You do not have time to coupon shop, much less hop around from grocery store to store looking for good deals. Once a week you go to Walmart and hope that your budget will stretch. Some weeks you have a little money to supplement your food stamps but some weeks you do not. Your assignment is to take $4.50 a day or $31.50 for a week and report back on specifically what you would buy that would feed you for a week. You cannot go over, you must pay sales taxes if the item is not exempt. Be specific with what you buy and the amounts. 3. Is your weekly diet on $31.50 balanced? Would you be hungry do you think? Discuss your results and thoughts. 4. Hunger is a huge problem in America. Private charities cannot cope with the amount of hunger that exists in America and food stamps are being reduced. Please discuss one policy measure that might potentially reduce hunger in America. You may not say more food banks as this is not likely
