There is a Food Town in my neighborhood, a low end, no frills kind of grocery store. It attracts the area welfare folks because it is cheap. I am always amazed by what I see them buy, right around the 1st of every month. I usually go to h-e-b, which is about 1 mile away, which doesn’t have the same element. I’ve seen people but things like 10 bags of Cheetos. One scam at this store is that paki-sack store owners will buy things here on a EBT card an resell them in their stores.100% profit.
I always had a feeling that the Dollar stores work in a similar fashion on some of their items.
