Yes — ShopRite accepts EBT at all store locations and is one of the original eight retailers approved by the USDA for online SNAP purchasing. You can use your EBT card in-store at the register or self-checkout, and online for pickup and delivery orders through ShopRite’s website and app.
Online EBT is available in six states: New York, New Jersey, Connecticut, Delaware, Maryland, and Pennsylvania. No minimum purchase is required for EBT orders.
In-Store EBT at ShopRite
ShopRite is a USDA-authorized SNAP retailer across all of its 250+ independently owned stores, primarily in the Northeast. Your EBT card works at staffed checkout lanes and self-checkout kiosks for eligible grocery purchases.
ShopRite’s stores label EBT-eligible items throughout, and many locations use their Price Plus Club loyalty program — digital coupons and weekly savings can be stacked on top of EBT purchases to stretch your benefits further.
ShopRite EBT Online: Pickup and Delivery
ShopRite was one of the first eight retailers selected for the USDA’s SNAP Online Purchasing Pilot in 2019, making it a pioneer in online EBT grocery shopping. Today, ShopRite accepts EBT for both pickup and delivery orders in six states through its website and app.

- New York

ShopRite also offers EBT ordering through Instacart at select locations in the same six states.
ShopRite from Home: Pickup Option
ShopRite from Home is ShopRite’s curbside pickup service. EBT is accepted for pickup orders — a ShopRite associate brings your bagged groceries to your car when you arrive at your reserved time slot.
This is one of the most convenient EBT options available, particularly for shoppers with mobility challenges or transportation limitations. No tip is required for pickup (though you can pay a nominal pickup fee with a separate payment method at some locations).
What You Can Buy With EBT at ShopRite
Standard SNAP rules apply. ShopRite carries a full grocery selection — every major SNAP-eligible category is available:
- Fresh produce — fruits, vegetables, herbs; ShopRite’s produce section is a strength, with frequent sales and a wide seasonal selection
- Meat, poultry, and seafood — fresh and frozen; weekly meat specials are a regular feature
- Dairy — milk, eggs, cheese, yogurt, and butter
- Bread and grains — bakery bread, cereals, pasta, rice
- Canned and packaged goods — beans, soups, sauces, snacks
- Frozen foods — meals, vegetables, fruit, and desserts
- Non-alcoholic beverages — juice, water, soda, and other drinks (subject to state restrictions)
- Seeds and food-producing plants — where stocked
Not covered by EBT at ShopRite:
- Hot prepared foods from the deli or prepared foods counter
- Alcohol (ShopRite carries wine and beer in some states — pay separately)
- Vitamins and supplements (Supplement Facts label)
- Non-food household items
- Delivery fees, tips, and service charges
Coupons and Savings Stacked With EBT
ShopRite’s Price Plus Club loyalty program is one of the best ways to extend your SNAP dollars. Paper manufacturer coupons, digital coupons, and store promotions can all be applied before EBT is charged — the coupon value is deducted first, then EBT covers the reduced total.
Digital coupons are clipped through the ShopRite app or website and applied automatically when your Price Plus Club card or account is scanned at checkout. This stacking approach is particularly effective during ShopRite’s regular “Can Can Sale” and weekly circular specials.
ShopRite Cooperative Model: What It Means for EBT
ShopRite is a cooperative of independently owned and operated stores — similar to IGA in structure, though ShopRite stores are larger and more consistent in format. Because each store is independently owned, some minor service variations exist by location (pickup time slots, specific departments).
EBT acceptance, however, is consistent chainwide because all ShopRite stores are SNAP-authorized retailers through the same Wakefern Food Corp. cooperative framework. The online EBT program launched in November 2022 through Instacart across all ShopRite locations.
