EBT? You get water, juice, or milk. No sodas lol

the only things that should be allowed with EBT are things necessary to survival. hell, juice probably shouldnt even be considered acceptable sincce most kinds of juice are just sugar drinks

Ya they did change that

no TV dinners, no frozen meals.

Yeah, I'm putting juice in there though because kids. No frozen meals, BUT you can get the stuff to make it yourself

Vegetables, fruits, basic meats, water. That's it.

i see EBT people buy a bunch of fancy expensive tasty frozen dinners and TV dinners. i hate that shit.

But my sister says they clear out the steak and seafood shelf's every month

Like you can't get frozen french fries...but you can buy potatoes.

Like 2k in ebt

the people i see are too lazy for that, but again, i didnt work at a grocery store.

so people probably do that shit

its disgusting.

If you want to make French fries from potatoes, go right ahead lol

But I wouldn't want it to be fun, or enjoyable, or easy. If it's any of those things, it removes motivation to get off of EBT and start making money for yourself.

ive made french fries at home before, they taste really good compared to buying frozen ones, and even buying french fries from fast food places.

Steak fries are easy as hell to make

I'm not making crinkle cut but I'll make my own fries lol

i just slice a potato into thin circles (not quite chips, enough potato to be considered fries) then i fry them in a pan with butter, salt, and pepper.

so good.

super lazy and easy

I had to be on welfare for a min and was embarrassed about it but me and my wife still uses coupons and bargain shoped

i think people should be embarrassed to be on it. i dont like that good people feel that way, but thats how it should be.

Anyone watching the press briefing?

I've been on EBT before. It was after my first marriage ended and I basically had a breakdown. I'm not proud of it, but it happened, and I got off of it.

I don't usually watch the briefings, I just get the highlights afterwards

I'm epileptic. I worked my entire life, until my condition got bad enough I could no longer work. I can never drive again. Now I'm on Disability, and hating it.

That sucks

When I worked, I made a good amount. On Disability, I get about $500 a month. And I'm on EBT.

Like legitimately, that sucks. My nephew has epilepsy, it was really bad for a while and he wasn't allowed to drive or anything. This was also before the internet was everywhere so it was extra shit for him

Imajica you said you live on the Rez?

Yep, @WarWiz . But I'm not a native.

@DishonoredRonin. That’s not too terrible, as long as you have retirment and savings

Oh I'm native and have benefits but don't use them

I don't, @DonkDonkJuanHundo All my money and savings went into medical to KEEP me working.

It depends on where you live. In most cities, that 500 a month won't even cover rent.

Oh, sorry about that big time then. I cant imagine that. Sorry about you situation

S'okay. My point is, some people are on EBT because they don't have a choice.

I *HATE* not working.

That's true and others make a career out of it

Agreed.
