Coupon Policies

Please note that each state, each store can differ on store coupon policy, and they can change from week to week. These changes apply to my local stores, please check your own stores to see if they have changed too. I have put this weeks changes in red. Updates as of 3/11/09

I get a lot of questions about coupons, and company policy. So this week I called around, and talked to the Customer Service in each store asking them what their coupon

policy’s are. I must warn you most cashier have no idea what the coupon policy is in their store. It is so important to be informed, and be an educated coupon shopper. Some stores are a little more coupon friendly than others. If you get a crabby cashier that acts like you are robbing the store, for using coupons. Remember the store DOES get paid back for your coupons from the manufacturer. A coupon is just like paying with cash. It just comes from the manufacturer, not you.
