To do that without being abused by rich bargain-hunters, you can add in the Costco membership model with geo-discounted signups.

Now you're back to discriminating instead of treating all purchasers the same way, which was the whole point of the theorized workaround.

Geo-discounted membership fees aren’t food stamps pricing discrimination under the USDA restrictions. I’m not trying to unilaterally eliminate pricing differentials based on income, I’m just trying to find a way for a grocery store to lower the costs of food, without being exploited by wealthy people, during a food stamps crisis. I suspect the USDA can’t regulate club membership discounts, but someone else can research that.
