Store Coupon Policies

Have you ever run into an uninformed (or cranky) cashier when you're using coupons? I had the pleasure this past Saturday at Target. Luckily I had my store coupon policy printed out and tucked inside my coupon binder to show the cashier.

If you've ever had any trouble, I recommend doing the same. Print the coupon policies for the stores you frequent, and keep a copy tucked inside your coupon binder. That way you've always got it with you, in case the need arises.

I also recommend knowing these policies. Don't let a cashier push you around or make you feel guilty for using coupons! You are doing nothing wrong! Politely show them your coupon policy or ask for a manager, if necessary, but never escalate an issue just to prove you are right. You can always return/rebuy or come back another day!


Here's a little bit of detail on each of the coupon policies in my neck of the woods, along with links to printable, official copies for those available.

• Target - accepts one MFQ and one TQ per item. Accepts IPQ's.
• Walgreens - accepts one MFQ and one store coupon per item. Accepts IPQ's.
• Rite Aid - accepts one MFQ and one store coupon per item. Accepts IPQ's up to $5.
• Walmart - accepts one MFQ per item. Accepts IPQ's.
• Smith's - accepts one MFQ per item. Accepts IPQ's. Has a $3 scan law in Utah. (If it scans incorrectly and it's over $3, you get a $3 discount. If it's under $3, you get it free.)
• Albertsons - accepts one MFQ and one store coupon per item. Accepts IPQ's. Also has a $3 scan law in Utah.

MFQ - manufacturer's coupon
IPQ - internet printable coupon
TQ - target store coupon

Saturday Walgreens Deals

I ran to Walgreens on Saturday to use up my last $10 RR left over from the Huggies deal. Here is what I got:

Listerine $3
Reach Toothbrush $3
Reach Floss $3
4 Tylenol @ $1
Candy Bracelet $0.10
-$10 RR
-$3/3 Reach MFQ (SS 3/15)

(Plus I got back a $6 RR!)

Not a bad run! Now I just need to find something great to use my $6 RR on at Walgreens this week!
