[QUOTE="HaoZi, post: 458850"] Perhaps if the people who are truly homeless or otherwise can't cook for whatever reason and need their food prepared for them, a special SNAP card or specially coded one could be made. We get about $180/month in FS. While I do use it to get snacky stuff in gas stations when we travel, and no I don't really cook much (or nothing most of you ladies would acknowledge as "cooking" any how, lol), Kiddo gets the vegetarian versions of her beloved bacon and corndogs, organic milk (for Kiddo anyway), and we get the Fiber One type versions of snack foods, that 180 lasts us most of the month. Some of that is our pure out finickiness and some of that is that I've gotten MUCH better at doing the couponing thing (learned a lot about saving money on groceries from Dad and you couponing ladies have certainly improved my skills and reminded me of things he did that I'd forgotten about and started implementing as well, so thank you!). Mandated birth control for those on FS - personally I'd be overjoyed to have them cover me going back on the pill and getting a physical every year, but if I was required to pay for those I'd be up that fabled creek. ETA: Also in agreement with Janet's post. I've lived where the 24 hour store was the local gas station, and the next closest was 20 miles away. Not an appealing trip in the middle of the night even when you have transportation. [/QUOTE]
