Please tell me your dear sister has actually tried to do this - and just to keep it real - in a less than ideal kitchen after working 8 hrs. at a minimum wage job with 2 preschoolers. For a month. I'll wait and check back in. 
"It's like everyone imagines that if they were poor, they would make the best poor person and actual poor people are doing it wrong"--my sister on those weird shaming articles about how easy it can be to feed a family of four on $100/week and meal prepping or whatever

she has and she does as have i. that's the point of the tweet.
-
Oops, my bad, I misunderstood. I totally empathize.
-
no worries!

Two people disagree, argue and realise there was a small misunderstanding, so they apologise and move on. THIS IS NOT HOW TWITTER WORKS!

Sarcasm & irony r hard 2get online. I never understood the pt of those articles. If these ppl were being ironic like Jonathan Swift's "A Modest Proposal", I'd get it. Shaming is uncalled 4. Start lending a hand. Change the things that help rather than harm others.

I once tried to get by on just 100 worth of food a week for just myself and my cat. that's like hard-mode living.
-
I get ca 300 dollars a month for food, the phone bill, etc (everything aside from rent, the electrical bill and a bus card) here in Sweden. I bet those on welfare in the US struggle even more.
-
That doesn't sound like that much ? How much groceries does CA 300 buy?
-
Really? I could easily buy food for at least just myself on $100 a month US.
-
Easily? What did you buy with $3.33 the first day? If noodles are $0.50 its clearly at least possible to have a $2.00 dinner. Good diet? Easy? Hmmm.
-
Potatoes. Rice. Beans. Bananas. Eggs. Sorry being poor isn’t glamorous enough for you? Do you get off on shitting on poor people or something? I’ve been on SNAP myself for years thanks.
-
No that's good information. Nobody has been saying "do this...". Bacon can add fats to a starch diet using small amounts. Also making soup/stew stock really does result in almost zero waste and can be added those things. Do continue to school me...
-
Yes! Cooking a whole chicken and then using the bones to make stock/broth... I love doing that. Can't so much in the summer though because I can't afford to run AC and it gets too hot.

We had a Canadian politician that went on "welfare" for a month. Anyway, that's around $1 / person / meal ignoring kids snacks. Supplies on top of that I assume. Brutal. She does that, or just shames people?
-
No, that tweet was about someone who enjoys sharing shaming articles and then comments on them, like it's such an easy thing to do. Or at least that what I think she meant.

I wrote a few of those blog posts back in the day. But it was because we were living below the poverty line, had four kids to feed, and I had found ways to keep our heads above water that I wanted to share with others. Not all motives are sketchy.

I think there's a huge difference between saying, "This is how we're coping," & acknowledging that it's hard and it sucks, and saying, "This is how *you*, random poor person, *should* be able to cope, and if you don't, you're just lazy." I'm sure your blog posts were helpful.
