What can I purchase with my EBT card?

With your EBT card, you can purchase a variety of essential food items. These typically include fruits, vegetables, dairy products, bread, meat, poultry, fish, and cereals. You can also buy seeds and plants that produce food for you and your family. Non-alcoholic beverages, such as coffee and tea, are also acceptable. However, it is important to note that you cannot use your EBT card to purchase alcohol, tobacco products, vitamins, supplements, pet food, household supplies, or hot prepared foods. Additionally, any non-food items such as clothing, electronics, or personal care products cannot be bought with EBT benefits. It is crucial to familiarize yourself with the approved and restricted items list to ensure proper and eligible usage of your EBT card.
