Strictly meals? If you cook (if you don't, do), buy a bunch of vegetables (an onion/garlic, greens/spinach, sweet potatoes, squash, roots like carrots/? , etc). Chop em up and lightly stir fry them with some olive oil. Depending on where you are, this should run you around $25-40. The veggies alone should last you and about one week, 2 loaves of bread will be around $2-5. A lb. of rice = $1-2, 2 cans of beans $2-3, Meat = $7-10/lb. = $37-60 Max.
Also, I'm assuming you got an 1/8. You might want to flip at least a g of that and make some of your $ back. -
Pasta
Cold cuts sandwiches
Cereal
Eggs
Chicken
Ground beef
Rice
My girl just cooked 2 big ass trays of chicken/rice dishes yesterday (not necessarily to save money just so we don't have to cook anymore this week) and they're bomb and really didn't cost much.

Do tell... He's grown. He paid all his bills. He bought some mid to ease his stress, knowing that he's got family to feed. That's his choice. If he can handle that, then who am I to judge?
Again, we all have done some questionable things that we didn't want to be ragged on about.
Nah all his bills weren't paid cause he doesn't have groceries in the fridge to feed his wife and kids, on top of that knowing he was gonna be on a limited budget he goes and spends damn near half of what he has to make it to his next check on some loud? Nah I can't cosign that ? , sounds ? fatherless to me. -
If he didn't have enough money to eat because of some ? up ? that was completely out of his control I could empathize with the man, but he was already in a tough spot and put himself in an even tougher spot for a luxury, some ? he can go without? And ? on here really don't see how ? up that is? Like c'mon man you gotta be kidding me right, am I being trolled?

As a man you have to learn some lessons the hard way, this is one of those times where he needs to learn it the hard way. You put yourself in a bind, he better work his way out of it aint nobody finna hold his hand out here. -

What type of hating ? is this, ain't asking ? to hold my hand, I'm asking for a grocery list ? , 3 post and all your ass has done in this ? was try and make a ? feel bad, take your depressing ass somewhere. "This dude made a bad choice so I hope his FAM starve so he learn a lesson" the ? type of ? is this brother. -

Don't judge that man for smoking his trees.

I won't, but mid tho?

$40 for some mid? No wonder you're broke. You make terrible financial decisions.

This is true...but even if you got money I can't co-sign $40 for some mid grade...that should never be an option. That's disrespectful to the blunt it's being rolled in. -
Yall keep talking about $40 on weed. I want to talk about this mid. Where do you find that ? ? I ain't seen mids in dam near ten years.

Go buy some pressure. ? them kids.

A ? kno what it is to be down bro...
I appreciate that ? for real, and all the love here,but imma take care of this, ain't the first struggle lol. Did some ? tonight tho, hit up this ratchet, ole girl blessed me *gave her $40, she gave me 100 ebt* I gotta pay her when I get paid though, bought my lil one some Wendy's and sent her to grannies for the week, she love her so she don't mind. I got $10 of surplus now ? lol. Imma look into that self sufficient ? when I get off work. Preciate the advice for real IC, imma be the chicken and rice maestro by the end of this ? .
Don't even listen to people tellin you to get the EBT plug that's still hustling backwards. Why pay to use one when your girl qualifies to get her own? Then you can keep your money in case you need actual cash.
If you can motivate you chick to get her ass up bright and early and down to the county building... She'll be there a few hours around all the typical welfare riff raff, and have to fill out some paper work but she'll get that $200 card that day, have time to get to the market and have chicken fryin on the stove by the time you get off work, bro.
I'm not gone lie you/her would hate being there... I know I did but at the end of the day I looked over and my daughter ain't miss NO meals. You pay state taxes, that ? is yours.
