WIC equal women, infants and children and was designed to provide basic nourishment only, milk, cheese. formula, juice. cereal etc. no snacks or other freebees. the government in its wisdom requires a "check" to be filled out for each allotted purchase. In years past it could be for multiple cans of formula but recently when stuck in line at Wal-Mart I realized that the now require a check for each can of formula. So what used to be a slow procedure that was a pain in a@@ is now multiple pains in the a@@.
