Used my WIC checks for the first time today. & got to say not as bad or a pain in the a** as some…

It used to be before the debit card

I just used mine for the first time too & the only thing I was getting hung up on was the cheese lol ... There's too many restrictions & sizes. @kmarie1303

@junesmommy_15 debit card?! Lol No card in my state except for EBT food stamps. WIC here is still paper checks with specifics of what u can &can not buy.

Oh no. They are switched to debit card here last September. Much easier and faster. Ebt would be nice.

@alyssa.lynn my counselor or WIC agent gave me a helpful booklet that says what's allowed & what's not. So I snapped a pic of all that I was planning to buy today. So I knew what brands & sizes I could get but basically with the cheese. U can only get block cheese. No singles or string sticks anything like that. & the flavors matter too I guess cuz I had a pepper jack one & it didn't meet the policy.

I have a WIC card😍

We only get $11 in fruits & veggies.

I hate using my WIC card...always issues with it. Like managers having to override stuff because the stuff not ringing up the way it should be even tho it's all correct. So frustrating and embarrasing. Its happened the last 4 times I've tried to use it. Ugh

I need to go I'm 18 weeks and have been procrastinating its not even cool.

@mom2lynniejade88 @jleexoxo a little jealous wish we had a card for it. But we just got the paper still. & same we only get $11 for fruits &veggies so I went on a day they had sales.

@babymcgoldrick I procrastinated too till about 19 weeks. & it was so easy peasy i couldn't believe it. Called got an appt within 3 days. Then sat with the counselor for maybe a half hr - 45 mins tops! Go get it done girl!

I know I plan on it this upcoming week @kmarie1303

Lol yeah. I like the card. That's what I need to do, go on sale days😍 I usually get grapes, bananas, strawberries & broccoli. Lol

@mom2lynniejade88 Lol I got broccoli, 2 things of straw berries, bell peppers, cucumbers, green beans, baby carrots, & asparagus. & paid about 6$ more after the 11$ was up. I wanted make sure I hit 11 & wasn't losing out cuz can't get to many fruits & veggies. Lol

You just reminded me, I need milk.
