Not all states. I know Missouri spreads their payments out.
The welfare money part of EBT that can be used almost anywhere, is the first 4 days of the month depending on your birth month. I don’t have this but that is what the website says.
The food stamp part, that can only be used on food, is based on last name and birth month. All but April and December has two days. Anytime from the 1st to the 22nd when people born in December get theirs filled.
Yeah I have to shop at Wal-Mart as we basically only have them, Dollar General, a local overpriced grocery store owned by a dirty old man (but a good meat department), a food service outlet (which takes EBT and I like shopping there) and a few other places that isn’t worth the time or effort to stop at.
If I get a chance I like shopping at Aldi and Kroger, but since I don’t drive I have to rely on my mom or a sister. Usually only get there when I have a doctor appointment but occasionally we do a just shopping trip.
We get our groceries at H-E-B (this town of about 17,000 has 2 of them and they are always packed), there is also a Wal-Mart *ho-hum*
we get our “stuff” at various places
hardly ever go to Wal-Mart any more
