“Have you ever seen an EBT user also using coupons?”

Once and once only. It was an older woman with young kids with her (I am guessing her grandkids). She did have coupons and bought stuff food that was on sale. I am guessing she had custody of her grandkids.

Sounds like someone who appreciated the value of the food stamps they received. TOo many are using the EBT as a supplement that allows them another “luxury”. In the instance noted in this article, it was to afford higher food quality/costs. For some, it allows them to buy smokes/alcohol. For others, it might supplement having a better phone, etc. You get the drift.

If EBT users are not using coupons, shopping sales, etc, they are wasting taxpayers’ money.
