PLEASE SHARE THIS! REGARDING SNAP CUT BACKS! TIPS FOR FOOD SHELVES AND STRETCHING THE FOOD BUDGET: 1. Try to go and get your monthly allotment before you receive your food support! You will know what you received and then only buy what you need to make meals! 2. Utilize the Fare for All You can get a lot of meat and produce for very little money! In our area we can get 12 - 20 pounds + of a minimum 4 variety of meats for 11.00 and 5 veggies and 2 fruits for 10.00 or both for 20.00! I alone can spend about 10.00 just on 3 pounds of hamburger at a store which is 3.00 + a pound! That is a great deal of meat for about $ .50 - 1.00 a pound! The less you spend at a normal store the more you can stretch budget! 3. Try to make some of your meals into two, the extra can be frozen, like soups, stews, and rice dishes! These are great for the end of the month! You can pull it out, thaw and reheat!
