Coupon Changes in the Air!!!

WOW!!!  I have been having a hard time keeping up with the recent changes out there with stores and their coupon policies.  I have been waiting to post anything until I was able to verify them myself and am finding what everyone says… is TRUE!!!

ALBERTSONS and DO NOT DOUBLE Coupons:

I have had so many people ask me what it means when an Internet Printable coupon says DO NOT DOUBLE across the top.  Essentially what that means is that the manufacturer will NOT reimburse the store for the “doubling”.  If the coupon is for .50 off Nature Valley Granola Bars and the store doubles it to $1.00, the manufacturer will only send them .50.  It is up to each store whether or not they will double the DO NOT DOUBLE coupons.  I have never had a problem with this… UNTIL yesterday!!!  Of course it was the store that I had trouble with last time (Albs) and I should have learned my lesson by now, but I was SO excited to snag some of the freebies!  Anyways… when I handed the cashier my stack of coupons, she separated them into two piles: internet printables, and other coupons.  The “other” coupons she scanned and they automatically doubled.  The internet printable ones she hand entered and told me that they were not allowed to double any DO NOT DOUBLE coupons.  Needless to say, I did not save anywhere near the amount I should have and was frustrated all together!  We are so fortunate here in Grand Junction that our City Market and Safeway always double.  I have yet to run into this problem there and hope that it does not come up.  Be sure to keep an eye out for this situation and try and structure your coupons so that they will benefit you in the long run.

SAFEWAY

I have seen a lot of hype today in regards to changes that Safeway is making to their coupon policy.  I have NOT been able to verify any of this information and have yet to see an update policy, BUT I do think that we need to be prepared for the changes.  Thanks KCL for the heads up… here are the highlights:

• Safeway will no longer allow you to stack an eCoupon with a manufacturer coupon!!! (UGH!!!  This one hit me HARD!!)
• There is a new eCoupon Program that Safeway has made available that is supposed to have some wonderful deals.  (I have yet to sign up for this and am curious to hear if you have.)
• Safeway will accept manufacturer coupons with another store’s logo on it.  It sounds like this is the same “teaser” that they gave up a few months ago that essentially allowed us to use ANY CATS (including RRs from Walgreens) at their store.  (I am a little skeptical if this is for real or not)

KCL has a great write up on this!  Visit their page for greater details!

Quaker Deal + More at Albertsons!!!
