Give me a fricking break, pecker. I watched a woman with 5 children pay for an unreal amount of groceries with food stamps. Wait, it gets better.

I'm at the edge of my seat. Where could this story be going?

I walked out of the store and watched her load her dump truck load of groceries into a fricking newer model Range Rover.


Mind blown. Did not see that ending coming.

Here is what really happened. That loser heard someone tell him that story once and now spreads it as if it his own. Complete moron.

She legitimately thinks that poor people buy those items on EBT

I've been behind a ton of Louisiana Purchase shoppers in the store and 19 times out of 20 the bags are filled with junk food or what should be considered luxury items for a poor family - steaks, shrimp etc.

But the fricked up thing, is that they dont care if the cards are used for stupid shite like crab legs,steaks,etc

But you cant use it for a rotisserie chicken, fried chicken, tenders, etc. You know, shite that would be used for a meal

A rotisserie chicken could be dinner for a couple days.

Of course

Let's say I trust you on this(I don't, you're obviously lying). Can I still make fun of you for being so fricking stupid that you didn't realize the OP wasn't serious?

They aren't bullshite, i watched it happen, many a times when i used to deliver to a certain grocery chain. There were times the person would be waiting for me to bring the prawns in from truck. Or, as the lady was chopping buffalo up, lady was asking for crab legs.

I've seen 2 women share an EBT card while in separate lines while talking to each other about how they had to run by a different store to get more crabs because the ones they had were going bad. They then proceeded to get into a late model Acura.

Me too before I moved. No Freddies here.

Buy my meat at Costco or Cash n Carry and cut it up myself.

In the grocery stores here, state/feds do not allow cooked food.

I think it's stupid, obviously some one was taking advantage of this, but if its cooked it is more than likely going to be used for the kids to eat.

The stores here, especially for seafood, will make you buy the food then heat it up for you after you buy it

So do they just throw away all the uncooked foods? What exactly are you trying to imply here?

Why?

And i always felt sorry for the deli/seafood ladies having to cut that buffalo up. shite came in all nasty and bloody, whole sides, and they would use a plastic hammer and a butchers knife and try to hammer thru the bones to cut into pieces. Always thought one would cut their fingers off.

And this wasn't just in the shady areas, the Hoosiers(white trash) also loved their pricey steaks and crab legs with the cards.

How hard is it to cook crab legs and prawns?

You boil water, both can be cooked at the same time in minutes.

If I were poor I could do pretty well on $29 with chicken thighs, beans, and vegetables
