Yes, you can use SNAP benefits at Costco.
SNAP (Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program) benefits can be used at Costco locations, but there are some important details to keep in mind.
Costco accepts EBT cards, which include SNAP benefits, for eligible food items. However, Costco does not accept EBT cards for online purchases.
You’ll need to visit a physical Costco store to use your benefits. Be sure to check which items are eligible, as SNAP only covers food and non-alcoholic beverages.
It’s also worth noting that you must have a Costco membership to shop there. Some locations may allow non-members to enter, but membership is generally required for purchasing.
Make sure to bring your EBT card and use it at the checkout just like a debit card.
Keep an eye out for any state-specific restrictions that might apply to your SNAP benefits when shopping.
