This is what poor people have to eat for one whole week in America.
>Americans need to be poor in order to be thin
>>53072016
God, that picture pisses me off. If they can't find a job they should fucking starve, the worthless parasites, and now they complain that they're not getting enough free shit? Un-fucking-believable.
>Buying only vegetables
What poor dumbass pays $30 for Vegan kibble
>>53072016
maybe they shouldn't have imported so many fucking immigrants then
we got some free food, bread, cereals, milk, and thinks like this
but it's every 3 months I think, you get a lot of it but you can't demand more of it in a while
i'm not sure on how it works
>$30
i knew american women were stupid but holy shit

How distinctly american of you.
>>53072016
What a shit selection. This is basically proof that rich people can't shop for shit.
I can eat pretty hearty on $29 a week. Not a lot of variety, but get my nutrition and not starve.
>>53072016
Bullshit, then why are poor people so fat?
>tfw your food budget for one week is 30€
>>53072250
1. they're stupid
2. crap food is cheap, easy, and tastes good
>>53072016
In a high end vegan boutique in L.A maybe.
You can buy 5 lbs of potatoes for $1, and other vegetables for not much more. Bread is 70 cents a loaf, and meat can be bought cheap if bought frozen. The "healthy food is expensive" meme is retarded, and so is thinking families on food stamps only get $29 a week.
>>53072250
Because food stamps can buy chips, sugary soda, and candy.
Also, rather than buying healthy foods in bulk (like dried beans and rice) people buy boxed mac and cheese or other processed garbage.

Is it cheaper to eat at McDolans?

Have you upgraded to 4chan gold yet?
>>53072270
>crap food is cheap, easy, and tastes good
Eggs, oats, beans, chicken breasts etc can be as well. I lived off these foods cheaply, easily for a while. /fit/ as fuck too.
>>53072271
Maybe in the fucking South, not where I live in California.
>>53072016
What's wrong with that? Looks pretty good if you did it right.
>>53072271
How garbage is that bread? There's 99c bread here but it's like eating card board. I'd only use it for stuffing.
>>53072329
How much does chicken breast cost in the US? Here it's like 10€/kg at it's cheapest.
>>53072338
It's not bad at all, get $5 worth of minced meat or a few chops and that's a good meal.
>>53072016
>How is the welfare system in your country
Way better than America's that's for sure
My sister is on disability pension and she gets 1.6k a month
>>53072016
Is that a bunch of fucking limes?
>>53072363
Something like $6/kg
>>53072416
can do a lot with citrus fruits to be desu
>>53072016
Put the whole debate about welfare aside for a second. SNAP is supplemental. You get it when you have income. That is not ALL a family has to live off of.
GUESS WHAT THE FUCKING S STANDS FOR
I get $450 a week in unemployment benefits plus food stamps
>>53072335
I live in L.A you fucking moron.
L.A has cheaper produce than any big city in the South because everything's grown in California or near it.
Are those limes?
Why the fuck would you buy limes to feed a family?
>tfw I know people on disability for mental illness from fucking /v/ who make more than I do working 40 hours a week for just under 15 USD
Not mad at them or the system, moreso mad at how the government knows cost of living is sky-high yet the states do jack shit about minimum wage.
Also fuck 'mentally ill' people
>>53072358
It's not garbage, my bogan friend, its actually very tasty.
Wow, it must be horrible to get money for doing fucking nothing, I can't even imagine. Poor americans.
>>53072449
Where the fuck do you get bread for seventy cents a loaf in LA? I'm calling bullshit.
It's many headaches and jumping through lots of hoops; but it's free money. So how much can somebody really complain about it? I'm confident that if it wasn't in place I would probably have been homeless by now, so I'm very grateful that it exists. You don't get much money by any means, but if you're smart it's enough to survive usually. The downside is that there are shitheads out there that think it's okay to abuse the system for years on end and don't even try to get off of it. But then they'll still complain when the govt wants to make the welfare system more strict to try and catch out cheats like them.
>>53072531
You've never had boliyo? It's actually cheaper, its around 25 cents a roll.
>>53072510
I'm jealous if it's decent, can't spend less than $3.50 here for an alright loaf of sliced bread
>>53072016
How the fuck is this 30 dollars?
Eggs 4$ (being generous)
Lettuce .79$
Avocado .50$
Onion .30$
Green onion .50$
Corn .30$
Tomato .30$
Garlic .30$
Limes 1.40$
Cilantro .50$
Tortillas ~3$
frozen peas 2$
Rice 1.50$
Serrano .20$
Sweet potato .50$
Beans 1.50$
Under 20 dollars, some of these are generous others like rice and beans are the cheapest brands. These are foods I get all the time but maybe these people live in shit states that charge out the ass for produce.
Every single piece of produce on here I can get for under a dollar except for limes where are 4 for 1 dollar year-round
Also their dish planning is shit, almost all of their shit is planned around one meal of tacos with 500 vegetables added to it instead of just some fucking tortillas and beef
>>53072720
Nah American bread is shit
Honestly I don't think any mass-produced bread or dough(which most "bakeries" get frozen) is good here. I like the buttermilk or potato bread from Orowheat I think and that's like 3.50 or 3.99, but it's about the only stuff I can stomach. Big loaves here are basically so fucking dry and crusty they're inedible unless used for garlic bread
>>53072358
>>53072720
I've tried the dollar bread from Aldi. Yeah, it's not great, but you're still having a bit of wank desu senpai.
>>53072822
I was buying the 99c bread from woollies, it's fine for toasting but that's about it tbqf
>>53072875
I've put meat, salad and sauce on cheap shitty bread a few times. Honestly I don't think it's as bad as you make it out to be. Having said that, I do generally buy the more expensive stuff for the same reasons as you... Sort of.
>>53072016
>Poor families buy seven limes and a handful of parsley every week
No wonder they're poor.
>>53073129

