    I agree it is, but if you spend that amount regularly, it’d be better to try to reduce your budget, painful as it may be, than to snowball toward ever-increasing payment obligations that match or surpass your monthly total for grocery trips anyway.

    These articles make it seem like it’s a routine. If it’s for one-time temporary relief, then that’s another thing.

      It wasn’t, and never will be, for me. However, I didn’t go crazy getting things I don’t need. I went out of my way to get the cheaper option on the vast majority of items. Still $600. That’s at least once a month. I can see why those less fortunate would have a hard time.
