Food Basket Deals with Matching Coupons

 Here is a short list of match ups I did with advertised deals and coupons. I used an alphabetized list of unexpired coupons and my Sunday paper to match up with the ad. I will post one for Randalls shortly.

My first impression of Hodges Food Baket

I visited the store for the first time yesterday. When you walk through the doors its a blast form the past Texas style. The workers are nice and the customers shopping all seemed to be in a great mood while there. The owners work there and make sure they greet everyone, its cute and quaint and its selection caters to Houstonian tastes. The produce was fresh, the meat looked good and the way the aisles were set up made me somewhat nostalgic for the days before the big warehouse stores. The parking was ample and the store was easy to get to.

On the flip side the prices were hit or miss, some were really good like the bread for 77¢, some were pretty steep. I probably will only shop there by sales ad.

Overall I was impressed with the store, they are friendly , have good deals, and good quality items. Makes you wonder why you would want to step foot into a Walmart again.

Hodge's Food Basket Coupon Policy

Hodge's Food Basket coupon policy as follows:

• Manufacturer's coupons and printed manufacturer's coupons taken 
• They do not accept photocopies of coupons, all coupons must be valid and unexpired
• Any first manufacturer's coupon 1¢-50¢ is tripled
• Any second manufacturer's coupon 1¢-50¢ is doubled
• Any third manufacturer's coupon is discounted as coupon states
• Only one transaction is allowed for tripling and doubling coupons, no multiple transactions.

The Woodlands, TX stores that double and triple coupons

I currently live in Spring, TX and the two stores in my area that double and triple coupons are Randalls on 4775 W. Panther Creek Dr. and Hodges Food Basket 26824 I-45 N in Spring, TX.

Randalls will triple any coupon 1¢- 39¢ and double any coupon 40¢-50¢. Randalls will only triple and double the first like coupon, so if you have more than one of the same coupon to double or triple you would have to do separate transactions for each like coupon.

**For example, Randalls had Colagte toothpaste on sale for 99¢, and I had six coupons for 50¢ off any Colgate toothpaste. I had to separate the toothpastes in 6 different transactions in order for the coupons to double making all six toothpastes free.**

Food Basket will triple any first like coupons 1¢-50¢, and double second like coupons 1¢-50¢, but they do not allow more than one transaction per visit.

**An example would be if I had two coupons for 25¢ off Heinz ketchup  which is on sale for 99¢. The first coupon would be tripled to 75¢ off one bottle of ketchup and the next coupon would double to the value of 50¢ off the second bottle of ketchup.**
