SNAP covers food meant to be prepared or eaten at home. At Sheetz, that generally includes:
- Packaged snacks, chips and candy
- Bottled water, soda, juice and milk
- Bread, fruit, cheese and other grocery items
- Cold, packaged grab-and-go sandwiches and salads
What you can't buy with SNAP
- Hot food, including MTO burgers, fryz and hot coffee
- Food sold to be eaten in the store
- Alcohol, tobacco and vapes
- Fuel, car washes, lottery and non-food items like toiletries
Restaurant Meals Program
Some states run a Restaurant Meals Program that lets eligible SNAP recipients (often older adults, people with disabilities and people experiencing homelessness) buy prepared meals at approved retailers. A Sheetz store can only accept SNAP for hot food if it's approved in that program, and few convenience stores are.
Using EBT at checkout
- Tell the cashier you'll pay with EBT, or put SNAP-eligible items in a separate group.
- Swipe or insert your EBT card and enter your PIN.
- Pay for non-eligible items with another payment method.
EBT cash benefits, where you have them, can generally be used for any item, like a debit card.
