We do not use a food supplier since they are a complete rip off and unless you are spending hundreds or 10's of k's per month you have no leverage on a food supplier to lean on them and get their costs down.   

From what I've seen there's not many neighborhood spots to "go-out", shop, hang out, family activities, food destinations, etc. 

Plaques with Mottos like "Warm Home, Warm Friends, Warm Food" are OUT - so don't put "Words" on the walls - unless that is common in your neighborhood.

I know how disgusting the food is, how ignorant the general population is, the crumbling infrastructure, the systemic racism, the persistent problems of the area.

Just some food for thought.

Also Joe, you seem to dislike the idea of Russian families getting money to buy things like food. 

He was a 60ish Vietnam vet who had nerve damage and other issues who preferred to live in a public camper sans pu than at the home for vets.

Just some food for thought, take time and remember why you are really doing this  

For example if you wanted to loose weight you need to give up something first, maybe it’s a few hours watching TV, maybe its all that fast food, that is up to you.
