The dollar amount itself is fine, but SNAP should be supplemented with basic commodities. Beans, rice, flour, sugar. The prices for these when purchased at the volume of the federal government drop to near nothing.
what exactly are you saying here? I spend about $300/month on groceries and I eat pretty well.
edit: maybe you're still talking about feeding a family of three?
Usually in those financial conditions you also know your time is better spent elsewhere. An extra hour per day practicing for interviews is much better use of your time than cooking. So you do the most efficient thing possible, which is just throw whatever is cheapest per lb into a slow cooker and eat it for the rest of the week. Most stuff is pretty disgusting after a few days in the fridge.
It's probably possible do meal prep cheap/fast/delicious, but I definitely never learned how. Tips appreciated!
You could eat a steak a day at that budget
