Girl at least you receiving benefits. Imagine buying all this stuff out of pocket. I pay an unimaginable amount of money on healthy foods for my family. 🤷🏾♀️
But do you live in NYC? 🤦♀️
Nobody is complaining about what they are given. They are stating the OBVIOUS- benefits aren’t enough because prices are HIGH.
@@PettyLeShaaaay I have a household of 5 and I don’t spend $700/mo on groceries!!

@@desertfamilyhomestead3127 okay. That’s YOUR lived experience. But you must’ve missed the part where the woman stated that they live in nyc. So of COURSE cost of living is significantly higher.
@@PettyLeShaaaay no I heard it and that is another reason why she shouldn’t be shopping for all organic on Thrive!! When we are in a tight spot and we need to feed our family we need to look at how to get the most bang for your buck! That doesn’t matter where you live.

I feel sorry for the ones who don’t qualify for assistance and have to deal with these prices not the ones who get assistance.

SNAP benefits are based on a person's income so if you don't qualify it's because you have a higher income it's not based on your bills

Well first your shopping organic of course that will be expensive.
Yup! Too F'KN expensive for no reason!
She needs to budget better and shop at Walmart where prices are way cheaper.
@@okhondaguy3288 Exactly! The ones of us paying out of pocket are affected even more because we have to come up with the cash and my family budgets and shops at Walmart or BOGOs at Publix. Fun stuff like chips are no longer an option unless they are BOGOs!

if you have one your seriously fuc ed in the head

The "food stamp" system was designed to allow people to eat the bare minimum so they aren't starving. She's setting her expectations way too high.
Thing is most food is so bad in taste and quality. But price's are high for it.

Thanks to democrats
Bad ingredients.... wasting money on bad ingredients
@@fernyv4368Usually the ingredients start out good! Once they get you hooked, they start using cheaper ingredients.

Do not know her story about 6 kids ? Not going to ask where is the dad. But she should be shopping at discount stores. We have a big problem with the ebt system.
What is a discount store? Never heard of it.

I am a disabled US Army Veteran in an electric Wheelchair living on SSI, and rent just hiked up to $1200 per month my total monthly income is $200 more than rent and I only get $23.00 per month from SNAP. That is 4.5 gallons of milk for the month. I have to go to a food bank. Luckily I have a basket on the back of my 4-wheel scooter the VA gave me to bring food home. It is not that big either.

Over $700 a month for groceries is really good. That’s $180 for a weekly grocery trip, which is plenty for bulk food, just don’t need to blow your budget on fancy organic grub.
That is 6.30 per day. You need to get a clue.
@@michellem6826,
That could be enough if you know how to budget

