Food Stamp Video

After watching the food stamp video in class on Monday, I realized how lucky I am to be able to actually afford food. Majority of the time I eat out instead of eating at home. I looked at my bank statement, and I spend about $100 a week on eating out. On top of eating out, I get groceries every two weeks.  I spend about $300 a month on groceries. In total, I spend around $700 on food. I didn't realize that families receive very little when it comes to food stamps. I couldn't imagine having such a small budget for food, or even having to portion my food every day. There are many people that look down on the use of food stamps, but they don't know the other side of the story.
