Questions

Is Always Save WIC approved in every state?

No single answer: Always Save items are on 9 of the 14 lists we compare and on none of the lists for California, Maine, Oregon, Washington, ITCA (Arizona tribal) (as of each list's date). States pick their own brands and sizes, so check the product table for your state's column.

Which Always Save products are on the most lists?

Always Save Frz Chopped Broccoli 32oz (7 of 14); Always Save Great Northern Beans 15.5oz (6 of 14); Always Save Red Kidney Beans 15.5oz (6 of 14).

My state is California. Can I still buy Always Save?

A product that is not on your state's list will usually be declined at the register, but lists change: New York's list itself says "There may be eligible products that are not on this list." Look for the WIC shelf tag, scan it in your state's WIC shopping app, or ask your WIC clinic.

Why does one Always Save size work and another not?

WIC lists authorize exact barcodes. The same fruits & vegetables in a different size, pack or flavor has a different UPC, and many states allow only certain container sizes. Compare the UPC on your package with the UPC shown here.
