Foodstamps you can only buy food with, cash you can buy anything. So the parent goes into the store buys mac and cheese for the kids dinner then uses "their cash side" of their food stamp card to buy cigs and booze.

We need to stop that.
I have a friend that buys foodstamp cards from people selling them $.50 on the dollar. LOL. I suppose I shouldn't laugh... but that's one way people get around it.

Not a clue how to avoid it either.
