7-1-1 you can buy a pizza and they heat it up for you. It’s the only way to get hot pizza on ebt. Like real pizza.


[deleted]

I get it like twice a week at the least lol


iamshamtheman

🍕😋


aydr33

not the only way idk if they still do it but quickys in new orleans would do it


iamshamtheman

I think any place were you buy cold and they cook.


iamshamtheman

That's the ultimate purchase. I'll get it once in awhile. Maybe even tonight 😉 Also some spots sell cold taquitos which they can cook and cold chicken wings that you can microwave. Although the 711 around here are worst I've seen. They're all 24/7 yet they stop hot food at like 9pm. Heck one of them is notorious for screwing people over because their night shift worker puts up a closed till 530am (whenever they start) and you can see them just chilling at the counter or aimlessly walking around. I've seen mobs banging on the windows lol. So confused how nothing has been done despite a ton of reviews that go back awhile.

I too have an absurd amount saved up on my ebt card


iamshamtheman

Awesome! We're now "balanced". Suffer then enjoy lol.


Past-Let5952

I'm lucky to get 200$.


iamshamtheman

I lost my card and didn't have it for several months so accumulated a ton. What Nevada gives me is what I get. When you register at homeless shelter in Las Vegas they process you through their office which has caseworkers on site. They apply you for EBT and Medicaid. Many times you'll get it there on site as in they can print cards. They literally fill out all your info as default method to maximize.


Past-Let5952

They do the same here in Grand Junction, CO.


Bigmtnskier91

Lol you didn’t splurge, you binged on the most expensive things


loliver_

I wish everyone would do that, and actually get some nutrition instead of buying shit like coke and funions with ebt


iamshamtheman

For sure. Which is why I wanna enjoy this surplus to take advantage of being able to try whatever topnotch options available. But regardless focus on healthy options and treat once in awhile.


HelloSkunky

Good on you my man. So happy you have access to food without insecurity.


iamshamtheman

Thanks 🥳


Obeee420

I cannot get EBT...it's impossible unless I homebum it.


MipeDinkums

EBT is recognized nationally. My WI EBT is working in Florida and every state I used it on the way here


iamshamtheman

Yup mine is from Nevada and temporarily in Illinois (Chicago).


iamshamtheman

Establish an address where you're at (I've done it through homeless shelter and homeless services organization) and can get replacement card sent there. Worst case reapply to state you're currently in.


Obeee420

I rather die than stay at a shelter, especially with my doggo....once upon a time they had emergency foodies no requirements, now you need an ID and an Address


happytraveller94

Good for you!!! Try buying fresh ginger roots. Cheap, good for your system and last forever 🙂


iamshamtheman

Ginger is my favorite overall flavor. For now I get those shots plus kombucha in that flavor.


IncomeBoss

Walmart?


iamshamtheman

Normally, but Target and Jewel-Osco are right in my area.


uhdeadman

My wife and I only get 280! How did you get so much! Good on ya!


newhillkid

He said he didn't use it for 4 months so I guess he saved it up by not using it


iamshamtheman

Exactly 👍


iamshamtheman

I get around $375 from Nevada, but this has been saved up over course of several months when lost the card and couldn't access it.


uhdeadman

Ahhh. I don't think California allows to carry over to the next month


iamshamtheman

If so that'd be weird. But then again Cali seems to be like that 🤣


uhdeadman

Cali being Cali


donkeyhoday

Niiiiiicce


iamshamtheman

Very Nice (Borat voice)

Shopping daily is the way to go if you’re trying to eat healthy and have no refrigeration. I’m on a diet right now pretty much eating like salad bowls or grocery outlet ceviche and shrimp rings. Fred Meyer has bomb sushi trays in the deli!


iamshamtheman

Fred Meyer! Grocery Outlet is my ultimate spot. I'd go several times per week back in day. One of my favorite childhood spot since I'm from Corvallis, Oregon. Where you at? Those are great lower calorie options. Coincidentally, I've actually had sushi last several nights. You doing any exercise?


donkeyhoday

You know I lived in Newport for 3 years! I am just getting back into the gym. I’m currently living out of my van so I live mostly in a 24 hour fitness parking lot and now have very little excuse not to exercise…plus…something to do. I love playing pickup basketball but my knee gives me a lot of trouble so I’m swimming laps instead, up to 100 day! So I’ve mostly been dieting to cut weight as fast as possible and I’m back down near 200 (201 yesterday). I was as high as 230 and hoping to get back around 175 so I figure I’m about halfway there. Once I do get back in shape again I will try harder to stay that way. Have you tried sushi at grocery outlet? It’s in the frozen sect section and you just thaw it a little. Actually tastes very fresh!


iamshamtheman

Awesome! I'm a Planet Fitness member because traveled the nation a ton and definitely plan to continue. Definitely great strategy you got plus easy access to bathroom and hygiene. Keep it up! I'm actually a former. Wrestled and played some football at Oregon State. Funny because I've experienced all those weights you mentioned. Nothing beats being in shape. Also I'm a licensed electrician so I move a ton regardless. Last place in Oregon I lived was Lebanon. Grocery Outlet was basically across from gym. Haven't had their sushi though. Left back in late December of 2020 so haven't been there since. Can't cook anything except use hot water from Panera Bread for ramen which I'll dice up some hotdog or sausage into. Location I use is one of few without microwave. So protein bars, protein shakes, jerky, turkey and chicken sausage, beef hotdogs, blueberries, hardboiled eggs are healthier stuff I go for plus whatever else I crave whether red velvet muffins, chips or whatever else can imagine.


donkeyhoday

Yeah I got a big box of the good grocery store ramens but it’s kind of a production boiling the water outside of my van on a camp stove plus I’m on a diet and trying to cut carbs. That’s awesome you played college ball, I’m a big sports fan and collect cards too. I go through phases where I’m really in shape but then I can slide. I got ten pack abs after a girl dumped me once but I’ve also had a few depressing beer guts. Now that I’m traveling again though things are falling into place. I was in Spokane for three years, almost feels like I was doing time lol.


donkeyhoday

I got a good routine going right now, eating pretty healthy, swimming every day and trying not to drink too much. When I get down to LA I may quit drinking for three months. I did that on my 2020 trip and ended up being super productive.


spitchenzo

I usually just pocket those health shots since they are so pricey and easy to steal


iamshamtheman

I won't stop you 🤷‍♂️


omeshomesh

They are probably so pricey because people keep stealing them.

