It’s easy to be confused about what you can and can’t buy with your SC food stamps benefits. However, we’ve found some interesting items that we thought couldn’t be purchased with food stamps… yet they can!
- Farmer’s Markets and community supported agriculture (CSA) programs can accept EBT. Some will even give you $5 in free produce!
- Starbucks! EBT can be used at Starbucks locations that are located inside a grocery store.
- Subway! EBT cards may be usable at Subway locations inside gas stations as long as the sandwich isn’t toasted. This isn’t always the case, but it has been possible on occasion.
- Schwan’s Trucks also accept EBT benefits. Order online, by phone or on the app. Please note that food stamps benefits will not cover the delivery charge. Make sure you can pay the delivery charge before you order! If you can’t pay the delivery charge, you will not be allowed to keep your order.

- Papa Murphy’s
- Dollar Tree
You can also use your Nebraska food stamps benefits to buy these items:

What kind of crap is this? I know people who are barley getting by. They make too much money ( just a little too much) to get benefits. Yet they have to pay their whole food bill, all their utilities, non-subsidized rent, and their own cell phone bill. Those people wake up every morning and go to work. Why should they have to pay full price? Those people work hard and what benefits do they get for their hard work? Maybe we should stop rewarding sloth? I know there are people that can’t help being poor but there are those people who’ live off the teat of Americans because they would loose the freebies if they started to work.
William, most people who receive food stamps are hardworking Americans who just don’t make enough to get by. Many serve in the military! Most people who receive food stamps are on the program less than a year. You can get the facts here.
Not everyone who receives benefits is on other assistance. My husband works his butt off and I’m pregnant so no one will hire me. This is the first time, other than WIC that we have asked for help. We just don’t make enough right now. As soon as that changes, which will hopefully be in the next year, we will be off of assistance. I’m not proud of asking for help and I wish I didn’t need it. But it is what it is and I’ve paid into the system myself.
That’s a great attitude to have, Shannon! I’m glad you are able to get the help you need during this difficult time. If there’s anything we can help you with, just let us know! 🙂
