Starting Tuesday, May 6, 2025 and until May 9, SNAP participants can receive a 50% discount on qualifying fresh fruits and vegetables when using their SNAP-EBT card at Pay-Less Supermarket locations across the island.

The incentive is a pilot program called Dopble Kopble, or “Double Money,” funded by a grant awarded to University of Guam Cooperative Extension & Outreach.

Dopble Kopble is funded by the Gus Schumacher Nutrition Incentive Program, and it is the first time the grant has been awarded in Guam.

The GusNIP grant program, under the USDA's National Institute of Food and Agriculture, aims to promote health and food security by making nutritious foods more affordable and accessible for income-eligible households.

The incentive includes all qualifying fresh fruits and vegetables, both local and imported.

The discount does not apply at self-checkout registers and excludes processed produce and produce with added sugar, fats, oils, or sodium.

During the launch, the Guam SNAP-Ed program will be providing cooking demonstrations in all locations so participants can learn and taste new recipes and go home with the recipe.

“This program is a major step in increasing access to healthy food options for Guam’s SNAP recipients,” said Tanisha F. Aflague, Dopble Kopble project director and Guam SNAP-Ed program coordinator at the University of Guam. “We’re proud to be leading an effort that not only supports the community’s health, but also lays the foundation for future nutrition incentive programs in the region.”
