WIC

Okay so this is kind of an odd question... but those of you that get WIC do you receive cheese?  I don't get cheese, and I thought I would.  I remember a few years back my sister was on WIC and she got cheese.  Just thought it was kind of strange.

On mine the checks once a month you get one thats says

(1- Gal 2% or 1% or fat free milk ) OR (1- 16 oz. cheese and 1 qt. buttermilk)

1 doz. eggs - large only

So you can get cheese and butter milk or just milk

I do, but I also have a 3 year old son that's on it, so I don't know if it's him that gets the cheese or me, I'm pretty sure my amount of cheese went up when I got on WIC for my pregnancy, too though. Sometimes you have to choose your package, I'd ask about it next time.
