Back when I was on it, I didn't know I could also tax deduct food costs. I was on the higher tier then also. This was before it was done online at all, and I seem to remember it being somewhat a hassle. Before that, DH had done all of our grocery shopping, and he quit saying I had gotten where he couldn't keep track what to buy due to the food program lol. I am not sure how much work it is now, but from what I know about dietary stuff now, I know much of what they allowed or called "healthy" wasn't really. I make much better choices for my own family than I did then, because I know better now. But if I wanted to feed kids like I do now, I am not sure I would find the lower tier worth it either.
