The 15 Best Things To Buy With SNAP at Costco
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.
Buying at Costco specifically can be beneficial since purchasing items in bulk can save you 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 card.
