strategic 'Stamps-spending

Where you cleverly dodge the state "snack tax" by mostly using just cash-funds from your SSI check to purchase "basic staple" items like milk, cereal, produce, meat, etc, and reserve the allotment on your Food Stamps card for buying soft drinks, seltzer water, dry-roasted nuts, and other equally-simple stuff that's really just an ordinary everyday comestible, also, but the greedy government classifies it as a "snack food" so that they can charge you sales-tax if you use regular cash to pay for it, but the tax is "forgiven" if you buy it with Food Stamps.

I bought some bulk-bottles of unsalted dry-roasted peanuts so I'd have several months' worth of healthy snacks to munch on throughout the day, and by using strategic 'Stamps-spending, I saved several dollars in sales-tax.
