[quote=Anonymous]OP, not sure if you are still reading, but I am truly sorry for what you're going through. That sounds very, very frustrating and I can see why you got so upset.

I have also been on a poor (my paychecks literally only covered my bills with nothing left over for food or anything), and I am thirding or whatever the suggestions to shop at Aldi. If you go to an Aldi in a decent area, it is just as nice as other grocery stores, and caries organic and gluten free stuff, as well as rotating/seasonal items (beach towels, veggie spiralizer, etc). The food is very nice quality.

You can also sign up to get a weekly box from Hungry Harvest. They do reclaimed produce, so stuff that is still perfectly good to eat but grew too big/too small, farmer grew too much etc. They are working to eliminate food waste. You can get a box of fruits and veggies for $15 each week.

Here is a cookbook put out by a food scientist on how to eat well on a food stamp budget: https://www.npr.org/sections/thesalt/2014/08/01/337141837/cheap-eats-cookbook-shows-how-to-eat-well-on-a-food-stamp-budget

Also, although people are mocking the weird ass job suggestion, it's not a bad idea when an extra $20 can be the difference between being able to afford food or medicine or not. There are things you can do from home like online writing or transcription that don't pay a lot but can be just enough to make a difference. [/quote]
