Other then bloom what are some other low to medium class grocery stores that take EBT (food stamps) that have name brand items.

I have heard of them but never have I used them. Lucky me, I guess. ( I was so broke in college I should have looked for help).

Shoppers.

Good luck to you.

Hopefully you will be back on your feet again.

If you don't mind the ghetto surroundings, Aldi in Woodbridge has dirt cheap prices and they take food stamps.



http://www.aldifoods.com/index_ENU_HTML.htm

I thought WalMart and Target took food stamps.

Try Bottom Dollar which is the low-end version of Food Lion which also owns Bloom.

I would avoid the Hispanic/Korean stores. They charge too much for American brand items, sometimes 50-100 percent more.

Get a fucking job and stop living off my tax dollars. I busted my ass for education, experience, and with my job and lived within my means and save money - yet, I watch people mooch off stamps. I can't stand the lower scum class, they fail to understand it's survival of the fittest and EXPECT handouts. Nothing is ever there fault.

what took so long?

The Lamb Center serves lunch, so you can sell your food stamps for booze and cigarettes.

Wegmans and Giants should take it.

Now that you've saved money, the government says you can't earn any interest because we have to bail out Wall Street, bankers, insurance companies, car makers, home builders, borrowers, government workers, government contractors. and the list of people who are getting bailed out directly or indirectly grows ever larger (probably includes yourself).

Down and out. He may have lost his job and needs help. We all know living in this area cost a lot of money.

Let's just pray he does not try the Lamb Center.

Wegmans.

Try Sutton Place Gourmet or the Whole Foods in Rockville.

go to azn market like grandmart, lotte, H-mart they are usually cheap.

aLDI in manassas

POS I suppose spelling and grammer were NOT part of that huge amount of education you possess to put you in that high class (scum)brackett. Things are changing in these United States,all the education and work at your job you could still end up on food stamps, I had to go in that direction for a few months 6 years ago and while making only $500 in unemployment (every 2 weeks) I was told I made too much money.

God bless you,when you slide down that hill it's hard to climb back up.

I agree too many people are getting stuff for free but without knowing the situation, do'nt make such rash decisions.

And for God sakes learn the difference between "there" and "thier" ,oh God of hirer learning.You embaress yourself!

I go to aldie in richmond hway to ge the basic essentials. gallon on milk 2.40
cream cheese, ceral, yougurt, vegies. They are fresh and cheap. aldies is part of trader joes. its all cash and stamps. il save the other stuff from ther other stores

to find out more, go to this website's (FXunderwear) search mode, type in:

The Lamb Center

press search and read on to indulge your self with the highly criminal activity at this place that IS sanctioned by the people who run it.

an ex-con (convict) named Dave Lareby, heads-off the place with another low life named John that practices the promotion of the criminal activity that goes on there. Their 'back-up' employees Patti and Henry are there, too.

the mentioned selling of the food stamps is practiced there rampidly.

the food stamp recipients, most with children reflecting a sizable amount monthly,

constantly frequent places like the TLC, eat all week for free there and then turn around and hang and offer their food stamps for $ .50 on the dollar for anyone that will buy!

Wonderfull scam. and on top of this, the recipients of the food stamps can go to just about any church in the region and get free food as well.

every single food stamp dollar can be offered for sale and from month to month it adds up more and more onto a 'credit card' if the recipient doesn't use or sell it.

This IS a FELONY, of course. Fraudulantly claiming federal help and then utilizing it for cash flow, and everyone KNOWS the cash flow IS for booze and illegal drugs.

these 'career' scammin' low lifes always know the 'ins-and-outs' of any state/fed/charitable help offered like PROFESSIONALLY, and you can always meet them at places like THE LAMB CENTER,
Forever holdin' up the food line(s).

Enjoy paying your hard earned tax dollar into this spungecake bumm that eternally bleeds it at

THE LAMB CENTER and beyond!

The Lamb Center is an Omnipresence!

TRADER JOES TAKES EBT

Dear homeless psycho,

STFU!

The latest Washington Consumer Checkbook magazine rates all of the area grocery stores based on price. Available at magazine racks or your local Library.

to all the haters of food stamps STFU if you want your money from the gov so badly get food stamps !! dumbass

Here's where to shop on EBT around here:

:::If you insist on name brand food:::

-Bottom Dollar
-Giant/Safeway/Shoppers
-Wegmans and Trader Joes both DO take EBT, but you wont get AS MUCH for your money.

:::If you don't care about brands and just want the most food for your money:::

-Aldi's is the cheapest BY FAR, but all their food is HOUSE BRAND. You won't see any kraft/pilsbury/uncle bens/NOTHING in name brand! I have yet to meet a bad aldi's product though. This is how their store is so CHEAP (milk for $2.50/gallon their brand vs. giant wanting damn near $4 just because its giant brand). They sell everything, even meat (prepackaged).

:::If you INSIST on going to an H-mart or other ethnic grocery store:::

The FRESH FOOD prices ARE cheaper than a giant or wegmans (i.e. meats, FRESH veggies, and other ethnic cooking needs of course!) BUT the canned goods,cereal, and other "American" groceries are priced HIGHER to make up for it. Go ahead and buy your meat and veggies and ethnic needs at H-mart, but PLEASE go to bottom dollar/food lion/giant/your regular grocery store for everything else!

