The money is intended for households to buy groceries, snacks, and seeds or plants that produce food. SNAP benefits cannot be used to purchase alcohol, tobacco products, vitamins, live animals, prepared foods, or nonfood household items.

WIC packages can also be purchased, which include cereal, juice, eggs, milk, peanut butter, dried and canned beans, tofu, fruit, vegetables, and whole wheat bread. Households with breastfeeding mothers and babies can receive canned fish, cheese, and baby food in the WIC package.
