About this listen

We push into the hard edges of SNAP: who it helps, who it misses, and how incentives shape what ends up on the table. From $292 to $975, from whole loins to rice and beans, we test frugal tools, rant about fast food EBT, and ask for real stories from the field.

• why discomfort can drive progress and comfort can stall it
• how SNAP amounts compare to real grocery costs
• eating well on less using bulk cuts and staples
• unfair hoops after layoffs and how people game the rules
• concerns about EBT at fast food and corner stores
• proposal for curated food boxes to improve nutrition
• rising bills, cutting subs, and living within limits
• hustle culture myths versus patient, steady work
• family housing and support as cost relief
• the push and pull between safety nets and self‑reliance
