I was wondering about Giant Eagle. I’ve heard they don’t, but does anyone know of anything?

Thanks for this great resource! It always helps to being a store’s coupon policy, just in case they get weird about using too many or whatever. I actually had a cashier at Walmart (an older lady) tell me they didn’t take copies of coupons. But, it wasn’t a copy…it was printed out! So then she called the manager who told her the area behind the amount should be in color or it wasn’t valid. Um… I have a monochrome (black & white) printer?! HAHA! They did take the coupon, but acted like I was doing something wrong. Sheesh.

Yesterday I went to Publix to get some Silk soy milk. I had a .75 off coupon that I had printed from Silk.com. The cashier would not accept it. I told her they were accepted before, and she said not anymore and handed me a copy of their coupon policy. I wasn’t able to read it until I got home. The policy stated they accepted valid internet coupons. I wished I had read the policy before I left the store, so I could ask , what constituted a valid internet coupon? I still plan to ask with my now expired coupon. Your research stated Publix does not accept printed internet coupons and the policy I got yesterday says it does. My head is spinning. I would expect a coupon printed from a product’s website would be valid.

I would love to have one simple rule for coupons in all stores, nationwide, ahh. Oh well. I just have to worry about Raley’s, Safeway, Riteaid, and CVS at the moment, now can we use coupons (not just coupon codes) when ordering online from say CVS?

Jenny, typically you shouldn’t be forced to print coupons in color. Black and white should work just fine at most retailers.

Leta, looks like had their link broken. I tracked down a copy of the letter and uploaded it though!

I carry coupon policies in my purse with me when I shop, as to not have any confusion. I got them directly from the stores websites. Walgreens does not have an actual printed policy altho I called corporate and now know what it is due to a refusal of a coupon I tried to use. After then talking to corporate, the actual store called me within a couple days. I reassured them, I wasn’t trying to get anyone into trouble, just making sure I knew the policy due to the fact That an employee refused a coupon and I wanted to know before I made too big of a deal out of it!

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:)
