WIC Shopping Tips
- Make sure you have your WIC card with you.
- Be courteous to the staff helping you.
- Use your WIC-allowable food list.
- Use your benefits any time after the first of each month—and before they expire at the end of the month.
- Some stores may need you to keep your personal groceries separate from your WIC groceries when checking out.
- Shop between the hours of 8 a.m. – 5 p.m. in case you need to call the WIC office for assistance.
- 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.
Please call the WIC office if you need any assistance.
