This is awesome! I can’t believe you did all this. It’s crazy! I don’t print online coupons because I worry about downloading the coupon things you need to print them out. Plus, ink is so expensive. I dont have any and haven’t for forever. I need a coupon for ink so I can print more coupons. i still appreciate what you did though. And what everyone does on here. I have gotten a ton of stuff from this site. A lot more than other sites. And I know I can always trust things off this site. This site is the best and I have referred a lot of people to this site. Actually I just referred two people here about an hour ago.

Yes, individual store coupon policies can be frustrating.

However, I cracked the code for getting a free Elizabeth Haub Foundation (EHF) reusable shopping bag.

Just log on to any of the A&P webpages, such as http://www.apfreshonline.com
http://www.waldbaums.com
http://www.superfreshfood.com

Then click on the Redtag online savings Zaver’s link, register with Zavers, and then load up your Bonus Savings Club card by clicking on the free EHF bag image.

This offer expires 10/15/09, so hurry!!

I have had some problems in the past with Walmart but evidently some people complained and now they will accept internet’s as long as they will scan. If they will not scan they will not key them in. And so far the only other place I have had problems with internet’s is RiteAid. They absolutely will not accept any. It has been a while since I have been in there to try so they might have changed now but really did not like the attitude of the cashier anyway. We have a Walgreens and CVS so it was not a big loss to not shop there. I have a target about 15 mins away and no problem, a Harris Teeter right down the road from there and no problem. CVS, Walgreens, Foodlion, Bilo here in town no problem. I am in Statesville, NC.

Target finally has their coupon policy on their website, if anybody wants to print it off and take it in with them. http://www.target.com/b/ref=br_bx_4/192-9168409-2594745?ie=UTF8&node=2223357011

I work a cash office for a walmart, if your store refuses your printed out coupon. Call 1-800-WALMART and complain, get anyone else you know to complain to.
It is AGAINST our cooperate policy to not take these coupons, as there are easy ways to tell real ones vs fakes ones.

Today I went to Ralphs in Glendale, CA and was told they no longer accept internet coupons at all and haven’t for over a month. (I’ve used them numerous times at Ralphs in the past month, mind you.) However, when I got home and checked their website it states unequivocally that they DO accept coupons, and on their home page is a list of coupons to print. I’m completely baffled. But from now will take a print out of their coupon policy from their website with me whenever I shop.

Thanks for all the comments, folks! I’d love to respond to each of them individually, but that would lead to the world’s biggest comment thread which would inevitably devour the Internet.

As for all the suggestions for other store policies to hunt down, I’m all ears. My research for the next post will start tomorrow and should hopefully be ready shortly.

@Ricka – No, unfortunately most of the printed coupons are going to say do not double or triple. It’s up to blind luck as to whether or not the cashier notices.

@mrs turtle – I do the exact same thing (go to the lines with the young people who don’t pay attention). Even better is if you only have a few items and don’t mind checking yourself out at one of the individual registers. Looks like @Jennifer does this as well!

@Sandy – With sites like Cellfire, it’s only a matter of time before the majority of coupons are available via cell phones. Personally, I can’t wait.

@Joe – I lol’d

My local KMART store accepts ALL coupons – free items, B1G1 free, any dollar amount, internet, etc. I’ve never had any problem so it may be like Walgreens and up to the store manager. I have had a couple problems at WalMart although not recently. I carry their coupon policy with me and if there’s a problem I will wait until they call corporate headquarters to get it settled. I do have that # but can’t seem to find it right now but will post when I find it. Also at Walgreens I’ve had the most succes after the order is rung up to give them my register rewards first, then the manf coupons, and finally their store coupons. Since I’ve been doing it this way the register has not beeped once:)

Lisa..
Keep calling corporate. When you contact them again, ask them to mail you an official copy of their coupon policy.
If you still don’t have any luck, then get nasty. Unless they have it stipuated in their policy that it is up to each store’s discretion as far as altering the policy then you are completely in the right here.
I have done some “horrible” things to get retailers to honor their policies, and my coupons. I have called local papers, I have emailed and or called corporate offices as often as every single day until the issue was resolved.
Good Luck! But don’t give up!! Eventually you will win, and coupon victory is soo sweet! lol

My biggest coupon problem is with my local Target store. They continue to refuse to take a manufacture and a store coupon for a single item. I even went home and printed out the store policy and showed the person at the customer service desk the company policy and she still still refused to refused to accept the coupons. I even called corparate on the store and the store still continues to not honor their policy. Does any one have any idea what I should do next.

Thanks so much Goob & whatever or whoever inspired you to do all this work.

I live in central FL & haven’t yet had problems w/internet coupons, even tho I’m cheap & print them in B/W. I shop mostly at Publix, Albertson’s, CVS, KMart (on double coupone weeks) & BJ’s Club which will take mfg coupons but won’t let you piggyback with their own they issue regularly. I find at most stores, if it won’t scan, the cashier will just key it in.

I hate WalMart on so many levels I haven’t tried any printables there as I avoid the place like the plague, so I can’t comment on them.

Boy, I hope you’re getting perks for all your work.

Meijer Stores that double coupons limit you to only 2 doubles for the same item. That stinks!
