Comments: Thanks to one of my students I learned about this list of stores that accept 3Squares VT (food stamps). http://www.vermontfoodhelp.com/where-can-i-use-3squaresvt
Throughout my Hunger Challenge I bought food at the following places and I've made a note as to whether or not they take 3SquaresVT:
Price Chopper: YES
Shelburne Supermarket: YES
Brueggers Bagels: NO
Healthy Living: Not Sure.. - Maybe they are living up to their name as we like to joke 'wealthy living'. They are not on this list. I called them today and they said they DO, yet it did not seem like a very confident yes that I received from the person on the phone. I will call again another day and ask.
A better choice for buying in bulk would have been City Market, which is a large co-op in downtown Burlington. I will buy my food there next year when I take the challenge again.
