Walmart accepts EBT and has cheap groceries. So, when the EBT refreshes you get quite the crowd there. A lot of money gets spent. For folks not going to Walmart, it is interesting to see what is on sale or what never goes on sale at the first of the month.

Now, the interesting thing is since Walmart is such a destination, you will find some interesting policing in some communities. I would love someone to do an actual study on who gets tickets at what times of the month. After all, kicking people when they are down is pretty safe.
