Of course we are the working poor here in Ontario so we have to find
any deal we can.
I sympathize. Because I now get $100 a month more in Social Security,
my food stamps/SNAP ($285 a month) was taken away from me because you
know being poor at the government's hands is a crime in the US.
That sucks. USDA (who, I think, run the food stamps) need to update their guidelines to reflect inflation.
Meanwhile, ther's always this .........
