I've tried to make your local Montana Scavenger hunt as easy as possible by providing the following information for all the major Farmers Markets in MT:
Montana Farmers Market Name

Montana Farmers Market Contact Information
Whether market is covered or not
Daily and Seaonal Operating schedule
Accepted Payment Options and Federal Assistance & Nutrition Programs - "WIC", "SFMNP", "EBT":
WIC Vouchers
WIC or "Women, Infants, and Children Program" is a Federal assistance program for postpartum, breastfeeding, or low-income women or infants and children found to be at risk for nutritional deficiency. Your Montana WIC agency may provide nutrition education, health care referrals, or supplemental food vouchers good at your local Flea or Farmers Market via your state's WIC Farmers Market Nutrition Program.
SFMNP Vouchers
SFMNP or "Senior Farmers Market Nutrition Program" is a Federally funded nutrition program designed to assist low-income senior citizens. Your Montana SFMNP agency provides qualifying seniors with coupons that can be used at eligible community supported agriculture programs, roadside stands, or Farmers Markets in Montana for purchase of "fresh, unprocessed, and nutritious fresh-cut herbs, fruits, and vegetables."
EBT or "Electronic Benefits Transfer" (i.e. Credit Cards or Debit Cards)
Of course cash is king at all Montana Flea Markets and Farmers Markets, so you can't go wrong by bringing plenty of "all-mighty Dollars" with you. But if credit cards are accepted, you have the added benefit of a Federal law which limits your losses due to fraudulent credit card transactions to only $50. And there may also be protection through your credit card company against disputed charges or quality of goods. Something to think about in case you happen upon a big ticket item like furniture, tools, or antiques. So plastic may be the way to go at some Montana Flea Markets.

I Escaped the Rat Race ... Here's How!
I'm frugal as heck and I question EVERYTHING!
That's part of the reason I was able to just quit my much hated and unhealthy wage-slave corporate job at the ripe old age of 38.
Life really doesn't have to be so darned difficult. I'm loving my new-found freedom!
No more suits, no more commutes, no more stress from moronic coworkers & bosses, no more rationing precious little vacation time, and no more waking up at 4 am!
I now work from home full-time and earn a steady income from my websites (this one included).
Besides my own self-reliance & perseverance, I owe a big thank you to the tried and true discovery that is empowering me to live life on MY terms.
They have become like my second family, but I only wish I had found them years earlier than I did.
I sincerely hope this thrifty website helps you to find your way down that road less traveled toward greater independence.
Yours Truly,
Marc A. Smith

I'll bet old frugal & entrepreneurial Benjamin Franklin would have marveled at the power of the internet, especially when compared to the limited colonial reach of his "Poor Richard's Almanac" published from his early printing presses.
If he were alive today, I'm sure, like me, he probably would have figured out a way to earn a nice living online by building web businesses around his various hobbies and diverse know-how. He'd be sharing ideas with millions of people from all over the world, and he'd probably be "doing well by doing good" online.
I think Ben would have loved SBI! because it is unmatched for empowering every day folks like you and me to build extra income, independence, and freedom using the power of the web.
I'm using SBI!'s intuitive, highly affordable, all-in-one system of tools and step-by-step instructions to build Frugalicity.com and my other web businesses. I love it! I'd never use anything else.
