Instacart is the go-to service for easy and effective grocery delivery.
I personally use it all the time.
It’s seriously PRICELESS

On Instacart, you’ll find many places with grocery delivery that accepts EBT, including:
Food Lion

AMAZON
You can shop on Amazon with food stamps if you receive your benefits in any state EXCEPT Alaska, Hawaii, Louisiana and Montana. You don’t even need to have a Prime membership to qualify for exclusive deals when you shop on Amazon with food stamps!
In some states, users can order online with EBT but will need to pick up their groceries. Delivery is not available for online EBT purchases in these states:

If your store allows this, you’ll see the option to add an EBT card to your account when you checkout. You may need to wait 24 hours for validation before you can place your order with no basket minimums.