::If you want FRESH FOOD and dont mind taking a drive:::

-believe it or not the DC WHARF AND the DC FARMERS MARKET BOTH take VA food stamps! Just check with the particular vendor before you commit to a purchase, but I have learned most DO! You have to get your food UNCOOKED though- so take that fresh fish, crabs, meat, or veggies from the market home in coolers in your trunk and freeze/cook at home! also CHEAPER THAN THE GROCERY STORE for this stuff if you dont mind taking the ride and fighting for parking up there! LOL

Of course most of the local farmers markets do take EBT too- I am just pointing DC's out since they have actual buildings instead of just being in a parking lot and are open 6/7 days a week from 10-9 or so instead of just 1 day a week for a few hours with the markets around here.

If you just want the :::::CHEAPEST FOOD EVER:::::

DOLLAR TREE. NO JOKE. They tend to have enough food you could feed your family for the month off it and maybe repeat a meal once or twice! Granted it will be pretty basic (spagetthi, some dollar trees even have MEAT in the bank like individually wrapped chicken and steaks for $1, fish filets, rice, etc) but you could EAT and LIVE. A LOT of it is NAME BRAND too. And the price- $1 each. Can't beat that!!!!!! Snacks too! Candy, chips, soda, etc...MOSTLY NAME BRAND. Check it out! Just check your expiration dates on stuff to be safe, but I have never met a bad meal from there either!


Hope this helps someone- thats why I joined this board to help out my fellow Fairfaxonians as much as possible sharing the knowledge!

I can say I know this because I too had food stamps when I was most recently unemployed. They helped my family out IMMENSELY and I am thankful I was able to get them!

KEEP CALM AND CARRY ON!!!

Aldi, if you can make it down to Woodbridge.

Bloom as gone out of business and re-branded as Food Lion.

Jason Wrote:

> Bloom as gone out of business and re-branded as

Hate to nit-pick, but not really. Bloom was always owned by Food Lion LLC and was spawned in 2004 as a concept based on the idea of using a slightly unconventional layout to maximize shopper convenience. Some Food Lions converted over to Bloom, and some new Blooms were built. They had trouble competing with other upscale efforts by Giant/Safeway/Harris Teeter/Wegmans/etc while still maintaing their price edge. Anyhow, they decided to kill it -- most stores are rebranded back into Food Lion and the minority remaining will be closed.

Aldi is a great store. They primarily carry their own brands, which are excellent quality. They don't carry everything. They take EBT, debit, or cash.

Trader Joe's and Costco also have their own brands. Nobody turns up their nose at them, do they?

The prices at Aldi are absolutely incredible. I could afford to shop anywhere, but I buy the bulk of my stuff at Aldi. Why spend more than I need to on food? They have stores in Springfield, Chantilly, Sterling, and Fairfax.

Aldi milk was $1.59 a GALLON last week. As compared to almost $4 a gallon for store brand at the usual stores.

Oh, and English muffins are a $1. Plain, white, delicious. No fancy omega-3/whole grain/etc. but who cares. They are $1. For 6 muffins. They get the job done(along with the $1.59 a gallon milk). I don't think any of that stuff necessarily makes a damn bit of difference anyway.
Sometimes the other stores sell them 2 or 3 for $4. They are usually priced at $4 a box.

Milk was $1.59 a gallon again............

Assholes gotta bitch about something.

Edjacated yet?

Aldi opens at 9am. Got your list? Don't forget a quarter.

i've noted some grocery stores are selling South American agriculture goods

WHICH ARE NOT MAKRED for "sell by" date, and obviously taxes were not paid on them

the average product lasts not more than a year on the shelf

a common "thug" / mob action is to wipe off and re-mark old cans

in obama adm. with foreigners working for FDA: they aren't even bothering to remark the cans. and for all you know the products they know are destined for usa are poisoned, ie, to create medical problems (europe would love that: the sell a drug for everything, and most of what they sell ends up in a mass lawsuit for killing the patients)

COSTCO (formely: px stores) are a way for government workers to FURTHER abuse the public at large

gov getting 3x the pay: if they get a traffic ticket, they have cash to pay: they always win. you? might get your vehicle stolen by government for $15 of payment due.

groceries? part of their quadruple dipping / sextuple dipping plan. since only they have "the official cash" they get to shop at PX stores, and force you into much more limited selection stores where also prices are higher

there is no end to how much fed / fx gov employees have been abusing the DENIZENS at large

Founded

As Price Club: San Diego, California, United States (July 12, 1976; 39 years ago)
As Costco: Seattle, Washington, United States (September 15, 1983; 32 years ago)

founded by the state in great credit debt due to government workers overspending / gettig paid to high

to limit purchases to "CASH SALES ONLY"

ironic, the state in heavy debt demanding the rest of the governments raise their pay to pay california "in cash"

under other circumstances i'd applaud their cash preffered attempt:

but they dont' take credit even at a markup - that's nearly illegal why does california get such an "excuse slip" other stores do not get ??

and california is sending mexicans on welfare to VA so CA doesn't have to fund their food stamps. and costco doesn't take food stamps.

-----------------------
add it up: just another slick move by california to create an even deeper debt in their favor , and to turn USA into a facist country where only government workers "are allowed to exist"

(ie, BECAUSE OF CA DEMOCRATS businesses pay little cash and tell employees to get their food money from county government: ie, safeway, mcdonalds, many more)

CA while demanding cash for food is instructing employees for companies they run to get their food from their local government and ban the same from buying food from "the money store" CA runs

There are lots of really nice cars in the Aldi lot. Volvo, Mercedes, Beemers, etc. Nothing wrong with that store. Campari tomatoes for $1 this week.

Don't bother about the parking lot. Shop where it is convenient and the selection, prices, quality, and service are to your liking. It doesn't matter what it's called.

Please shut up.
