FEEEEED ME
"Well I am a single mom of 4 teenagers, I spent most of my check on groceries. Paid phone bill and attempted to get my car fixed, unsuccessful. Hopefully the groceries will last a while but hey I have teens, not likely."

The Stimulus
In January, Congress approved $152 billion in economic stimulus checks for millions of American households, intended to boost the economy and avert a recession. Just how this money will be spent remains to be seen. We hope this website helps shed some light on where the stimulus money is going.

Teens DO eat a lot! My boys are still young, and I'm scared of how much our grocery budget will increase when they get to be that age. :"P
I feel lucky that we can afford groceries right now, but all our stimulus is going to medical expenses so I don't know what on earth we would have done if we couldn't afford groceries like some people out there! :(

Looks like you are buying a lot of garbage food there.
Chips and soda?
Give me a break. Try planting a vegetable garden piggy.

What the... ?
Not everyone has the space, time nor resources to plant vegetable gardens. And who said this photo is of her shopping cart specifically? She could've been taking a photo of someone else's, ya know.
Try feeding teenagers anything BUT chips and soda and see how far you get, Hefa. ;)

Wowsa... there aren't rules, but a please statement asking for something... doesn't mean everyone will do that. And even if it IS hers, she has the right to spend her money on whatever groceries she wants.
And considering your original comment was deleted, Benny, I don't think I need to further this with you. :)
Have a nice day!
