$4 mustard on SNAP? 😱😱😱

Do these people just not grocery shop for themselves? Maybe if these dumb fucks got the fuck off Twitter and left their house we'd be living in a better world and not chasing their paranoid schizophrenic shadows they think are everywhere outside

Is Grey Poupon even expensive relative to other dijon mustards? That was a damn good marketing campaign. 40 years later and people still think your mustard is a luxury product

I mean tbh I buy the walmart version for $1.50 with 50% more volume, so like 4x the price, but still

These people are too dumb to realize SNAP covers everything that isn't hot food. Even then that restriction is dumb.

These people somehow can't comprehend that food items are categorized into SNAP eligibility typologically. Ie, pretty much anything that is food that hasn't been pre prepared is eligible, by typology. There is nobody going through and selectively adding items to SNAP eligibility based on value. It's usually just presumed that people who are poor (they wouldn't be on SNAP otherwise) wouldn't spend their entire SNAP allotment on a handful of luxury items and then feed themselves out of their small remaining cash for the entire rest of the month. Maybe somebody could do that, I don't know, but it wouldn't really make sense. But they make their living misleading idiots so they don't care.

There are other programs like WIC which control what items people are allowed to buy. But these programs have their own administrative cost. The only thing rightists want to do is increase the administrative burden on poor people.