@@DaveAnderson-ic6oo Hogwash. Japan doesn't give billions to other countries, and is a far better place to live than the US.
Managed a convenient store for a few years and i've seen people buy junk for themselves with SNAP and deny a snack that their child wanted and in the next transaction they buy beer, cigarettes and lottery tickets and complain about the prices.
Someone once asked for a job application and said "I dont actually want to apply, just want to show the benefits office i am trying to find another job"
I believe it. In 2016 or 2017, I saw a woman buy a boat load food in a nicer grocery store and I was thinking she must be rich. Nope, she was on food stamps, but that wasn't the worst part. She then tried to steal two PRIME RIBS (not the cheap select rib roasts you see around Christmas) that were over $60 each, which looked amazing. I couldn't believe my eyes; she got $300+ of stuff for nothing and now she wants to steal prime ribs. Of course, you could never find a prime rib for that cheap anymore and $300 doesn't even go half as far as it did back then. But still, it tells you that we're giving away money to the wrong people.
And!
How they spend it is not the issue.
What is the use in working when you can get benefits..
Ignorant much? @@neanam
That's not how it works
*Convenience store
They're complaining?! MY TAXES ARE PAYING. and I EAT SOUP MOST NIGHTS BECAUSE I WORK HARD!!!
You work hard and only eat soup?
Bummer.
So your taxes are not paying. Because your income taxes doesnt exceed your returns. You’re actually on the receiving end.
You must not work THAT hard if you eat soup most nights. And honestly, if you're that poor, it's most definitely not your taxes that are doing the heavy lifting.
Your taxes do not pay everyone's food snaps. Your taxes are paying for politicians to send $5k on 1 meal.
@@GnomesRox Dumbest thing I heard. You can work hard and be making 30k a year or less.
Why have all them kids to begin with smh
They thought they were gonna get a BIG tax cut, lol
Why ask why of her and not the oil companies we subsidize and they are making billions. The children are our future.
But, they're here, so what are we going to do about it now? That's just fine with me, I'll be more than glad to support them with my tax dollars.
I’m disappointed you mom didn’t decide to have a rhymes with extortion. We wouldn’t have had to read this insensitive comment
@@Glowsaphinebaker Well termination were made illegal, by the same people who don't want to provide for living children.
Be grateful be blessed think about how people feel who don't get anything that have pay outta pocket with cash
You know what, they are blessed to get any benefits. We are seniors, living on social security. We are 39$ above the poverty line, and get NOTHING; tired of hearing these people complain.
Just because someone is slightly better off than you doesn't mean they don't deserve better and that you don't deserve better as well. We live in a country where the rich don't pay any taxes. We can afford to help everyone is struggling but we chose to help the rich instead.
$39 away?
Some states allow a loop hole.
You MIGHT be able to use medical expenses. Massage therapist/ chiropractor monthly? OTC pills including vitamins/supplements maybe even ensure?
Insurance costs? Devices used for active of daily living including glasses?
These might either get you more benefits or if you don't qualify a number to get you and qualify and some expenses are they say medical...
But the agent NEVER tells you these things ffs...
To much money is spend on old people. The use has a pipeline extracting wealth from the young to the elderly. No other nation is like that in the world.

Wow. That was rude. Try being compassionate and not snarky! First off food prices are high so it wouldn’t matter how many kids she has. And how do you no dad is around? You make some stupid assumptions! Maybe dad died? Maybe they are divorced? Think!

@@empowered3206700 a month is pretty good that lady on some other crap

The whole food stamp thing is BS! You’re allowed to buy candy and Coca Cola for starters … that’s not food! Cry me a river!
I would like to see the program run like WIC. Food companies like Tyson, General Mills, Kellogg’s, Kraft and others will never allow it. Food lobbying in Congress is proliferate.
I love buying food stamps from people HIT ME UP
The problem is a lot of people receiving these benefits are homeless individuals. They need to be able to purchase things that don't need to be cooked.
@@seanthe100 SNAP has a way to individualize the ebt card to allow some people to use certain restaurants like McDonalds and Burger King.
Awww poor tink 😂 sound like u been crying a river
Inflation goes up and SNAP goes up about 12% and social security goes up about 2%. Something about this don't seem right.

