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

[Feythfull]

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.

[Demonskid]

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.

[Gabe Puratekuta]

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

[Demonskid]

[Gabe Puratekuta]

True. Also news commercials

[Demonskid]

[Gabe Puratekuta]

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

[Feythfull]
