[LalaLove7]

Good afternoon .

p.s

I was going to do all this from Wal-mart.

BUMP!

You can buy a cake from wal-mart with your EBT, or you used to, but I'm sure you still can. You can also call ahead to make sure.

I don't think you can buy food platters.

[QuiltLover]

I have never had anything like that so I cant help...sorry....

[RobinChristine]

I think you can buy all of that,it is precooked food you cannot buy such has hot soup or hot chicken,....

[cookin_mama665]

Yes to everything.

[aj23]

Yes you can. Any cold food can be bought.
It may be cheaper for you to make your own platter though. Those things can get expensive and for the same amount you could make your own and have extra to use for meals or snacks at home.

yup, you can buy anything that isn't hot as far as I know. I know for sure you can get the cake and I'd be comfortable saying yes to the sandwiches too.

As long as what you order isn't HOT food, you can.  For instance, you can't get the chicken or anything like that from the deli, but you can get meats and the sandwich platter and the cakes.  Those are cool and pre-made.

You can buy a cake (I'm not sure about that if you have it special ordered but if you buy one that they've already made, then yes it covers it).  As for the platter, you can buy cold ones.  I'm not sure about the hot food.  I have never tried it but I knew someone who used to use their food stamps to buy hot meals from Publix.  I was told that as long is you can eat it from a grocery store, then you can buy it with food stamps (minus alcohol).
