Once you’ve verified EBT acceptance, it’s time to go shopping. Browse through the store’s aisles and select the food items you wish to purchase. It is important to note that EBT can only be used to buy eligible food items and cannot be used for non-food items such as household supplies or personal care products.
When you are ready to pay for your groceries, proceed to the checkout counter. Inform the cashier that you will be using your EBT card as payment. Hand over your EBT card, and the cashier will guide you through the process. You may be required to enter your PIN to complete the transaction. Once the payment is approved, the eligible food items will be deducted from your EBT balance, just like any other grocery store.
