Foodstamp Chef was born as the direct result of politicians and celebrity chefs that pull the stunt of saying “I am going to live on a foodstamp budget for a week” and then generally nothing else comes of it. ‘Why?’ you may ask, well when they find out how little they can actually buy on foodstamp one can only assume that they said “Screw That!” because we never hear the outcome. In the interim, many of us still have to make those food dollars stretch while those egotistical twits go back to eating things like $8 a pint ice cream and truffles rooted out by a single pig in Germany. 

                For years I complained about it until someone said to me ‘Instead of bitching, do something about it!’. And here it is, a site that not only has recipes but meal shortcuts, couponing, equipping your kitchen and general money saving tips. So, feel free to utilize anything on this site, hope you save a ton of money and maybe have a few laughs along the way.
