If opting for Pickup, it’s best to confirm an order date and time during the checkout process.
Step 3 – Shop for Grocery Items
Wegmans provides an EBT Eligible filter under the Departments menu. Toggle the filter to narrow down the plethora of choices on the website.
If you do not see the filter, try clicking on Departments on the left side menu (arrow “A” above), then the filter should appear for you to toggle (arrow “B”).
Build your shopping cart by clicking on the red “+” buttons by each grocery item. To increase the number of each desired item, simply keep on clicking the “+” button. The little bin decreases the item count in your cart.