Why are these folks having kids when they can’t afford to take care of them financially.
things would change if they enforced child support
Most people don't think long-term, the ones who suffer the most are the kids
@@up-uw4op Not when you are more likely to get Section 8 housing with multiple children and higher benefits, too.
Ignorant comment. Mom or Dad may have had high paying jobs, savings~ done everything right. Maybe someone lost a job, maybe a member of this family got sick suddenly and a parent needed to care for them. There are a lot of scenarios~ that you don’t know. Are there bad actors that play the system, sure, but thats not the norm. Let’s flip it and also talk about corporate greed, the greedy wealthy and on and on. Feeding your family is the absolute basic of needs.
Because we need the next generation to pay for your social security benefits?
Imagine getting something for free and still complaining about it
We keep hearing how Social Security is running out of money.
How come we never hear about
Welfare running out of money?
What's interesting is the first group worked for their money, but the second group didn't.
Largely because social security is way larger it's almost $1.4 trillion every year it's the biggest expense. EBT is large but it's about $100 billion
Many people on EBT are working.
Giving billions to Ukraine ameri
She's spending too much
I can feed a family of 6 for $700/month, and have done it for less (without SNAP - which also means free school meals and probably other benefits). If you can't do it for what you get given to you, you need to make up the deficit. It's a hand up, not a hand out. It was never supposed to provide an organic, plant-based specialty diet - it was supposed to make sure a family could afford the necessitites to make meals. I grew up on WIC, food stamps, government canned meat and cheese - it was never organic or name brand or special - it was being able to keep food on the table. If you need it, you need it, but complaining about $713/month in food you didn't pay or work for .... I take issue with that.
Exactly 🤦🏽♀️
Raising a child from birth to 18 is over $300,000 on average. 6 children is almost $2 million dollars.
@@Mr.White10-65 based on what?
I have to disagree unless you're setting them up in a house and paying all their college tuition
Depends on how you raise your children.
And yet there are somehow people raising kids on a fraction of that.
Shouldn't have kids, unless u can afford them
Ok, I am pretty liberal and totally supportive of our safety nets, but no way do we need to be supporting people to the point they can have all organic foods from specialty stores. She can buy good quality non-organic foods at Walmart like everyone else. Sorry, not sorry.
Quality is quality. I support quality organic foods purchased with SNAP benefits.
Thrive is more expensive than my local stores
As a cancer survivor, I am not keen to consume chemicals. I buy organic fruits and veggies at Winco, and grow my own salads and berries in the garden. Even sprouts can be grown on one's kitchen counter. I cannot afford to buy everything organic, and tend to buy organic to specifically avoid items known to have the highest toxic loads. Nothing is perfect, so I do the best I can. I eat a Plant-based whole foods diet, organic where possible/affordable.
@@teenahweenah2608 I am not going to disagree, perhaps I should have said if this woman wants to use her benefits to buy organic that is fine, but I do not feel inspired to increase her (or anyone's) benefits because of that. I would support more initiatives and actual regulations to increase the quality of ALL food that is within our system, for everyone.
@@sjordan7085 That is so great. My fantasy self would really enjoy producing and growing some of my own produce...my real self is a dismal failure at it. I actually have several rather funny stories about my attempts. Perhaps I should give it another try. Best wishes for your continued health. :)
They get it for free.. be concerned with people who are spending cold cash and still struggling.. eating organic may not be the option that is financially doable. Smh
that’s crazy make all them kids
Once again they can send money to all these other countries but cant help the people within our own country makes a lot of sense
@@latashafeagin Actually, the US sends precious little of its budget for foreign aid, and when we do it's never without benefit to us, somehow. Take Ukraine, we send them money and weapons so WE don't have to get physically involved in Europe and to keep our allies in Europe safer. Same with Israel. WE benefit from stability in the Middle East and Israel is the only Democratic country there. (Sort of, Netanyahu is working to dismantle it there just like the GOP is here.) Africa gets less or no aid in spite of millions starving because the US gets almost no real benefit from that aid. The ACTUAL problem is that the US subsidizes billionaires, fossil fuels, farmers pumping out corn for corn syrup, military industrial complex, etc. We COULD subsidize fruits, veg, organic farming, preventative healthcare, healthy school lunches for all, but we just do not have the political will to do so. My state actually refused federal money to subsidize SNAP for school children ($40 month) during summer to offset the loss of their free school lunches. When did we get to a place where 50% of our country cannot agree that hungry children is NOT A GOOD THING? It's not foreign countries "stealing" this money, it's big corporations right here at home.
"They got money for war, but can't feed the poor" - 2Pac.
I don’t even get SNAP benefits
Same here
Same. I am a young senior now and I make a budget and try hard to stick to it. I think the problem with a lot of people is not knowing how to manage their money they get their Snap benefits and it's a big shopping trip of all their wants and then they run out of money.. make a menu plan buy in bulk if you can and budget instead of racing off to the store. I know this first hand having worked in a bulk grocery store and the crazy things I saw people buy with Snap bulk size boxes of candy pop rings, chips, Monster drinks, it was crazy we all just stood there and shook our heads when they left the store. I think mandatory in person classes should be given on how to plan a menu and how to shop for that menu would be a big help both to the Snap population and the government. Teach them the skills to learn how to make homemade soup beans instead of buying cans of beans when making Chili, Beans with ham, Vegetable soup with beans in it for protein instead of meat, it can be done but I think sadly a lot do not know how to do it. Oh and on sweets.. that's something else they could learn Buckeye Bars are super easy and cheap to make ( think Reese's peanut butter cups) when I was growing up my family was poor and my Dad made homemade peanut butter fudge all the time and milk shakes made at home was a treat we had fairly often. No Bake Cookies is another that takes very little ingredients Oatmeal, Butter, Sugar and Cocoa Powder this versus buying junk food in the store. Anna In Ohio

