you get like a card (similar to a credit card) and each month they give you a certain amount of 'money' called food stamps (there used to be special paper money for this but they use the card now)

you use it on food products except stuff like redbull

I see! Yeah when I saw a woman using them they were little pieces of paper. And you don't get a lot so you have to buy whats cheap. I think I would eat a lot of peanut butter. I keep getting it while it's on sale for $2.

yea.. you don't get much.. what we get is cheap *so its hard to eat healthy cause the healthy stuff costs more*

I remember the paper money :3 I was like 4 years old mom took me to this little conveniant store for a slim jim and the store dude said 50 cents was half of a dollar. I had a food stamp bill mom gave me equivalent to one dollar.. so i tore it in half to make it 50 cents xD

AND then as I am older and i tell this to someone over the net. a few months later i see a commercial of a girl tearing a dollar in half to show her dad 50 cents or something -.- i was sooo pissed.

lol i swear there are satellites watching us stealing out good ideas!

Not if I can help it!!

that was one of my favorite childhood memories too.. only cause its one that mom actually remembers too >o

Was that a local commercial? Because I don't remember it

i wouldn't know if it was local or not =/ local stuff is normally just cars and certain stores xD

True. Also news commercials

xD i only see those on the channels that have news on them =w= which i never watch c:

thats a really cute memory DK

Yeah. I can't remember much about my childhood. Or rather, nothing has triggered a memory of the period

I don't remember much from mine

I remember bits and peices :3

like the time i was 4 I cut my hair and glued it to moms bed then colored it with bingo dabbers =w=

lol wow thats strange

I'm guessing you did that for Mother's Day?
