Yeah, I spend less than that myself easily. My monthly grocery bill is $125-$150 per month and that's if I'm not trying to be as stingy as possible.

Just some math. This will save 5.5 billion in 5 years. That's 1.1 billion a year, divided by the 700k recipients and again by 12, to arrive at a monthly allowance of $131.
$131 a month is just over $
4232 a week for food. Think about trying to survive off that, regardless of the person's circumstances.Edit: sorry that's $32 a week.
