Can you use Coupons with Food Stamps?


Can you use Coupons with Food Stamps?

YES YOU CAN!
You can use Manufacturer (Mfg) Coupons AND Store Coupons to Save Money when purchasing items with your EBT/SNAP Food Stamps Card.

If you're on Food Stamps then you are most likely on a tight budget,
so any and all incoming funds to your household should be spent wisely.
If you can find any extra way you can stretch your dollar you should!

It's as easy as 1, 2, 3...
1. Scan your groceries
2. Scan your coupons
3. Scan your EBT / SNAP card

Don't forget to use your Store Loyalty Cards Too for discounted pricing!

Another way to get more out of your Food Stamps is to check to see if any of your local grocers have a Fuel Rewards Program. You can take a huge chunk out of your gasoline budget this way. If you have a Tops Markets grocery store they have a great GasPoints program, join my Tops Markets Couponing Group to learn more.

ALSO NOTE that IF a food or beverage item is ordinarily subject to sales tax, the purchase will be NON-TAXABLE if the item is purchased with Food Stamps. Also, if your state has $.05 bottle deposits for soda/water that will drop off your bill also. So if your Food Stamps are limited, target those items first when using your EBT card to maximize your savings benefits.
