I would first like to say thank you, yes it would help with buying medicine and some groceries but for me I used it the first time and it was a good experience, I live on a ss income and when I went to check out I ended up paying for most of my stuff myself, I scanned the stuff and got it and by the time I checked out I was having to take money out of my power bill money, I really don't like it, just make sure you have money with you because you will end up paying for the groceries like I had to
