Can you use coupons when using foodstamps?

[princess_madeline]

Yes, also MN has many NBPR forms (no beer purchased required) where you can get money back for buying things like meat and produce. Check in the beer isles of your stores, Budweiser, Dos Equis, Blue Moon etc.... if you can't find any in your stores, check out the trading forum!

I don't quite understand what you mean.

Yesterday, at the advice of a social worker and teachers, I applied for food stamps. Now that I have my ebt card, I qualify for $85.00 a month. Since this isn't much money, I am planning to on using coupons as well. Is this allowed?

oh yes! and it is a very smart thing to do. Good luck!

Good for you! YES-food stamps and coupons make a good match. I have helped several of my friends shop using both. YES-it is a good idea to keep a little cash with you...one, because you still have to pay the tax (BUT it may not be that way in your state) and two, you will want to have a couple of dollars to tip the bagger when you carry out TWICE as much stuff!!!

A friend shared this quote today-- (I hope I get it right) "Do you know why the car windshield is so much bigger than the rearview mirror? Because where we are headed is much more important than where we have been." Keep moving forward!!!

Many of the beer companies put out mail in rebates if you buy certain things. In certain states you are not required to buy the beer, just the other items that are being offered on the form. You circle the purchase price of the item (on the receipt), fill out the form, submit the form and receipt, and you get a check in the mail 6 to 8 weeks later. There are new ones that come out every month, and are for a variety of different items.

Check out the rebates forum, and see what there is to offer, just look for the ones that are vaild in MN. There are many out right now for the month of February!
