    Ah, been quite a while since I interacted with any of them personally, like when my middle kid was born ago so it’s a bit fuzzy. I recall WIC was pretty specific lists like you get 2 milks and one cereal and one thing of eggs…

      WIC (was) insanely specific when I worked grocery 20 years ago. I mean down to oz in the paper things, and the machine would get grumpy if the cereals were off that even by a little. And everything had to be scanned, then scan in the papers and hope it worked. Loved the ladies who made that the entire section with each paper on top of its respective foods. Easier.

      Snap, even back then, was just a card and convered almost everything (no hot, no prepared, no alcohol, no smokes)