>>53072016
You can an get 20 mcnuggets for $10. You do the math.
>>53073368
Also 1 mcdouble or 1 mcmuffin for just $1.49
>>53073368
20 nuggets doesn't seem like much of a meal
Poor people would not bother with organic fruit and veg or health goods with 500% mark up.
$30 of rice, potatoes, eggs, mince is a lot more.
>>53072248
This.
>>53072016
swap the black beans for a bigger bag of brown rice
buy ginger and garlic paste instead of fresh
swap that tortilla for wholemeal bread
doesn't look too bad desu
>>53072438
Mother. Fucking. This.
If you seriously added $10 a week in meats to the foods pictured you'd have some damn good meals.
>>53072016
What a load of shit. I worked at an outdoor recreation company one summer as the cook when I was a fucking teenager. I was able to buy a week's worth of food for 12 people and I only spent $60.00 max. If you can make shit from scratch and know how to plan simple healthy meals you can work off of any budget.
Eat shit Gwen you spoiled wasp fuck.
>>53072066
I agree, anything to have less Americans on this planet is for the better
>>53072016
That's a hell of a lot better than most other countries, if you learnt to be thrifty you could make your dollar go further anyway.
We don't have a welfare system here and OPs pic is what i generally eat for a week (plus some meat tho)
>>53072066
>literally missing the point of a post ''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''THIS'''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''' hard
the joke is that she buys shit like whole grain and rice while trying to understand what its like to be poor, and thats humerous.
some people geez

Are you fucking crazy??that is insane it's like a quarter of that /kg here and cheaper if you get them in large amounts

Apparently it's impossible to eat healthy without spending a lot of money or not being a retard.
>>53072016
All right, i know the memes about americans being fat and vegetablephobic but i don't believe that some vegetables,eggs and limes cost you 28 dollars in the US
>>53072016
sooo
>eggs
>tortillas
>beans
>rice
>tomatoes

poor people eat like normals mexicans? lel
>>53079113
Because Mexicans are poor.
vegetable and fruits are expensive, why don't he buy bread, potatos and some other cheap shit, ffs?
I have no idea how the welfare system works in here but I am pretty sure that if you have the minimum wage (aka no welfare at all), then you are lucky to have 29 USD per week for food (in the case you pay rent or services)
>29$
I can to buy 100 kg of carrots.
>>53079278
>vegetable
Or you can plant some, most really don't need much care
>>53072016
She gave real money for an avocado smaller than a lemon.
>>53078983
It probably does when you're buying organic in some grocery store for rich people
Honestly though, poor people would spend it all on the McDonalds dollar menu.
>>53079113
well yeah. you can get ten pounds of rice for $5 at Walmart. If you went to an authentic mexican crack den you could probably get it a lot cheaper.
>>53072016
>have $29 food budget
>start with organic limes
Also people on food stamps often have other income. The $29 is there to *supplement* their spending, not replace it.
Actual maximum values are attached -- up to $45/week for a single person. Since I live in and expensive area and rarely spend that much on food outside of drinks I get really tired of hearing what a hardship it is.
>>53080064
Doesn't it also differ by state? Never looked into food stamps and such, honestly.
>>53080158
That's from the USDA site.
>>53072016
We have the same problem of living in a prison, organized by capitalist swine and guarded by brainwashed philosophical zombies. A bullet for every capitalist. That is the dream.
>>53080515
Good commies are dead commies.
>>53080578
Are you an owner of an enterprise, extracting vast amounts of wealth from a subjugated, underpaid and underprivileged populace of employees?
If not, then you are not a capitalist.
You are only a person living within a capitalist system. As we all are.
>Oh fuck. Only $29 for groceries this week.
>I KNOW! I'LL BUY 7 FUCKING LIMES!
>>53080578
And undead commies smell funny xD
>>53072016
Oh god what the fuck, what kind of store did she go to for that? You'd get more food for that money in fucking Sweden with our sky-high VAT and shit.
>>53072016
i live in england and could get all that for under £10 and over here our weekly unemployment benefit is roughly £74 a week
>>53080645
Shut up commie
>>53072312
Burger King sells a box of 10 chicken nugget for $1.50. So if you could live on 200 chicken nuggets a week that fits OP's budget
>>53080756
Do you really, honestly believe the capitalist lie?
>>53080823
I ain't talkin to commies
That's about 80XCD
>3 chicken breasts, 20 XCD
>2 bags of frozen vegetables, 40XCD
>bag of ketchup so it has some flavor, 16XCD
>make it last a week
I lived like this for a while during undergrad, it's not very healthy
>>53080894
What specifically has capitalism done for you and the people you care about, that is so great that you must shun all criticism of it? What do you think about the claim that a system which shuns criticism is by definition an authoritarian one?

$29?!?!? Is this like that bullshit chart that Republicans made last year saying that $250,000 a year is barely scraping by after their $400 meals and $30,000 preschool tuition? I guarantee this dumb bitch went shopping at WholeFoods and donated $28 to help corporate overloads afford a new yacht.
You can literally get everything in her picture for around 10-12€. What the fuck are you doing with 7 limes anyways? Margaritas in the evening?
>>53072016
I live on food stamps and this is retarded
your ebt card get charged at the beginning of the month. you go to costco or walmart and buy your food supply for the month. buy in bulk and try to get the most for your buck, that means don't buy organic shit they sell at whole foods. then try to just ration out your food supply for the month, you'll probably run out (usually you run out with like a week left till next month) but since you leave a little still on your ebt card you can go back and get more food to survive for the rest of the month.
you have to be retarded to shop like that, maybe I just know how to shop poor since my family lines been poor for centuries but no poor people I know would buy all that organic shit.
