Using Self-Checkout with the WIC Card

Currently, all HyVee, Walmart, and Target stores allow self-checkout with WIC cards.

Additional stores allowing self-checkout with WIC cards are:

• Econo Foods, 160 Tyler Rd S, Red Wing
• Family Fare, 601 Division St, Northfield
• Family Fare, 425 Main St W, Cannon Falls
• Family Fare, 951 E Frontage Rd, Litchfield
• Family Fresh Market, 612 S Minnesota Ave, Saint Peter

Other large chain stores (Cub, Super One, Coborns/Cashwise, Lunds & Byerlys) are not currently offering self-checkout with WIC cards.

Tips for Using Self-Checkout:

• Transactions completed at self-checkout should be small when possible.
• Target has an item limit at self-checkout in some of their stores. Be aware of the item limit before entering the self-checkout line.
• HyVee allows balance inquiries at self-checkout, but Walmart does not.
• Removing an item from the transaction requires approval from a store associate.
• Using the My Minnesota WIC app, and registering the WIC card with the app, is the best way to ensure that the correct foods are brought to the self-checkout register, are paid for using the WIC card, and do not result in an unexpected balance due.
• Customer Service Managers oversee self-checkout and can help, if an issue arises.
