Can anyone recommend a good Tennessee whiskey rub?
Has anyone tried the Historic Lynchburg one?
Side note: are they ever going to change the name of those cities? π¬
2nd side note: why tf are these cases of spices snap/ebt eligible?!? And these were 2 out of 3 total eligible items on the entire page
@ExecutiveFunction404 The SNAP/EBT eligibility is because Amazon and Walmart were quick to sign up for the pilot program for online food delivery/purchase options. Sort of ironic that both of them pay such low wages that many of their employees qualify for those benefits. Closer and closer to the post slavery 'company store' mentality.
The items that were shipped as one unit only were not snap/ebt eligible (except one). Aside from that one, it was just cases of spices.
That's where my confusion lies. The fact that someone can buy cases of spices via ebt, just not a single jar π
@ExecutiveFunction404 @Lucky188 Back when I was a single mother living on financial aid, I bought everything I could in bulk. I only got "paid" twice a year, so my lump sums were high, but I had to live off of 4 to 8 thousand a year (rent was free, had to pay electric). Money was so tight I'd compare the number of sheets on toilet paper rolls and number of loads in laundry soap to see how long it would last for everything I bought. I wouldn't have made it without bulk.
You def stretched your money that way! That's the way to do it, if you can. I've always said that people with less money typically spend so much more on essentials than those who are more comfortable. They usually can't spend the little money received on bulk items, which just makes everything cost more, especially if you can only shop at a corner bodega.
@ExecutiveFunction404 @tippitiwichet EBT has some weird rules - wonder if the ones that have wiskey in their names are the non eligable ones. I read an article recently that said Ebt could buy plants for the garden and seeds. Since they lead to food eventually.
I wouldn't have even thought about that. That's some good brainstorming! But, looking back, they all have whiskey in the name. So idk. It's just odd.
That's pretty cool to learn about the seeds & plants! Thanks for sharing that info. I wonder if all states allow that π€
@Lucky188 @ExecutiveFunction404 Yes, it depends on who fulfills it and if it has a nutrition label. If it doesn't scan at the register and it has a nutrition label in a store, you can challenge it anyway. A manager can force it through or something, I don't recall the details. As for plants not on Amazon, it's the same thing, depends on if the seller is equipped to do EBT, so not at garden stores.
@tippitiwichet @Lucky188
That's really interesting and added to my #TIL
I love adding new info to the vault π©·
