One thing that helped me stretch my SNAP benefits was : Water.... It is a natural filler and helps to make a larger amount to what you receive. you can add about 20% water to the milk you receive and make it last longer. The juice from canned vegetables can be drank instead of spilled out, and you can add more water to the bagged beans or peas to make a larger pot of soup. If you cut portions down at each meal there will be more to go around. Save your egg shells, potato and apple peels and coffee grounds for compost and try a small garden. Learn your wild edibles as there are many in Kentucky for most of the year especially wild mushrooms and edible roots. Make weaker coffee to save on grounds. Make a meager budget and stick to it. Keep your thermostat turned down and wear extra clothing inside to stay warm. #SNAPStretchStories#FoodRadarCommunity#FoodSecurity#BudgetLiving
