If you are going to complain to customer service at the grocery store about your welfare check card being overdrawn or whatever and making me wait; do NOT pull out a brand new @#%^ing Blackberry Pearl and call the Welfare office.
Why are you on Welfare with a $200 phone (with plan) and a minimum bill of $99 a month?

On the upside, at least she hasn't sold it for drugs yet.
You ARE talking about one of them minorities, right? As for the food thing, I once spent six months living on about $60 a month for food. It's amazing what things cost when you're willing to buy food that's almost completely unprocessed and put a lot of time into cooking it. And if you're willing to live on beans, rice and homemade tortillas most of the week(hand to god, I used to make homemade tortillas 3 mornings a week), that doesn't hurt either.
Not the healthiest way to live, but based on the $100 budget, I'd have had a lot of money for additional food variety to fill in the gap.
It's all a matter of how much time you're willing to spend cooking.
At the time, I didn't have a choice. It was either spend time making my own food or starve. I know for a fact it can be done.
Nowadays, sometimes microwaving something is too much work.
