Selling WIC Formula

Countless women on the sell sites on Facebook that I'm in sell their WIC Formula.

I think it's repulsive. One woman called them out on it in a group post and they all said "It's 100 percent profit, so whatever" or something like that.

If being a stubborn, opinionated, educated, headstrong, beautiful woman makes me a b!tch, so be it.

I see it too! It pisses me off! When I first got my son off wic, I had like 5 cans left and I GAVE them away. I had WIC, I did not pay for them, so why the hell would it be ok to charge someone else for them?

I also noticed the sale of the cereal and baby foods too in those groups. I think it is disgusting and it is highly illegal.

At least give it to the food bank if you dont need it. Wic only gives 8 cans or so a month-thats not even enough, so how do they have extra?

That's lame. People suck sometimes and I'm not even one of those women who bash for using pa.

I don't see the big deal. What are they supposed to do with the extra? If they need money for diapers or whatever. I sold mine but for half the cost of it at the store.

I don't know about them but when i was born I couldnt have what wic would provide.So my mom got the cans of formula and took them to a church that helps moms and they gave her money to get me what i needed.

It took me forever to realize there were people that did that. When I had to buy formula for my dd (WIC only provides so much and she would throw up a lot due to some gastric issues) I made sure to buy it from a mom who actually paid out of pocket for her formula. That way I knew I was helping someone out and not just lining their trashy pockets.
