Saw this in town .... exactly what that's for I think

Cheap food?

Got to be healthier than soda and chips.

Can’t go find some for themselves?

Won't go find some for themselves.

Better than using for junk food but not the greatest choice for getting most value

Down at the sandwich shop they buy a hot deli sandwich with a soda and chips and pay at the first register with EBT and then slide down to the next register and pay cash for cigs beer and scratchers.

And you wonder why no one gets of welfare and has time to protest everything

Rather that then the 6 cases of sodas and 10 bags of chips, people around here will have to carts going and most of it is soda and chips, im pretty sure that is all the feed kids. not sure how you can have a kid and not have a cooked meal nightly, but plenty do it.

at least it is real food and not all carbs and chemicals.

I would rather see those tax dollars get back to US fisheries than box-o-carbs factory.

Crawfish is more of a luxury food down here not really a regular grocery item.

Interesting they are cheap in AZ and WA

How do I get one of the ebt's. I like crawdads.

They specify "COLD" crawfish.
Those pictured are red and already cooked
So you can buy cooked crawfish then cooled, but you can't buy them hot?

Homeys not down with dat!

Quick question. What would a pack like that cost if paying cash?

A buck 280

It's the same reason hot fried chicken is cheaper than cold fried chicken at Food Lion. They can't sell hot food on EBT but they can sell cold.

Loophole so they can get more money on the chicken that doesn't sell. They just cool it off, mark it up and sell it to whoever including EBT.

Thanks for the explanation bowhunter.

any time there is a government subsidy some one will figure out how to profit from it.
