5 Things You Need to Know about EBT Discounts in Colorado

After years of reporting on low income and food stamps topics, I’ve learned that there are several things that most people don’t know about their Colorado SNAP benefits.

(If you’re just here to learn about how to get free admission with EBT cards in Colorado, keep scrolling. Our admission list is lower in this article.)

• Apply for Colorado EBT online on the government website. This is the fastest and easiest way to apply for food benefits.
• Know what you can buy. Most people don’t know that they can buy seeds, plants and some gift baskets with EBT. We’ve got all the info, straight from the USDA!
• Shop smart. You may be able to get more food for your money at farmer’s markets and You-Pick Strawberry Fields!
• You may be eligible for more food stamps than you are getting. Many people are getting less than they should because they don’t get credit for all their deductions.
• You may be able to get cash back from your food stamps card legally by using rewarded shopping apps. One of our readers earned an additional $437.84 in cash just by shopping with her food stamps card!
