  2. My grocery shopping just got 5 minutes shorter. (I always end up behind a WIC shopper!)

  3. I have been using ewic for a few months (I live in Middlesex county). It is a תענוג רוחני!! You can shop for other items at the same time as wic. It automatically pays for the wic items (must use wic card first).

    The app works great. App has a barcode scan feature that works well to check if item is Wic approved and how many you personally can buy. You can buy just the items you need now without the whole buying everything on the check headache. You can use self checkout at Walmart and ShopRite.

    If you dont have the app it works just fine as well. Every time you use it your receipt prints out what you have left for this month.

    1. Its a pleasure. Not sure if its ruchniyusdik or just plain satisfying to have an onerous chore streamlined

    2. Only they will get a shock that the some of the items were not covered by wic and they never would have purchased the item... your line behind one of these people may get longer..

  6. It took until 2022 for them to arrange this.
    And we still have to believe in American exceptionalism..........
    Most countries are so much more advanced, it's scary.
