Tips for Using SNAP

Navigating SNAP benefits is all about strategy. Here are three quick tips to help you get the most out of every dollar:

Double Up Food Bucks: Many farmers markets offer programs that match your SNAP spending on fresh fruits and veggies. 🍎🥦

Shop the sales: Check your store’s weekly circular before you go. Pairing SNAP with store discounts is a total game-changer. 📉

Buy seeds and starts: A little-known SNAP rule is that you can use your benefits to buy seeds and food-producing plants. Turn your EBT into a backyard garden for a continuous supply of herbs and veggies! 🌱🍅
