Welcome back to 'FREE FOR LOW INCOME'! Today, we're diving into the world of SNAP benefits. With changes in 2024, knowing how to stretch every dollar is crucial. So, let's get started!

First, let's talk changes. The pandemic brought extra SNAP allotments, but they're ending this month. Plus, if you're receiving Social Security, your food benefits might have decreased due to increased income. Tough times, right? But don't worry; we've got you covered with practical tips!

Tip one: Bulk up on staples. Rice, beans, pasta - they're cheap, filling, and versatile. Buying in bulk saves more, making your SNAP dollars go further.

Tip two: Hit the farmer's markets. With programs like Double Up Food Bucks in over 25 states, you can double your SNAP value on fresh produce. Plus, farmers markets often have better prices on local, in-season goods."

Tip three: Embrace coupons. Small savings add up! Use apps like MyPlate for deals, and don't forget to check your local paper.

Tip four: Explore additional programs. Seniors, for instance, can benefit from exclusive discounts through programs like the Senior Farmers Market Nutrition Program. Always research – there's more help out there.

Tip five: Plan your meals. Use resources like the USDA's website for SNAP-friendly recipes. Plan, list, and buy in bulk to minimize waste and maximize value.

Finally, tip six: Order groceries online. SNAP benefits now cover online grocery shopping. Check for participating stores and delivery services like Instacart and DoorDash. It's a game-changer, especially for those in food deserts.
