[quote:Pea Vine:MV8xMzQ3MjA4XzIyMTk2Nzg3X0ZCMTE2MTJF] [quote:Mrs. Smith] [quote:Anonymous Coward 1252552] I was thinking about going to a bulk food store soon. Can you use food stamps for bulk foods? [/quote] Good question. I remember reading a news story last year that Costco was going to start accepting EBT. Will have to check that out. I know there are a lot of others out there that have had to apply in this economy and since we're not the welfare types, buying in bulk, purchasing seeds etc., is the best way to make the most out of the situation and use it to become more self sufficient. [/quote] Mrs. Smith, If you DO order Shumways catalogue, please pay attention to the notations for heirloom varieties. These, in my opinion are the ultimate. Particularley the tomatoes and green beans. You'll be well pleased with the majority of the purchases you might make. If you take a cutting from some of the tomatoes, plant them in a pot with a sterile potting soil and fertilize, you'll get tomatoes at Christmas! My bonifides are 30+ years of gardening and a sincere wish to help fellow gardeners. I'm going to send this to you in a PM. Only to assure you see it. No offence intended. Best wishes, Peavine :hf: [/quote]

My current work trade situation is coming to an end and my new one comes with housing and utilities covered but no food or cash. So, I just swallowed my pride and applied for foodstamps to hold me over until I can get some cash flow and my new garden going.
The intake worker was the one that told me when I said I was moving to a place with a garden.
Too cool!
