I like what Mike said.
We spend less than $100 a week on groceries-family of 5. That includes diapers and baby food and formula for my youngest. She's almost through with formula and baby food, maybe one more month.
Alcohol-Zero
Tobacco-Zero
junk food-very little.
My wife normally tells me what dinner cost (and lunches are free since they are normally leftovers). We often feed the entire family for less than five dollars. Sometimes less than three dollars for an entire meal. I consider the venison as virtually free since the shotgun is more than ten years old, I haven't bought hunting ammo for 3 years, and processing costs less than a dollar a pound.
Concerning drug tests for welfare recipients, absolutely. I have no problem with people ODing on whatever they want to OD on as long as they are taking their idiocy out of the gene pool. What I have a problem with is my tax dollars contributing to their habit. I don't want to enable them. I don't want to condone their behavior. If I had the choice, I wouldn't contribute any welfare dollars to drug addicts.
What I don't get is that I (and everybody in the military) have to undergo mandatory drug testing for the privilege of working my butt off for the chance to die for my country. Why can't welfare recipients take a drug test in order to take on the responsibility of sitting around collecting welfare checks? I guess if I pop on a test, I'll just go straight to the welfare office, pass go, and collect two hundred dollars. Sounds good to me.
