I Have a Question

anyone know what else foodstamps is taking out besides those starbucks coffee drinks? I went to the store earlier to get some stuff with my foodstamps and it wouldnt take the coffee drinks, the guy told me foodstamps has some new rules saying we cant get them with foodstamps, i was getting them cause i get bad headaches and the coffee helps with that, i guess i can get tea instead which i did, i got the bottled tea. why is it i can buy bottled tea but not bottled coffee? the girl cashier said too that i think its because diabetics were buying stuff like that so thats why they cut it off, what about stuff like sodas? i havent drank those in yrs but i was curious if they cut that out too, anyone have a laundry list of what you cant get anymore? i cant call them , its saturday. i dont want to waste my time having to put stuff back cause i didnt know you werent supposed to get it.

[c=#BF0080]Who needs to work when you can get whatever you need from the state..? By no means am I against welfare or people who need help.. but for christ sake.. why is coffee, junk food and whatever else allowed? They're not essentials. Nice to know where my tax dollars go to.[/c]

I think this k it differs from state to.state, and as far as I k ow coffee shouldn't be off list.
Maybe coffe Sri is like that are considered like a.convenience food like from the deli or what not

Here in Cali, I rmeber the news saying they were thinking about stopping.junkfood and sweets and what not, bit as far as I k ow, that have down no such thing

It has to be something you consume at home not something you can consume there on the site. Like, coffee drinks from the coffee bar, fountain drinks- hope this helps.

Well then I guess they have taken that off. All the energy drinks were taken off a few years back. Would this be considered an energy drink?

Mondayschild · F

If its an energy type drink you cant get that - I remember that from working as cashier at walmart.

You can get coffee anywhere.
