People on SNAP aren't the little match girl or Dickensian characters. They aren't welfare queens, driving their gold Cadillacs to the walfare office either. From my experience, they are families (or severely handicapped individuals) living in circumstances where they need a little help to get by. And I can assure you that even when paying with food stamps, they do compare prices
The discounted Prime could be a good deal for people with limited income. It could replace the cable bill (if they have one) and save on gasoline as well.

I figure all 3 of us are correct.
I agree most are responsible and do think but there is always that 10-20%.
Now where can we find commodities? I bet that cheese would make excellent pimento cheese.
