[quote=Anonymous] My mom thought I wouldn't have a grocery bill since I receive WIC benefits. She was shocked to see what it really provides. I appreciate it, for sure, but it's basically only milk, cheese (16oz), eggs (2 cartons), cereal (2 boxes), bread (2loaves), juice, a small jar of peanut butter, and a small allotment for fruit and veg ($6). I don't have my checks in front of me, but this sounds right. I still have to put a lot (for me) of money towards groceries. I've heard that food stamps are better because there's more latitude in what you can get. On WIC, you can only get the specific things listed. I wish, for example, that I could get yogurt or more cheese instead of all of the milk I'm offered through WIC. Evidently, you can't transfer the $$ to a similar food. [/quote]
