    I don’t think you can buy any fast food with EBT…? I’m actually surprised they let you buy soda with EBT. EBT doesn’t pay sales tax so they limit what you can spend it on.

        That makes sense but I wonder if that new Wendy’s flex pricing is going to effect their eligibility to accept EBT. Is the hot meal program the one where you can also withdraw cash from EBT? (You have to prove your basically homeless and I think you even need at least one dependant to get on that program).