Spent $65 for all organic groceries today😊. For my family of 3, we tend to purchase $50-100/week in groceries. Shop sales, meal prep, and use what you have. Nearly every household produces food waste AKA wasted money.
It’s effecting everyone.
No it’s not 😂
Please also think about the single moms and dads that work and can’t get any benefits (SNAP) because they so called make to much (????). We can barely feed our kids so, it’s a blessing if you are getting any type of assistance. Food prices are high for everyone right now. So, to get SNAP, and not have to spend your own money is a big blessing.

I firmly believe every child should be fed nutritious food. I have been disappointed with the choices people using food stamps choose. Too much junk in those food haul videos, not enough nutrition. I would like to see SNAP run like WIC. The food industry won’t let that happen but SNAP children would eat more filling nutritious foods. And, it would save the taxpayer 30-50% on the program.

Ok people, your comments are extremely rude/mean/ prejudice: #1 Only poor people/families receive food stamps. If these people didn't receive the help they need most would be homeless and starving. Being poor is the most stressful, and even physically and mentally and emotionally abusive state of existence anyone could live in! We should be fighting against poverty and hunger! No one should suffer from lack of money! Food and shelter should be a human right! If you never had to live through loss of home/ safety/job/ parents what ever circumstances that put these people in the situation than count your lucky stars! Life is hard, you never know what might happen. Be thankful that this program exists and help each other when needed, be a good human! Please, children don't deserve to be hated by you!

That doesn't happen much in Florida!
I've been buying markdown meat, mark down food and non-food for many years even when I worked full-time
@@debbieframpton3857 When I used to live in Connecticut I had store coupons that allowed the doubled manufacture coupons. That is Triple if you put the right ones together. I save my entire year of recipes and bought $3,000 of groceries, with the coupons brought that cost down to $1,999.00 and change. I moved to Florida in 1994. They never heard of Triple matches. Thought I was Joking. But now that I have reached my Golden years I am on a wait list for a living facility. I bought into Walmart's delivery service for $49 per year and no tipping either.There is no set limit of grocery orders like a minimum of $35.00. I am in a wheel chair and that has helped. But Groceries are outrageos in the prices. I worry for my grandchildren.
I just came back from the Ralphs. Food price is out of control. Thank god I don't live paycheck to paycheck but I worry about my neighbor he's a senior on SS, which is his only income.
My income is social security only not all of us seniors are doing bad
Maybe you could help this neighbor budget
It’s affecting everyone not just people with snap benefits gtfoh
I work with a lot of lower income people having them find resources. Most were doing well until about five years ago but also when we ended our energy independence, everything else went up dramatically, because transportation cost had to be passed on. They are very upset at the powers that be and will certainly be voting people out that have made it more difficult.

