Helpful Hints for WIC Clients

Have questions ready

  • WIC staff can answer questions and support you and your family

Have your WIC app open while you shop

  • You may have used some of your benefits already and the WIC app can help prevent confusion at the register.

Keep an eye on package sizes 

  • There are lots of food options out there, but some may not be WIC approved because of their size. For example, watch for 16 ounce loaves of bread and 8 or 16 ounce blocks of cheese.

Buy bulk

  • Shoppers may find bulk fruits and vegetables you bag yourself to be most consistent to purchase.

WIC shopping

  • Taking time to learn about foods and WIC formula before you shop will help you to be successful at the grocery store.
