Doesn't really matter. Most of those EBT cards are empty by this point in the month. Don't shop Oct 1-5.

I only go shopping in the mornings before 8am. The scum are usually sleeping at that point, so I just have to deal with the older folk.

Anyone notice how many places advertise that they accept or even welcome EBT? I don't know if it's something new or I'm just paying more attention.

Yeah, me too. I will only get my groceries in the morning hours. Before the FSA gets up and around.

They've done it for a while. Probably just been paying more attention or maybe they've made more visible signs?

Yeah, me too. I will only get my groceries in the morning hours. Before the FSA gets up and around.

I also noticed that shelves are better stocked. I remember going one time around 6 or 7, was unable to get half my list. Never again.

I tend to go at 9 or 10 at night. I can't stand the stupid people during the day.

Around here shopping on Sunday is the only day to avoid Mennonites checking out with two carts stacked full to the rafters. Your quart of milk and frozen dinner are spoiled and attracting flies by the time you get through.

Can we still buy groceries in NY or do we have to ship it to FFL?

You can still buy them, it's just that all checkout lines are marked "10 items or less."

And you need to show ID to buy your eggs, but no more than 7 at a time. But you can carry them in a 10 egg carton.
