If I were on SNAPS…

1. What is SNAPS?  SNAP is a federal program that gives people money to get food so that they can feed their families.

2. What is the average monthly benefit for someone on SNAPS?  A person on SNAP gets $256 from the program monthly. They have about $1.40 to spend on meals.

3. On average, I spend $193.5 on food per week.

4. My life would be different if I were on SNAPS because… I wouldn’t have enough money to get the food I eat and that would really affect my lifestyle and my choices. I would have to change everything that I eat and that would be a big change for me.

  1. You need to make sure your units are the same. Your spending is per week, but SNAPS is calculated per month. They both need to be of the same units.

  2. Hi,
    I really liked how you told us exactly what SNAPS are and how they worked. I also enjoyed reading about how you made a connection by saying how much you spend in a week.
