In light of the launch of TLC’s Extreme Couponing, there have been a TON of store coupon policy changes. So for those of us who are simply trying to put more money in our family’s budget every week by using coupons, I’m breaking down the new policies for you today (10/4) on Talk of the Town.
Watch the video of today’s Talk of the Town show:
In general, most stores still:
*Accept one manufacturer’s coupon & one store coupon per item (except Kroger)
*Reserve the right to limit quantities purchased
*Limit the number of coupons you can print online to two
Most stores will not:
*Accept “free” item internet coupons, or copies of internet coupons (each have individual bar code).
*Let you combine digital/internet with paper coupons
*Give you money back or take more money off than the value of the actual product
Here are some things to keep in mind for each individual store (keep in mind that these apply to the Nashville area – check with your local store to verify their coupon policy):
Kroger Coupon Policy
-policies vary by region, but ours no longer take competitor coupons because of their “already low prices”
-they’re moving to eCoupons – your eCoupon will over-ride the manufacturer’s coupon because the register sees it first.
-Doubles manufacturer’s coupons up to $.50 every day

Publix Coupon Policy
-Does not explicitly limit # of items purchased, but reserves right to.
-Can call ahead if you know you want to make a large purchase and have them order more of a certain product.
-Only competitor coupon they accept is for Kroger.
-Doubles manufacturer’s coupons up to $.50 every day

I’ll be filling this in with individual drugstore policies as well, but just keep in mind the general rules mentioned at the beginning of this post.
