Round out your food bill by shopping at wallmart? Where 90% of the food is packaged/processed crap that has no nutritional value? I admit... I buy my instant oatmeal at walmart for 4.50. I'll buy it at target if it's cheaper or if safeway has it onsale. Sometimes we will buy eggs from walmart or buy frozen fruit like blueberries. Tho, that is a luxury item.
I don't know what you would by buying for your kids to supplement scraping by shopping at walmart, but I'd rather see you go on foodstamps and shop for a healthier alternative if you can't afford fruit or vegetables.
With kids I would think it would be easy to qualify and farmers markets (from what I hear) does accept food stamps.
As far as I am concerned walmart is the worst place to buy food. There is no need to get frozen vegetables since farmers market will undercut any store usually even if it is onsale. Sure you'll have to wash it and do a bit more prep work like chopping it up instead of just tossing a bag of crap in a microwave.
Rice has a shelf life of 30+ years if stored right. If just in a bag can last up to 10 years. Beans also have a long shelf life..One could live on nothing but rice for a GOOD long time. If you wanna be a prepper just buy a bunch of rice. It's cheap and stores well plus you can eat it as you store it! BONUS!
