Coupon Policies

The wonderful group at heyitsfree.com posted this link about store coupon policies. It is always a good idea to know your favorite stores policy. I have added a section to my coupon notebook with printed copies of these policies. I find it is easier to pull out the paperwork and show it to the cashier at times than argue with them.

Kmart – Kmart does accept secure print-at-home coupons. Effective March 1, 2009, Kmart will accept industry-standard, secure print-at-home coupons. If the coupon dos (sic) not scan properly it cannot be accepted. Kmart will not accept coupons for more than about 75% of a product’s value. Kmart will not accept “FREE product” (no purchase required) print-at-home coupons.

Kroger – Effective November 2007, all Kroger divisions accept industry-standard, secure print-at-home coupons. And for the record, Kroger is the parent company for many other supermarkets, like Ralphs, Fry’s, and another dozen or so. Scroll down a bit on the previous page to see a collection of the logos of all their subsidiaries.

Rite Aid –One internet coupon can be used per item; however, there is a $5.00 limit on each internet coupon. Similar to manufacturer’s coupons, only one internet coupon is accepted for each item, unless coupled with a manufacturer’s or valuable coupon found in a Rite Aid circular.

Safeway – “We can only accept Printable Coupons if they scan properly at the register.” It’s worth pointing out that while they accept BOGO coupons, they do not accept straight up “free” coupons. These are for free coupons printed off of the internet
