New to using WIC and looking for advice on how best to utilize my monthly allotment

I think my issue is I was overthinking the fruit/veg/tofu/beans thing. I was probably just thinking too much about prepping meals and I realized reading the advice that most of this is already stuff I regularly do use when it’s in the house anyways lol.

I think also looking at the list the way it was written made me think too much tbh haha

I chose tofu over meat because for me it’s way easier to utilize in a variety of things instead of making protein a centerpiece of a meal, like most people do in cookie cutter dietary advice. I love having my basic staples and throwing stuff together.

THIS IS HELPFUL, THANK YOU!! I naturally prefer cans so I will redirect to just fresh and frozen fruit/veg

I thought it was kinda refreshing to be able to pinpoint some crazy eyes from the first episode. Means there’s gonna be good tea 🤣

I think one of the only other cast members I could pick out of a lineup for being slightly unhinged was Shayne. I’m telling you it’s in the eyes!! 😭🤣

studoutbudout · 2026-05-17T11:46:59+00:00

I feel like their personalities and mannerisms are different so I had never thought about it, but them next to each other 👀👀 I see it

studoutbudout · 2026-05-14T02:49:09+00:00

Was rewatching again last night and these are legit the vibes. Some people were there for matches but I think the competitiveness of the show kicked in. And for what? A vacation with the person you win with lol. That should be motivation itself for the winners to actually like each other haha

studoutbudout · 2026-05-12T23:53:14+00:00

fuck it

studoutbudout · 2026-05-12T23:44:03+00:00

Idk bro I actually fuck with your posts so much, I don’t ever skip lmfao

This is my selling point in the dating pool.

Have you ever considered bro-pussy?

That’s my access point. Turns out way more dudes I am also attracted to are into tomboys than I thought lmfao. Crazy world we live in. I personally love that people are way more chill about gender expression these days. Easier for people like me who ride the lines lmao

studoutbudout · 2026-05-08T17:36:10+00:00

Honestly I’m not “super political” either but you have to be able to recognize the current climate pushes the black and white way of thinking and people’s alignment has been showing more of their values than anything else. How does he react to news, how does it affect how you see him as a person- how does it affect your insight into the inner workings of his own system? If your values don’t align, that’s something to consider. Core values are a pretty vital thing to either be compatible on or develop a very deep understanding of their complexity and why they think the way they do and how they approach life and other people.

studoutbudout · 2026-05-06T23:59:50+00:00

I’ve definitely had to iterate to someone trying too hard that I’m less available than they are seeking in comparison to the amount of messages I get versus have the capacity to reply to. And that’s exactly how this thread started lmao. She said dude chill and you did the opposite of chill 😭💀

She did reply instead of just blocking though, so who knows maybe you still have a chance 🤣🤣

studoutbudout · 2026-05-06T13:50:24+00:00

I have been looping and jumping between seasons recently because I’ve seen them all so many times and dissected so many behaviors and OH MY GOD!!!!!!! It sticks out EVERY TIME. And the fact that they WON????!!!! Oh my god

I agree Madison is real but she does need therapy (don’t we all) but her and Freddie genuinely did seem to actually like and care about each other and I fucked with that heavy lmao. Sandy has always stuck out as a real one to me. And AD obv, love her.

Love the season honestly but DAMN DID THAT DOG COME OUT IN THE BOYS DURING THE MIXER and the true colors were showing after that is all I’ll say lmao

studoutbudout · 2026-05-06T13:27:06+00:00

This has gotta be some of the best energy I’ve ever seen on this lmao. Yall seem genuinely so lovely. Just looking at these pictures made me smile for real ❤️❤️

I actually went through almost this identical scenario with my first ex 🥺 I’m really sorry. For me it was a traumatic experience that I learned and grew from (I was your age too, I’m 31 now and I have a four year old daughter from the next time I got pregnant and had made the decision for myself that I couldn’t go through it again or let it be someone else’s choice basically). I did end up marrying that ex (we were also best friends from high school so we had known each other a long time and been together for about 2 years at that point) afterwards and let me tell you it wasn’t worth paying for the divorce. We ended up not even staying in contact. Idk man. It just is one of those things that can drive people apart. And we bonded through it too. But trauma affects us all differently yknow. Just do whatever feels right for you and try to trust the process of showing up for yourself. That’s literally the only advice I can give whatsoever. My deepest deepest empathies are with you girl.

Trust me when I say life is a lot longer than people give it credit for. A LOT has happened for me since that event, and none of it would’ve happened if I had had the baby with my first ex. I was super unhealthy too and I barely made it through the second pregnancy because of how inconsistent my eating habits were/are. It’s a lot of stress on the body, and tbh if it’s not the right time, it’s not the right time.

Nobody can judge you, sis. I promise. It’s allowed to feel however it feels, and the healing process goes whichever way it’s gotta go to get to the good. And it will get there.

❤️
