(71,038 posts)while working a clerks job which paid very little. It wasn't enough to cover all the food in a month. I made sure my kid ate, but I didn't have much to eat...mostly starch which makes me hungry (found out years late I am a celiac)...but the attitude of other shoppers when I went to the grocery store was ridiculous. I would buy a big box of cold cereal with a coupon. My daughter wanted that for breakfast...and every time I heard how oatmeal was cheaper and buy God children especially poor children should eat what they are told to eat blah blah...taxpayers shouldn't be forced to pay for 'luxuries' which their own kids don't get...blah blah. I still remember that and think about it today. Those folks many who had way more than they needed were hard hearted and cruel to a girl (not even 21) struggling to leave an abusive husband with a baby. Eventually I moved back with my parents who sent me to college. My parents were the best people I have ever known.
