In fact, weâre not spending enough on food stamps. The need for food assistance is greater than food stamps can fill, and the benefit amount is too low to allow a family to purchase an adequate, healthy diet. The average monthly food stamp benefit per person is only $133.85, or less than $1.50 per person, per meal. Between 2009-2011 the purchasing power of food stamps declined by about 7%, or $47/month for a family of four, due to inflation in the cost of food.
So, just $5 per day each. Thatâs $2 less per person per day than the average USDA food budget. For a family of 4 that is $600 per month, with some families coming in a lot lower.The average USDA monthly food budget for that same family is $840.My family ranks toward the high end of the range mainly because we like to eat a larger amount of meat, raw milk and fresh cheese.o answer that question we need to know just how much do people spend on food on average on both an average diet and a real food diet. According to the USDA the average family of four is spending somewhere between $544 to $1235 per month for food eaten at home.
