday dinner at her parents' house, taking home leftovers.<br />5. Pack lunches at home<br />6. Bulk bins!<br />7. They ate lots of beans, rice and pasta.<br /><br />Food stamps are enough if you get a some help. This is why it's pointless to ask poor people who they don't move someplace else where they can earn higher pay. They would have to abandon social capital that, while it doesn't show up on a balance sheet, costs $ to replace.badmomgoodmomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11569728075698885020noreply@blogger.com
