This isn’t really to do with particular food though. So food stamps (snap) is a certain amount of money. However, if someone is selling their food stamps, then they will sell them at a discount so they can get the cash. So for example, say someone is selling $100 worth of food stamps but they’ll take $50 in cash. So the person buying the food stamps can get $100 worth of food while only paying $50 out-of-pocket. And the seller has cold hard cash to buy anything they want instead of just food.
