The October Food Stamp Challenge is considered in full effect immediately.
As of 12:01am on October 1, 2011, we are officially on a food stamp budget in the total amount of $279.18.
As mentioned previously, this amount is equal to one month’s average SNAP benefits for two Alabama residents, plus 10% added to make up for the sales tax that would not be charged on an actual EBT card.
The image to the left is a scan of the actual card and the receipt verifying the amount of the purchase.
This video is a short introduction to the challenge as well as what we hope to accomplish by taking it.
