Does anyone have a Whole Foods coupon policy? I did a search online and only found one posted in 2009. I recently discovered WF offers store coupons. many of which are stackable with manu Qs, if allowed. TIA!

Hi Jill!

I was wondering if maybe it would be helpful to include a "Last Updated" or "As of" date per store in your list so that it's easy to see at-a-glance if a policy has changed recently? I know I don't always have time to keep up with the forums/emails where perhaps you may mention that something has been updated to know the date. What I was envisioning was your list looking something like:

As of m/d/yy: [Jewel-Osco link]
As of m/d/yy: [Dominick's link]
As of m/d/yy: [Meijer link]
...etc.

If you think that it would be helpful for your readers also, I'd love to see that info on this page.

Thanks!

I know Lowes will use any coupon from any of its direct competitors and will match it. This is particularly useful for like gardening/lawncare!

I bought 6 hot pockets today. Tried to use a Ws 2/$3 in the weekly flyer, $1/2 Ws coupon from the Aug savings book and $1/3 manufacture c from the sunday paper. I thought you could stack all those but the manager said only one Ws coupon - not both.

I does say on the $1/2 not valid with any other offer but on Wild for Wags, people posted that all coupons went through for them. Any comments??

Has anyone used the Walgreens Register Rewards at Walmart like we can at Jewel? The cashier at Walgreens told me a customer had used the Walgreens Rewards at Walmart, but when I read through the Walmart Coupon Policy it doesn't seem to me you could use them.

You experts probably already know this but I found out today that Wisted's does not accept any coupons from the internet. Darn! Had good ones for their cereal sale. FYI

I'm new to couponing but have read tons of comments and blogs about so that I would feel knowledgeable going into the store but am still confused on certain things.

Today I went into Walgreen's and they had BOGO Oscar Mayer Hot Dogs. I had two coupons that stated $1/2. What is the least number of packages I would have to buy in order to use both coupons?

I tried to use two $1/2 coupons on two products (the BOGO) but the cashier said that I couldn't because the discount was applied to the purchase of two. I ended up buying 4...

I live in the Joliet area and these stores are in my area do any of them double??

Jewel
Dominicks
Strack and Vann
Food4less
Ultra Foods
Walmart

I read the policies u have listed so I know Jewel and Walmart do not.....but Food4less is a Kroger Store

Can anyone clarify what the correct procedjure is fr an item on sale for lets say 2.99 and then using a coupon for say 3.00? I feel if the company is going to be reimbursed the full value of the coupon they should legally pass that savings on to me, however Walgreens has been esp difficult to me lately and it is like I am pulling teeth every time. I did look up Walgreens coupon policy as well as CVS and other stores they all seem to say the same thing, that if the coupon is for say 3.00 and the item only 2.99 you can only get 2.99 off. OK so I attempted to explain this to the cashier who then told me no you can't alter the price of a coupon (ok that was my 1st thought but the policy told me otherwise!!) so she was like you just have to pay for it and can't use the coupon??? FYI I did buy a candy bar to cover the overage so there should have been no balking about me getting money back or not paying tax etc...

So what is the answer??

Please clarify this. Coupons.com has coupons that say "available at" Walmart, Walgreens, etc., and when I called coupons.com - which led me to Unilever - they told me the coupon can only be used at the store listed on the coupon, but now discussion on pages has led to the perception that it's a manufacturer's Q, and can be used anywhere (which is the exact opposite of what Unilever told me when I called them with this question.) Which way is right? The coupon in question this time is the Rimmel on coupons.com that say "available at Walgreens", and which bloggers are suggesting ppl use at Target to get a better deal. I called coupons.com when the coupon said "available at Walmart" and they said it is only good for Walmart, so I am guessing it's the same for all the Q's that say "available at...." ? I don't want to walk into Target and use a coupon that clearly says "available at Walgreens", especially where Target does not take competitors' coupons. But is this coupon a competitors' coupon because it says use at a particular store, or is it actually a manufacturer's Q and can be used at any store regardless of the wording? And if it can be used anywhere, how am I going to get around arguing with a Target employee that even tho the coupon says 'available at Walgreens', I'm allowed to use it at Target?

I tried to use a Catalina I received from Jewel at Walgreens today and was told they do not accept them. I pointed out that it is a manufacturer's coupon but the manager said they won't take it because it says Jewel on it. Is this common practice at Wags? I've used the same Catalinas at Target and haven't had any problems.

updated current coupon policy for Wag's!!

total props go to mashupmom where I found this link:

YAY! they put it in writing!!

:o)

Need some guidance. If I purchase a razor and a can of shaving creme is it appropriate to use 2 coupons? I have a coupon for $3 off the razor and another coupon for free shaving creme if I buy the razor. Would CVS accept both coupons on this transaction? I'm new at this and don't want to miss an opportunity but I don't want to try to attempt an inappropriate sale.

Thanks!

I am just wondering if anyone else has had this problem. This was a first for me. I went to the Hilander in Roscoe,IL and when I presented my internet coupons I was told that none of them could be doubled (as the Hilander policy says they will double coupons $0.55 and under) I was told by a manager that because the coupons say "Do not double or triple" on the top (which almost all internet coupons do) that they were not included in their policy to double. She said the store would not get paid for those if they double them.(Do they get paid double for any of the coupons that they "choose" to double?) I have shopped at all the Hilander stores in Rockford and have never had a problem. When I told her this she said that she was going to have to call the other Hilander stores and tell them that someone is doubling the internet coupons and they shouldn't be. I have read the policy and it does not say that the store will not double internet coupons. Am I right or is she?

