Does Dollar Tree accept EBT?
Dollar Tree's own store locator marks individual stores with an Accepts EBT label, so acceptance appears to be set store by store. In the nine city pages we saw, the listed stores carried the label, but we could not open every store's page and we cannot tell what the label looks like on a store that does not accept EBT. Not every store sells food. Check your store's locator page or call the store before you go.
| Way to shop | EBT accepted? | Details |
|---|---|---|
| In store | Partly | Dollar Tree's own store locator marks individual stores with an Accepts EBT label, so acceptance appears to be set store by store. In the nine city pages we saw, the listed stores carried the label, but we could not open every store's page and we cannot tell what the label looks like on a store that does not accept EBT. Not every store sells food. Check your store's locator page or call the store before you go. |
| Online | Partly | Dollar Tree's same-day ordering runs through Instacart, and Instacart's Dollar Tree pages say EBT SNAP is accepted for grocery orders placed there, in full or in part, from participating Dollar Tree stores in select states. We found no Dollar Tree page saying EBT works for regular shipped orders on dollartree.com, so we do not claim it. Third-party sites disagree on this and none cites Dollar Tree. |
| Pickup | Partly | Instacart's Dollar Tree pages say EBT SNAP is accepted for pickup orders placed through Instacart, at participating stores in select states. Availability depends on your store and state. Check the order screen for the EBT option. |
| Delivery | Partly | Instacart's Dollar Tree pages say EBT SNAP is accepted for same-day delivery orders at participating stores in select states, and the pages for cities such as New York, Chicago, Phoenix and Atlanta say so. Instacart's help page, hosted on Dollar Tree's same-day site, says an EBT card cannot pay delivery and service fees, bottle deposit fees, taxes or tips, or non-eligible items. You need a credit or debit card on your account to cover those. |