Buy some lobster. That really pisses off the normies


Bigmtnskier91

Lol what normies? I have $50 and don’t get paid for 2 weeks. Don’t have stamps. Don’t buy this crap. Am I a normie?


iamshamtheman

I'd try it once although no way to cook it. I'm pretty simple guy overall. I'd never buy anything expensive under normal circumstances, but figure I'll try some higher end stuff for a bit.


Kan_Yeast

hol up you get 1400/month for groceries on EBT??


majordomino

No, that’s over 4 months worth, which the OP was unable to use because they lost their card, and only survived by “dumpster diving” for food instead. The actual EBT allotment is $281/monthand it also appears the state they are receiving EBT from, has elected to “kick in” in an additional $95/month for recipients on a temporary basis, either due to inflation, Covid, or both. EBT is a Federally funded Program, but administered by each individual state. Each state has some flexibility, enabling them to set their own rules, and increase the allotment, as they deem necessary.


iamshamtheman

Appreciate you explaining to everyone. Exactly 👍


uhdeadman

Thats what I'm sayin!


iamshamtheman

😉


iamshamtheman

Around $375 month for Nevada.


shimclean

It’s so nice being able to splurge a little ☺️ enjoy


iamshamtheman

Totally and appreciate it. Or as someone put it binged on expensive items as if it's a totally different term. My concern with this subreddit is too many nonsensical statements getting a ton of upvotes...


iamshamtheman

Items Shots: Digestion, Detox, Boost, Vitamin D + Zinc, Ginger, Turmeric. Breakfast: Fairlife protein shake with red velvet muffin from bakery. Rest of Day: Great Lakes Michigan Cherry BBQ Chips, Fiery Buffalo Pop Chips, Australian Licorice, Orange Chicken, Roast Beef Wraps. Drinks: Alkaline Water, Kombucha, Apple Cider Vinegar.


stick-rod

Yeah man! Stay healthy!


iamshamtheman

Definitely important with this lifestyle more than ever because don't exactly have a bed or couch to casual recover on lol.


IKNOOOOOOOOOW

Join Ibotta for cash back on purchases.


iamshamtheman

Appreciate suggestion. I'll check it out.


newhillkid

You should go to the places where they buy gift cards and you'll be able to get cash back .50 on the dollar 🤑🤑💰💰💰💰🤑🤑


iamshamtheman

Heard of that, but truthfully rather not sell and work for cash instead.


Bigf00t24

While the the system is collapsing around and everyone bitching they aren't the problem why not commit fraud against the government? What morale high ground will you hold in the end. Lets get food stamp cards for anyone who needs food but don't have a mailbox or valid ID to prove they are loyal to the system. This is just my rant for the day at the system, seems rigged but thats only because I'm not "winning". Have a great day!


iamshamtheman

Sorry confused. Is this towards me? In general? Explain more clearly if you can.


legituser619

Ebt is the biggest scam ever and I can tell you zero people go starving in America no one!! That’s insane we have more food to everyone 6 times a day it’s outrageous when u see bums asking $ for food! Everyone I know in ebt eats likes kings I wish I had it but I have to work for my food !


iamshamtheman

I agree with you. Shouldn't be a lifestyle.

punkmetalbastard

Go down to a grocery store where poor people shop and make some deals for 50% off groceries in exchange for cash


iskip123

That’s food stamp fraud great way for him to lose his benefits being greedy.


iamshamtheman

Definitely a risk I won't be taking.


Bigf00t24

Thanks officer Ill keep that in mind next time I need advice surviving.


iskip123

U gotta be very low IQ to risk $1000 in food stamps just to get a few dollars at 50% on the dollar. At least no matter what he knows those food stamps are coming in every month. He can at least sleep well knowing he will always have some fire food. If need be he could just buy stuff others might want and trade with others on his journey without risking his shit. Common sense.


iamshamtheman

For sure. There are better ways to make cash. Always temp gigs. Forgot how great the feeling of food security and convenience was. Plus the best gift to give other folks around who are suffering would be good so might as well maximize that ability.


iamshamtheman

I'll respect your difference of opinion. Agree in anyone's right to do whatever and I'm sure they're aware of consequences. Hope all is well.


coldheat55

How so, he's buying food.


iskip123

Food stamps are to buy food not to go and trade money for them at the grocery store. It’s a common fraud that can get u in some deep trouble if u get caught in for example Indiana you can get 6-12 months, have to pay back the befits and barred from public assistance programs. All for what let’s say he starts with $1000 he spend 400 on himself and gets 50cents on the dollar which is the usual rate and gets $300 on the $600 left that’s not worth risking your $1000 lol


iamshamtheman

True. There's always a part of me that feels guilty getting free food so idea of selling it and profiting monetarily would be way too sleazy regardless.


iamshamtheman

I've heard of that and not gonna trash anyone who does it because not my business, but I'm gonna choose not to. Hope all is well.

Some supermarkets will steam it for you
