Can I use EBT at Dollar Store

[Admin - Jon McNamara]

Hi Heidi,
Yes, Dollar Store does take food stamps or an EBT card. But it would be for food and critical household items. As you are asking for clothes for Jerome and Heidi, dog food and other not "food" or personal items. While there are odd things/not well known that SNAP pays for, none are them. But look here for surprising EBT items that are offered.

Hi! My name is Heidi. My husband Jerome and I, who have an EBT card, are in need of a lot of help. We are living in a hotel with our 2 dogs about a block from a Dollar Store.
We need a stable home to live in that allows dogs. We are in need of financial help and we are in need of clothing and hot meals delivered to us or that we can walk to and get at Dollar Store using our EBT / SNAP.
Here is our story:
My husband is on dialysis 3x/week and we broke our lease at our former residence in McKeesport, PA on May 4.
I ended up in jail over a falsified PFA against me by my former next-door neighbors.
My former landlord was in on this scam too. My husband had to stay out on the porch for 19 hours on June1-June 2 as our former landlord locked him out of the house.
We lost everything due to our former landlord selling our stuff or throwing it all out.
It was mostly clothes and scrapbooks and family heirlooms (Christmas ornaments) that was amongst this stuff that we lost. Plus, shoes too.
We get social security benefits and EBT food stamps and don't get paid for another week or 2.
We are living at Super 8 in Pittsburgh, PA 15239
All help is appreciated. Our sizes are as follows.; We hope the Dollar Store will take our EBT to pay for them
Jerome's pants size is medium
Jerome's shirt size is Large-XL
Jerome's shoe size 12 wide
Heidi's pants and shirt size is Large-XL
Heidi's shoe size is 8 & 1/2 or 9.O
Our dogs love stuffed animals and balls etc. Our dogs eat Caesers wet dog food.
Please let me know if you can help us
Thanks.
