WIC Shopping Experience at the Store

For easy shopping have your my family WIC app open to ensure you purchase the right foods for your family.

Start your checkout

Let the cashier know you are using your WIC Card. Ask when to swipe your WIC Card and enter your PIN. Always swipe your WIC Card first before using other forms of payment, such as Cal Fresh, debit card, or cash. Some stores may ask you to scan your WIC foods first.

Look over your WIC purchases and make sure all items are correct on the card machine before your sale is totaled. If a food is not available on your WIC Food Balance, you can put it back or pay with another form of payment. Remember to use your store loyalty card and any coupons you have. Wait for the cashier to complete the sale and give you a final receipt and keep it in a safe place.
