• Baby formula.
• Baby foods.
• Bread and bakery items.
• All types of cereals.

You can use your EBT card the same as you would a debit or credit card when making an in-store purchase. If you are making an online purchase with your EBT card, you have the option for grocery delivery and pickup.

To check out online with Publix using your EBT card, TipWho says to open your cart or tap the green Checkout button. Then, enter your credit or debit card information, and enter your delivery address or pickup time. Next, add your EBT card information and click Edit to select how much to pay from your EBT card. Confirm the payment method and click Place Order. Afterward, you will need to enter your EBT card PIN to verify the order.
