WWYD / Peanut Butter Related
Every child in our state is eligible for WIC to help supplement their food. It isn't even income based.
They made changes to their food list to take off almost everything we would eat that they offered.
My husband said I was a food snob because they changed the peanut butter from 'any brand' to 'store brand'. I told them that we wouldn't use it, so they could just take it off the list of foods we could get - and give it to someone else.
This makes sense to me. We can buy our own JIF brand peanut butter.
Why would I take stuff I'm not going to use or appreciate?
A lot of people take everything they can and then either sell it to other people for less than the store price, or they return it to the store to get cash.
I guess I'd rather be a food snob than try to profit from a program designed to help people get healthy food for their children.
Nevermind.. you can just tell me that I'm right. 
Re: WWYD / Peanut Butter Related
can you still get chex cereal on WIC
that was my favorite
I agree with you You are right
dont take what you wont use or dont need
We won't get the cereal either.
Now we just use it for lactose free milk products for the two kids.
I definitely don't think you should take help you don't need. If you can afford the brand name, you certainly don't need assistance buying store brands. I don't understand how they can afford to offer it to EVERY child. So, if I make 250,000 a year, I can still go get WIC? Why?
ETA: I read this again, and it sounds like it's directed towards you, when it isn't.
This is what makes me annoyed/upset with Extreme Couponing - the people who buy 40 bags of cat food when they don't have a cat! (And it just sits in their house, when they could donate it to a shelter or something)
P.S. Ala, now I want PB!
Fair enough - I just didn't know the background.
Lactose free milk is like $4/half gallon.
It's insane.
I don't like store brand peanut butter either, I only eat JIF Natural. If I were to accept anything else it would just sit and go to waste, and it seems unfair to take away from people who need/would use it...
Basically, you're 100% right.
It makes me sad that people sell the stuff they don't need back to the stores. There's no way to monitor this so people can't do this?
Oh, and you're right.
