It’s not a simple as you think. I am on a fixed budget due to being on disability. I get paid a $1200/month after rent, utilities, medicine co-pays etc I’m lucky to be able to afford to get to the store for groceries, mid month like now, I have no money to be able to just run and get something. I get food stamps, but I don’t get them until the 24th of every month, so I have to make sure my food supplies last until the 1st so I can afford to go to the store, which is 20 mins away.
