Food stamp cuts hit retailers serving low income shoppers
The United States trims SNAP by about 6 percent, reducing the average benefit for a four person family by roughly $36 a month. Walmart and dollar stores face renewed pressure as discount retailers rely on lower income consumers, while the program’s expansion of the past five years recedes. The tighter aid follows an expiration of the 2009 boost, with eligibility and savings varying by household.
