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…

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

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

Omg Illinois needs to do it like that

My balance etc @jae

My card @jae

@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

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 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

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 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

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.

@dizmomrockz yes i get orange juice as well.

You orange juice?

@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

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?