SNAP should be short term for able-bodied adults under 65. They need to work and eventually have SNAP removed. YOU SHOULD NOT BE DRAGGING KIDS INTO YOUR POVERTY AND ROBBING OTHER TAXPAYERS TO PAY YOUR NEGLIGENT LIFESTYLE ❌💸💸💸
@@viewviewview1236 More kids, more benefits.
SNAP is one of the only things keeping the hand of G-d Almighty from irradiating this place with Chinese plutonium.
To be able to give is a greater blessing than to receive; even in the face of abuse.
@@Mr.White10-65 Exactly. It's need to be "Short-Term" just until the adult has a job in a reasonable amount of time then removed.💸❌
@@ericarona8599Snap benefits should not be taken away from bodied able adults who are working but can only get low paying part time jobs to work under 65 and for the disabled adults 18+ here in the USA getting SSI and/or SSDI along with Medicaid and/or Medicare because they cannot work at all.
Snap is a GREATER cash cow for the farmer
Then it is for the single disabled or family of 4/5...
Learn how the farm bill was written and realize Walmart /big Corp and farmers get greater benefit then anyone else ..
Incompetent segment... In lieu of showing EBT paying for organic food & canned goods... show how bulk buying & food prep is necessary to extend food budget. One can of cooked beans = cost of one whole bag of dry beans; A .79 Cent bag English split peas on special at local grocer = one meal for family of 4 vs. $2 at Walmart. Some Poor don't have the extra money to buy large bulk when on special...
One pound of dry pinto beans ($0.75lb) equals 4 cans of store beans ($0.86x4=$3.44).
Hey google! "SNAP recipients represent different races and/or ethnicities. White: about 37 percent; African American: 26 percent; Hispanic: 16 percent; Asian: 3 percent; and Native American: about 2 percent."
What's your point?
Supermarkets and Grocery stores have hiked up prices even what’s given isn’t enough sure lots are grateful but prices are high.
They selling foodstamps, and i buy them its ruff out here.
There are no stamps anymore.
More than 41 million americans depend on this????🤔
I run out of food in two weeks then i steal food
@@jackhaus5238 why steal?
@@nancyfarkas3592 got to eat food bank gave me cockroaches
@@nancyfarkas3592re read the comment plz!!!!!
Everything in world need snap
Wow, that’s a lot for a family of four. Wish my family can get it.❤
I’m not on EBT but I sure wish I had $6 day for food lol
One trip to the store for one meal plus some eggs and milk we spending 100.00 bucks everytime
The ungratefulness of this woman is beyond reason. She gets her and her 6 kids' food paid for by the government and complains that her taxpayer-provided food stamps don't allow her to buy high-end organic food, you can't make this up. Where is their father or multiple fathers? He's supposed to be financially supporting his kids, not the rest of us.
I only get $23 on my lone star EBT card, and $23 isn’t enough to buy all of my stuff!
That company loves EBT revenues
Get a jahb
Really I am a US Army Veteran and worked 38 years. I live on straight SSI and was the only supporter of my only son. Didn't make much more than minimum wage while working. Don't own a house, car and rent is $1200 in Tampa per month. I get only $1400 per month. I have an electric wheel chair and cannot walk. Where am I going to go to work at when I am on a wait list for assisted living. YOU ARE PATHETIC!!!!
That’s naive of you. Ever heard of the working poor? People who work still can’t feed their families! So many ignorant people here!
I seen people swipe for chips candy sea food boil
From my understanding "41 million Americans" ARE NOT currently on the SNAP program because House Republicans and President Biden imposed "work requirements" last year. Single mothers with children kept their benefits but single men and single women under 54-years-old were cutoff.
#NBCNews we request updated information on the current number of SNAP recipients now on the program compared to before President Biden's "work requirements" deal with McCarthy last year. (July 5, 2024) 🧢🧢🧢🧢🧢
Oh my goodness wish I could spend half of that amount
Thrive doesn't accept EBT in California, though 😔
😔
Its a bit insulting to listen to someone complain about not enough when most of us are barely keeping our heads above water and not eligible for food stamps so we eat ramen and any discounted food items we can get our hands on
