ebt should be limited to the basics and stores should bid pricing on items for the right to be the EBT store in the area. right now you can spend EBT at gas stations for food that is twice the price of the grocery store. I myself am on EBT and can’t understand why I am allowed to get just about anything that’s food in the store...anyone that’s critical of limiting what can be bought with EBT should remember that if the person wants the stuff deemed unnecessary, they can use what ever money that EBT has replaced in spending for food
EBT should be eliminated.
“they can use what ever money that EBT has replaced”
Except how are they going to afford hair extensions, eyelashes, tattoos and acrylic nails?
When my mother was on assistance for a short time after her divorce there were food stamps but we also had to go to the welfare office to get cheese and peanut butter and other staples off the truck. Food stamp purchases were limited, as I recall. Also, there was some shame in having to use food stamps. No one wanted to be on food stamps.
