Yes, you can use food stamps at Costco.
Food stamps, or SNAP benefits, can be used at Costco, but there’s a catch. You can only use them in physical Costco locations, not for online purchases.
To use your food stamps, simply swipe your EBT card at the checkout. Make sure to check the eligibility of the items you want to purchase, as not all products qualify.
Costco does not accept EBT for online shopping, so you must visit a store in person. Remember, you can buy groceries and food items, but you cannot use food stamps for non-food items or membership fees.
It’s important to plan your shopping trip to ensure you buy items that are eligible for purchase with food stamps. This can help you maximize your benefits and make the most out of your visit.
