Get Free Food with Double Up Food Bucks Texas!

Get Free Food with Double Up Food Bucks Texas!

You can double your food benefits through Double Up Food Bucks Texas! This organization provides a dollar-for-dollar match so that you can get twice as much food as you pay for. It’s an incredible opportunity to get even more healthy food with your food stamps dollars.

In this article, we’ll review what this program is, who is eligible for it, how it works and what you need to do to start getting more food for your money.

What is Double Up Food Bucks Texas?

This is the Texas branch of the nationwide Double Up Food Bucks movement. This organization is dedicated to improving nutrition for low income people across America by giving you free fruits and vegetables when you shop with your SNAP benefits.

In Texas, there are around 50 participating locations that will help you get these extras. Don’t forget your Texas EBT discounts, too!

Who is eligible?

There are no extra eligibility requirements for this program!

You just need to shop with your SNAP EBT card at a participating market, as listed below.

How does it work?

The program works a little differently depending on whether you are shopping at a grocery store or a farmers market.

Grocery Stores

Each grocery store decides how to handle this program independently. Some stores will issue you a coupon at checkout so you can spend your Double Up dollars on your next visit. Other stores track your extra benefits on loyalty cards, and others may provide an instant 50% discount.

Either way, you can only use those benefits to purchase fresh fruits and vegetables at the store where you earned those credits. You can’t earn them at one store and spend them at another.

The good news is that you can use this program year-round at participating grocery stores! This is a huge advantage because most farmers markets are seasonal.

Farmers Markets

At the Farmers Market, things work a little differently. Instead of shopping from one store, you’re actually shopping from many different farmers who have gathered at the market.

To make the checkout process easier, most markets will ask you to visit the information booth or welcome table so that you can speak to the market manager. They’ll ask how much money you want to spend that day, and they’ll run your card for that amount. In exchange, you’ll receive tokens that you can use to purchase things from the vendors at the market.

You’ll actually receive two sets of tokens: one for the money you spent and an extra set of Double Up tokens. The tokens you paid for can be used to buy any EBT-eligible items at the market. The Double Up ones will look different and can only be used to purchase locally grown fruits and vegetables.

There is a $30 per day limit on Double Up tokens, though.

What markets participate in DUFB Texas?

The first step to using this program is finding a participating market. There are over 50 participating grocery stores and farmers markets in Texas.

We’ve organized the following list alphabetically by city for your convenience. Please note that some retailers will also double benefits from other programs, including WIC, WIC’s FMNP and SFMNP. Some retailers also have different daily limits, ranging from $5 per day to $40 per day.
