Yes, Costco does accept EBT (Electronic Benefits Transfer) cards for SNAP (Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program) purchases.
Costco allows EBT cardholders to buy eligible food items at their warehouse locations. However, it’s important to know that you cannot use EBT for online orders at Costco.com.
EBT benefits can only be used in-store. This means you’ll need to visit a Costco warehouse to shop for groceries and other approved items.
Items that you can purchase with EBT include fresh produce, dairy products, meat, and bakery items. However, non-food items and hot prepared foods are typically not eligible for EBT payment.
Make sure to check your local Costco’s EBT policy, as there can be slight variations in acceptance. It’s always a good idea to ask a store employee if you’re unsure which items are eligible.
If you’re looking to stretch your SNAP benefits, Costco can be a great option. They often offer bulk items at lower prices, which can help your budget go further.
