WIC Shopping Tips

Make sure you have your eWIC card with you.
Check your benefit balance before shopping to know specific food categories and amounts assigned to your account.
Be courteous to the staff helping you.
Check the WIC Shopper App or your household benefit and appointment list for assigned foods and benefit period dates. Assigned foods can be redeemed anytime within your benefit period.
Some stores may need you to keep your personal groceries separate from your WIC groceries when checking out.
You may choose to purchase all the items in the food package at once or the remaining food items as needed throughout the benefit period.
Look for items on sale while purchasing fruits and vegetables to make the most of your cash value benefit.
If you have a coupon for a product, you may use it on a WIC item.
If a WIC item is on sale, you are entitled to the sale price.
You are entitled to fair and respectful treatment from the grocer.
