For many, the ever-increasing cost of living means stretching dollars as much as possible. However, people receiving SNAP or EBT benefits are eligible for additional perks aimed to help ease financial burdens.

Walmart

EBT recipients who want to sign up for Walmart+ can do so with a discount. Walmart+ Assist Offers a 50% discount to users who get government subsidies.

Normally $12.95 per month, the program is available to EBT recipients for just $6.47 per month. Perks include delivery from your neighborhood store, free shipping with no minimum purchase quantity, fuel savings, Paramount+ movie streaming, and more. To easily verify eligibility, have your EBT card handy when applying.

Instacart

For a flat standard fee of $99/year or $9.99/month, Instacart+ members enjoy unlimited free delivery on orders of $35 or more (per retailer).

The fee for standard instacart members is $3.99 plus per order.

Instacart+ members also receive 5% credit back on eligible pickup orders (excludes alcohol and prescriptions).

Amazon

To those who have an EBT card, Amazon Prime Access offers all of the features of Amazon Prime at a substantial discount.

For EBT recipients, Amazon Prime is available for just $6.99 a month instead of the standard $14.99.

While EBT won’t cover media, clothing or similar purchases, members can use their benefits to purchase hundreds of EBT-eligible items, with free Amazon Prime shipping.

A penny saved is also a penny that can be spent elsewhere. Even a few dollars each month could make a substantial difference to those just trying to stay afloat.
