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.
To 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.Thatâs a huge range! They break it down into 4 plans: Thrifty, low-cost, moderate, and liberal.verage Diet Food Budget = $7 a day per person. This USDA plan assumes this family of 4 always eats at home, never at McDonaldâs, Subway, or Applebeeâs. A single meal out can blow the entire days food budget ! Knowing that Americans eat out 5 times a week I consider this a low number.
