Fun Facts about Missouri EBT

I’ve been updating this list for around 10 years now, and I’ve learned quite a bit along the way. There are some things that many people don’t know about EBT in Missouri!

• You can buy seeds and produce-bearing plants. SNAP benefits can be used to buy more than just your standard groceries. When you shop at an authorized retailer, you can buy seeds and produce-bearing plants and fruit trees so you can grow your own food.
• You can shop at farmers markets and stands. Many farmers markets, farm stands and CSAs are equipped to accept EBT cards. Some will even double your SNAP benefits!
• You can shop at bulk retailers. Costco, Sam’s Club and other large warehouses accept SNAP benefits. It’s a great way to get the most from your money!
• You can use your EBT card in other states. Not only can you shop in other states, you can also get EBT discounts in other states. All of our state lists use green titles to indicate what venues accept out-of-state EBT cards for discounts.
• You can get cash back rewards when you scan your receipts with a rewarded shopping app like Ibotta or Swagbucks.
