Welcome to FL where they cut my food stamps!
On disability due to mental issues I depend on food stamps to live.

Admittedly, as an anorexic I dont eat *that* much.

But with Ensure at 8 dollars a six pack, drinking one for every meal adds up fast. I only have 75 dollars left after paying my bills.

That's okay. I will sleep well knowing that Jeb Bush is eating well this Christmas!

:grr:

try Carnation Instant Breakfast instead of Ensure
My dad's Dr. told him it had the same nutritional content and it's less expensive.

1. God, honey. I'm sorry to hear this. A nation's soul is determined by
how they treat their most vulnerable people. I think this country hasn't seen the worst yet. :(

You can print a coupon here. I know that doesn't help much, but if you can have an unlimited number of coupons, that will save you a few bucks.

BTW, I'm sorry about those sorry MF's that think they are justified in saving a few bucks on the backs of the disabled.

3. Do you have to have Ensure?
When my aunt quit eating, her Dr. recommended Ensure. After explaining to him the cost was prohibitive for her, he told us to fix her protein shakes instead.

You can buy a gallon jug of protein powder for around $20. That will make about 46 shakes. Add fruit to the shake for vitamins.
