I am a single, disabled, grandmother raising a 13 year old grandchild. I get my disability check, less than $1,000 a month. I pay my rent, utilities, and other bills without any assistance and without any child support from the mother...the father is "unknown". I get $458 a month in SNAP benefits for 2 people. You can do the math if you like, I get $7.53 per person per day to feed us. The average cost per day to eat, cooking at home, is $15 - $25 per day depending on where you live. Most people that receive SNAP benefits spend them like they would real money. Most people buy normal food, not junk food, to last all month and they budget them...like I do. We get half or less than the national average per day to feed our family. SNAP is NOT a flex or anything to be proud of to the NORMAL person.
