Howie Carr:
Grace Reveals FULL Whole Foods Receipt.
[Grace Curley]
As you know, we received a Whole Foods receipt last week. You’re probably thinking, so what? Well the reason we took such an interest in said piece of paper is because all of the food bought at the ritzy grocery store/ stinky cheese emporium was purchased with…you guessed it, an EBT card.
But Howie Carr Nation was not satisfied with the receipt’s lack of detail. Sure, we saw the total was a whopping $570 dollars. And yeah, the EBT Food balance was a hefty $2,194 bucks. But what items were actually purchased?!!
It was without a doubt the question of the century, rivaling other inquiries like Who Shot JR? and Did Howie break Grace’s Mug? (Answer to the latter is yes, of course he did.)
But late yesterday we received the prized pig. Or in this case prized kielbasa.
Check out the long list of fancy foods. And then I’ll give my professional shopper’s analysis of these delicious delicacies. more here
This kind of shit is why I am forming a National Society For Misanthropes.
🙁
Being up front and honest, my parents struggled often. Dad always had minimum paying jobs and mom stayed home raising the 7 of us.
There were times we received ‘hand-outs’ of bread, cheese and I don’t remember the other basics that helped us sustain life. But there was NEVER the option of securing ‘unnecessary’ food items.
The liberals have sold this country for a ballot box full of votes, and that really pisses me off!
I didn’t even know there were that many types of jerky.
How in the fuck many human orbs qualify you for 3 grand of EBT goodies?…monthly…
haven’t you had enough?
where are the pitchforks on the steps of Congress?
F-ing deadbeats. I’m sick of this.
I see a lot of young, employed people in my small town paying for junk food with EBT cards and healthy, young women buying organic produce and other premium goods with WIC “coupons”. I guess the govt. benefits don’t cover the high end bottles of wine they purchase with cash afterward.
Meanwhile, I’m trying to scrounge up my non-taxpayer funded coinage while I make a decision on whether to buy the delicious looking 3.5 ounce frozen rib eye steak at dollar tree or opt for whatever brand of hot dogs are on sale at the grocery store.
There are way too many freeloaders these days and they don’t seem to have the slightest bit of shame about it either.
About 5 years ago my granddaughter found a receipt left by the self checkout showing pre-washed baking potatoes, rib eye steaks, some other convenience foods, etc. It was paid for with an EBT.
I didn’t see this myself, but mrs saddleburr did. Certain purchases by the woman ahead of her in grocery store line were rejected, but woman’s EBT account balance came up on the screen. More than $2000.
And I watched one of the WIC abusers go out to the parking lot and get into a very recent model, high end SUV with “custom” rims and tires and drive away.
How well will they be eating when those cards no longer work?
I often feel like the only dumbass paying for food with cash. I’d rather pay cash. That’s just me.
There is a tipping point coming.
In the past, if you didn’t work you didn’t eat. And you didn’t advance in your vocation you ate beans.
@ Carpeye – That makes at least two of us. And, it’s a bit in to pay with that evil cash!
@ Crazy White Cracker – what are the dues and other membership requirements…
I second all above comments
with steam coming out my ears ?!?!?!!!!!
This is all coming to an end soon an then the revolution is going to start! Thank you president Trump!!!!
One of my neighbors is a Cham. local, when they had seven
kids in the house they made an embarrassing amount
of money on their EBT card, but they were honest people.
Their kids are turning out to be damn good kids also. There
are some good people on d’welfare.
HooowwwwiiiiiiEEEEEEEE!!! You made my day! He is the only one in the Bay State performing any investigation of welfare fraud. Yep, this is Massachusetts and how we appreciate your money!
@PHenry — “mrs. saddleburr” ??! Oh, that’s too funny!
I have a friend who refers to herself (in relation to her husband) as “autoharp.”
@jellybean — There was one time in our young family’s life when my dad was also out of work for an extended time due to a recession in the forestry business. I remember an occasional box of generic staples like powdered milk, beans, cheese, peanut butter, etc. Not the kind of thing you feel good about getting. Franklin had it right, people were supposed to be uncomfortable in their poverty. It is what gave them the motivation to not be poor. And in a country with so much opportunity and freedom to do what your talents can bring you, no one has to be poor unless one is simply physically or mentally disabled. Today we have a comfortable hammock instead of a safety net. And now, especially, since no one has to count out paper “food stamp” coupons, the stigma of being “on the dole” has been erased, too.
@Bubba’s Brother. Can I buy you a rib eye steak you can sink your teeth into? Seriously. NO ONE should have to buy a 3.5 ounce, frozen steak at Dollar Tree. This is America, for heaven’s sake!
(You have to buy the wine.)
Bubba’s Brother
If you lived close you’d be my first hire on the big 2017 recovery. Hang in there buddy. Been there.
Several months ago I paid a visit to the Social Security office. I expected to find the place full of octogenarians and immigrants. Nope, it was full of healthy 20-somethings all there filing for disability. No wonder the country is broke.
A misanthrope club, by definition, can have only one member, it is I.
A few years back a LARGE woman dropped her EBT card in front of me at the checkout.
She was too fat to be able to pick it up. She asked me for help, told her I already helped her too much. She got one of her crotch fruit to fetch it.
If looks could kill. LOL.
The cashier almost needed a moment, she was laughing so hard.
@Brad and Abigail – thanks for the kind thoughts. I try to eat as cheaply as I can while at the same time trying to get decent nutrition for my dad – the challenge is finding something he’ll eat without too much sodium.
He doesn’t seem to want to eat anything much since my mom died a few years ago and he won’t eat anything I cook ….. just on general principle apparently (I’m actually a pretty decent cook, but he won’t even try anything I make because it won’t be like my mom’s). I haven’t tried the Dollar Tree steak yet, but I’ve been tempted LOL.
While I was in the store the other night, there weren’t any of them in the freezer and someone asked the manager if there were more in the back. The manager brought out a “fresh” box and there were 3 people waiting on the steaks by the time she got back with them. A couple of people said they were fairly decent for what they were LOL.
What kind of wine shout I get for steak Abigail? White or red MD 20-20?
Dang it, Bubba! Now I’m in for the wine, too!! 🙂 You may NOT drink MD 20-20 with my rib eye!! LOL!
I hope you don’t think I’m kiddin’.
This confirms it — my call to end the EBT handout (w our tax $$) and replace it with government cheese milk and bread makes me a stone-cold hearted SOB. The EBT obviously never gets abused and without it, poor children here in the US would look like starving children in sub-Saharan Africa.
Trump’s Tax Payer Budget addresses this gravy train. His budget calls for the able bodied EBT / welfare people to get a job.
During the budget Congressional hearing I was surprised to learn that “one in five” Americans are collecting disability, which is Medicare for people under 65, that’s 20% of the population, that’s 70 million people.
Trump’s Tax Payer Budget has money dedicated to investigating welfare and disability fraud. The Dems are going crazy, they are desperate to protect their base.
I’ve had the Dollar Tree steak. I’m not sure what cut of meat it actually is that’s glued together, but it isn’t bad. Much of what we buy is Dollar Tree, Big Lots, Goodwill, Salvation Army, resale shops and clearance.
Anyway, when the collapse comes – and it will – the predictions are correct that most of these people will seize up and starve to death. But enough will come pouring out of whereher they live and start stealing from anyone else because they will feel perfectly entitled to do so, because they already do.
I just hope gated communities with leftist voters get pillaged first, because I didn’t cause any of this.
