Hold on There, Amigo! What Can't I Buy with EBT?
While EBT is a lifesaver for groceries, there are some things you can't use it for. Don't even think about trying to buy those fancy lobster tails or a bottle of champagne (unless it's for a very fancy government cheese tasting party, of course). EBT is for food items that meet federal guidelines, so stick to the fruits, veggies, meats, and dairy aisles.
