Bulk-buyers can rejoice as those participating in the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) will find many items that are eligible for purchase at Costco. All Costco locations accept EBT cards and adhere to the state’s laws on what can be purchased. Even if you don’t have an EBT card specifically, whatever you load your SNAP benefits onto can be used at Costco.

Costco shoppers can take advantage of purchasing items in bulk to save more money than getting them at the local grocery store. Here’s a look at the best items you can buy at Costco with an EBT or similar assistance program card.

Frito Lay Classic Mix, Variety Pack, 54-count

• Price: $23.49

For what comes out to about $0.44 a bag, you can eat a wide variety of potato chips. Flavors in this pack include Cool Ranch Doritos, Nacho Cheese Doritos, Classic Lays, Fritos, Barbecue Lays, Cheddar & Sour Cream Ruffles and Crunchy Cheese Cheetos.

Kirkland Signature Organic Extra Virgin Olive Oil, 2 Liter

• Price: $20.99

Be prepared with two liters of this cooking staple so you never run out in the middle of preparing a meal again. Costco’s brand of olive oil is cold-pressed with a rich taste. It’s a great way to save on something you use every day in the kitchen.

Wonderful Pistachios, 24-Count Variety Pack

• Price: $18.99

Stay stocked on snacks with a variety pack of seasoned pistachios. Add them to your lunch as a side or keep them handy for when you need something to hold you over until dinner. These are also kosher, gluten-free and non-GMO.

Cinnamon Toast Crunch Cereal, 2-count

• Price: $10.99

In a grocery store, you might pay between $7 and 8 for one box of Cinnamon Toast Crunch, but at Costco, you basically get two boxes for the price of one. Savings like this are a great way to sweeten your breakfast bowl. 

Kirkland Signature Ocean Spray Cranberry Juice, 2-count

• Price: $9.99

If you love cranberry juice, this is an incredible deal, especially when you factor in the two powerhouse brands of Kirkland and Ocean Spray. This is one of the many examples where you’re saving by buying Costco’s Kirkland Signature brand, but with a boost. 

Capri Sun Variety Pack, 40-Count

• Price: $15.49

Capri Sun is always a refreshing drink in the hot sun for the kids. This variety pack comes with 40 pouches in 3 flavors: fruit punch, berry and apple. If you are ever able to get the straw into the pouch successfully, it’ll serve as a great addition to a packed lunch or beach cooler. 

Kirkland Signature Dark Roast Colombian Coffee, 42-Count

• Price: $39.99

Buy this coffee at a bargain and wake up every morning glad you did. This comes out to about $0.95 per 1.75-ounce bag, which is much less than it will cost you for a cup of coffee at a cafe. Enjoy this dark roast for weeks of savings.