I was at the Wal-Mart in E. Dundee and wanted to use the $2 off 2 American Greetings cards cpn. It has the Jewel logo on the back, but says manufacturer's coupon on the front. The cashier looked at it, and took it to the manager who said they would not take it. Needless to say, I had them refund the cards and I geuss I will use the cpn at Jewel.

I emailed them, and this is what they had to say:

Hi Robin

Our coupons policy is we take vendor coupons 30 days after expired date and we also take our in ad coupons but we do not do double coupons. I hope this is the information that you were looking for and if not call me @ 1-815-439-8834 and ask for Al Cox.

THANKS
Al Cox

The sign on the door is gone about not accepting internet coupons. Have they changed their policy?? I shop at the one in Carpenterville and love it...

to the header links? I wasn't aware they had a price match policy until recently.

How does price matching work?
If you find an item in a competitor's printed ad that is priced lower than it is at your Target store, we will match the price. The competitor's ad must be local and current, and the product must be the identical item, brand name, quantity and model number. Target.com is excluded from our price matching policy. Competitor catalogs can also be ad matched as long as the catalog displays a valid date and meets all other qualifications.

What if I've already made the purchase at Target?
No problem. Within seven days of purchase, bring your Target receipt and the competitor 's current printed ad. We will reimburse the savings to you.

What qualifies as proof of a competitor's advertisement?
Please show us the entire printed advertisement. Photos, photocopies, or mobile phone versions of the ad cannot be accepted as verification of competitive pricing.

What does 'identical store item' mean?
The program covers items with the identical brand name, size, weight, quantity and model number of the item at Target stores. We reserve the right to verify a competitor's advertised price and the availability of the product.

Can I use coupons when price matching?
A guest can use coupons when price matching per Target's normal coupon policy. When the guests presents a coupon(s), these steps will be followed:

Manufacturer Coupons:
Manufacturer coupons will be applied after the price match is made.

Target Coupons:
Target coupons will be applied before the price match is made. If the competitor price is still lower than the price after the Target coupon has been deducted, the ad match can be adjusted to match the competitor's price.

Combining both a Target and Manufacturer Coupons:
The Target coupon will be applied before the price match is made. If the competitor price is still lower than the price after the Target coupon has been deducted, the ad match can be adjusted to match the competitor's price. Once the price match is made the manufacturer coupon will be applied.

Reminder: We accept one manufacturer coupon and one Target coupon for the same item unless either coupon prohibits it.

Target does not ad match a competitors coupon-required offers.

What do you mean by local retail competitors?
This refers to retail stores located within the same market area as a particular Target store. Examples of a market area can be a city, a metropolitan area or a specific rural region.

What about online price matching?
All online pricing, including Target.com, is excluded from our price matching policy, as well as online retail promotions or products advertised on another company's web or mobile sites.

Other price matching exclusions include:

Online prices, including Target.com
Promotions or products advertised on another company's web or mobile sites, even those advertising in-store prices.
Timed events (e.g., early bird, door busters)
Items advertised as limited time/limited supply/limited quantity
Membership club or loyalty programs (e.g. prices that require a club or loyalty card)
Coupon-required or giftcard offers
Prices advertised only as a percent off or $ off
Competitor's free product, buy one, get one, bundled offers, or special purchases
Mobile coupons
Sales tax promotions
Damaged product or opened packaging
Clearance or closeout items
Mail in offers or instant rebates
Product services (warranties, assembly, etc.)
Going-out-of-business liquidations
Special financing
Used or previously owned items
Display merchandise
Pricing or typographical errors
Owned brands (i.e., Home, Merona, Circo, Market Pantry and Archer Farms)
Non-branded items (e.g. produce not marketed under a specific brand name)
Target Portrait Studio, Optical, and Clinic offers
Expired Ads

can i use my expired jewel cat anywhere else like dominicks?

I recently visited the Target on Army Trail Rd. (Glendale Heights, I think). I was buying 3 items with 3 manufacturers coupons (no stacking, nothing complicated, etc.). I was told by the cashier that I could only use 1 coupon. Then she changed it to 2. Then she had the mgr. come over and she said 1. I gave up and didn't purchase anything. On my way out I stopped at CS (because I had some time to kill anyways) and asked to use the red phone to call Guest Relations.

When I did I was told that it was Target's policy to accept "1 manufacturers coupon and 1 Target coupon per entire transaction". I mentioned that I had used multiples hundreds of times and she maintained the 1 & 1 rule). I asked for clarification, "Do you mean that if I bought 200 items, I couldn't use a MQ for the paper towels and a MQ for the bread?" She continued to state that "No, only 1 MQ and 1 SQ per ENTIRE transaction regardless of how many items I buy" and that it had "always been that way."

I nicely asked to speak with her supervisor and she rudely said, "Fine! But he's just going to tell you the same thing!" Then she put me on hold. After more than 10 minutes on hold I gave up and hung up the phone.

What is up with this? Does anyone's store enforce this one? Why isn't this outlined in their policy?

(side note: When I got home that evening I stopped at my regular store and used all 3 coupons without question!)

Jill, do you have a coupon policy for Meijer? I had some major issues there today with trying to stack a Meijer coupon with a Manufacturer's coupon. I had to ask to speak to the next person higher up 4 times. Finally the store manager okayed it but with the stipulation that I cannot use two coupons per item every again. I kept trying to explain to the women at the customer service desk that the coupon that states "Meijer Discount Coupon" at the top is a Meijer "store" coupon. They kept telling me that it is a "vendor" coupon. I kept saying no it is a "store" coupon because it says "Meijer" which is the name of their store. It put me in a foul mood. I emailed their online customer service asking for their coupon policy but was curious if you had a copy of it. I have never had a problem stacking coupons there ever before. Any insight?
