If you’re ready to get more food stamps money each month, here’s what you need to know.
You can even get cash back from your food stamps card! It’s true and it’s legal – no cash benefits required. One of our readers earned an additional $437.84 just by shopping with her food stamps card. She uses that extra money to buy diapers, wipes and other essentials. Here’s how.

I am a recipient of Medicaid but not food stamps and do not have an EBD card, only a card for my Medicaid benefits. Am I still eligible to use this ?
Most of these benefits (including the Amazon discounts) are available to people who recieve Medicaid (without EBT). The museum discounts are generally limited to EBT users, though.
how to find out what museums and what activities will be covered with my nj ebt
Hi, Laura! Unfortunately, I haven’t found any participating museums in New Jersey yet… but I’ll do some more searches and see what I can find. 🙂
Hi. I just wanted to add a little cheat I found with the snap to be able to get other necessities like toilet paper. I shop at Wal-Mart and pay with ebt. I then submit my receipt to the savings catcher that compares for lower prices to price match. The difference between the price match is given in Wal-Mart credit to buy anything!
It’s so hard to get by now a days and we have to do what we have to do.
I love this! That’s a genius idea! Thank you for sharing. 🙂
I love the Walmart Savings Catcher App! I have been using it since they switched from taking local ads to strictly using the app and to date I have saved $437.84! Those Walmart Bucks have saved the day on more than one occasion. I have two toddlers and I am ALWAYS buying diapers and wipes. The app is so easy to use and you receive the difference on an e gift card within 3 days of submission. Bonus* all of your receipts are saved on your app, so if you have to return something you don’t need to worry about saving the paper receipt. The only drawback is you can’t just let the money sit there and build up, if you don’t spend it after a certain amount of time it’s removed from the e giftcard. It would have been nice to save it for the holidays.
Wow! $437?! That’s incredible, Nicole! Thanks for sharing!
Do food stamp card works in other states I have read it has to be from that state for discount to museums? Just want to verify before I share on a page that has a lot of family that can use this information. Thank you
Hi, Alicia! Great question! Most of the museums we’ve written about accept EBT cards from all states. To keep things simple, we use green titles for the museums that accept EBT cards from all 50 states and black titles for museums that require an EBT card from their specific state.
Hello my name is Luz janssen how can i get gree or low cost cable t.v i have medicade n EBT. cards also my fridge is old im in need of a refrigerator..can you please help me
Hi, Luz! Thanks for taking the time to leave a comment.
I haven’t been able to find any cable discounts but several affordable alternatives that cost $20 or less!
Refrigerator replacement is tricky but sometimes power companies will offer free replacements of older, inefficient models. Otherwise, I recommend checking thrift stores and surplus stores. We picked one up at our local state surplus store for a great price!
I hope this helps!
How do you find out if your power company will replace your refrigerator for free?
Renee,
Which power company?
