So they should take that out of the brochure. Supposedly WIC covers refrigerated juices - but there was not one product in this entire section that they covered. But wait - what's this? A store brand of Vermont cheddar actually made by Cabot? Yes, please. Remember, yesterday, at Meijer, the Meijer store brand equivalent was rejected. This store brand had an acceptable ingredient list, the price was under the cutoff point, and it was listed on the shelf as WIC-allowed: We really just don't need to _taunt_ our food into developing antibiotic-resistant pathogens like that. To me it's like buying bread that is pre-injected with penicillin. There was Kraft:īut Kraft (and a lot of store brands) now have Natamycin in them. This fresh mozarella met the price point and we considered it:īut we decided to see what was in the regular cheese section. So we decided to avoid risking another mess at the checkout.
These look like they are covered, for a person who has cheese on their approved monthly shopping list, but the WIC materials say that you can't buy cheese that costs more than $8.00 a pound. Kroger helpfully labels WIC-allowed items right on the shelf. If the cashier can't or won't address the issue, ask to talk to the store manager, or go the service desk and call the TX WIC office.This afternoon we went to Kroger to try to get the WIC items we couldn't get at Meijer yesterday. If the cashier has a negative attitude, first stay calm and ask questions to learn more about the cashier's concerns. At checkout, separate your WIC foods from the rest of your grocery items in your cart to make it easier for the cashier to identify WIC foods. If you have an alternate shopper setup, make sure your proxies sign the WIC ID before they get to the store. To reduce the hassles at the register, make sure to bring your Texas WIC ID to the store when you shop. Use cooler to keep meats, milk, cheese and other items cold during your trip.Have cash and small bills available to speed up your checkout.Use coupons, discounts, sales and promotions to save money.You can do the same with combining ounces of juice.Option to combine foods from Whole Grains category (bread, rice, & tortillas).Do not sign the WIC check until the cashier has written the total on it.For paper WIC checks, make sure the clerk enters correct price on check.Tell the store clerk you are using WIC benefits.Buy foods printed on WIC check or listed on the CA WIC approved food list.Set an alarm on your cell one week before the "Last Day to Use" on your checks.
