    People literally sell plates of food from their dirty kitchens on Marketplace. I’ve seen it, wild prices too, like $15 for a BBQ plate.

        I got mine delivered, but they also had a local pickup option. The “company” is in a legal state, I lived in a different state where its not legal, they didn’t care.

        Its crazy. I used to buy edibles off someone I seen advertising on Facebook myself. They sold them on Etsy.

        A lot of low income people will use their food stamps to buy food and then make “plates” of food and sell them to convert food stamps into cash. Less shady and illegal than using a independant convenience store or bodega to make “withdrawals” from your food stamp account.

          Another version of this is people waiting at gas stations offering to buy your gas if you pay them in cash, while taking a discount obviously.

          They get cash, you get cheaper gas. Ive never accepted the offer, but been solicited several times
