A method, computer program product and system for identifying and locating
items, e.g., eligible WIC items, in a store. A shopping device, such as
one located on a shopping cart, may obtain a WIC participant's
personalized food package that was stored on a smart card provided to the
WIC participant. The shopping device may display the eligible WIC items
in the WIC participant's personalized food package in terms of the layout
of the store. The shopping device may be configured to guide the WIC
participant, such as through arrows or word commands displayed on the
shopping device, to the eligible WIC items. The shopping device may also
be configured to display at the end of the shopping session those WIC
eligible items that were not purchased. In this manner, a system that
implements the WIC-EBT standard while also assisting the WIC participant
in locating their WIC eligible items is provided.
