Exactly. They aren't expecting her to make $17 last a month, they are saying that based on her income, this is all she qualifies for.
To play your game, if I had to operate on a food budget of $20/week, I'd probably get eggs, lentils, cheese, potatoes, onions, apples, oranges, bread, broccoli, tomatoes. And my bottled distilled water. I'd vary it up a bit. I wouldn't finish a bag of potatoes in a week, for example, so the next week I might get peanut butter or rice, spinach, etc.
