If you qualify for WIC but don't have it, or you're not sure if you qualify....go down to your local office. WIC is a…

Ikdsr me to

@muva_of_2 😉

I get wic but right now can only go to the actual wic stores. Do you know how I would be able to use my coupons at an actual grocery store?

@jae it may be different in your state. I can go to any store that accepts wic including corner stores, pharmacies, etc. Also i have a card. Not checks. Call your wic office to ask mama

You orange juice?

@dizmomrockz yes i get orange juice as well.

Well I know it can done here because the stores have the little signs that has all the wic approved stuff labeled. I just dk what the difference is in the coupons.

@jae the shelves will be labled wic under the item if you're allowed to get it. You can also ask an employee if you're not sure

I know that lol. What I'm saying is the coupons I have through WIC I'm not allowed to use in regular stores. They tell me I have to use them in the WIC stores only.

@jae sorry i didn't read your last comment thoroughly. But i dint understand what you mean when you say regular grocery store and wic store. I shop at a regular grocery store that accepts wic benefits

Right. So in Illinois I guess there are two different types of coupons? There are regular grocery store coupons that I could use at like Walmart or target and then there are coupons that can only be used at actual WIC stores. I have the ones that I can only use at actual WIC stores and idk how to get the ones I can use at a regular store like Walmart. I'm sorry if I'm confusing you. This is probably something I should be asking them lol

@jae oh i understand what you mean. Unfortunately i dont know the answer. Here in Connecticut we get a debit style card. It comes with a list of pur balance. Example: $20 for fruits, 3 loaves of bread, 3 doz eggs etc. When you go to the store you buy what you need example: $5 of fruits, 1 loaf of bread and 1 doz eggs. It deducts from your card and you get a printout of your balance. They make it really easy to use wic here

My card @jae

My balance etc @jae

Omg Illinois needs to do it like that

I get wic too. Not ashamed either! We can get lactaid milk though?! We still get the checks

We get the checks. Honestly it'd be easier if all states had a card
