Using Self-Checkout with the WIC Card


Currently, all HyVee stores and all Walmart 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 (Target, 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.
  • 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.

The HyVee Self-Checkout Video is a short YouTube video tutorial on how to use self-checkout with the WIC Card.

The following is an image of HyVee's self-checkout screen where "Other Payment Options" should be selected as Payment Type.
