Just seeing this....Yes I have used them many times there!!

They will only use 10 other store transactions though....And you can only use one like coupon.....Like if there is a Fred Meyer Tillamook cheese for $4.99 you can only use one per transaction.

Thanks for answering my question.

Does anyone know if Albie's accepts Saar's coupons? They have great coupons for produce every week and sometimes have clippable coupons for name brand products as well.

I have used Saars coupons every week without a problem at my Port Angeles, WA Albies. that being said, recently my albies has lowered their prices to match ( or come within a penny of) the price of the products that Saars coupons offer.

Also- I haven't yet shopped at Albies since the "announcement" that they will stop taking competitors coupons.

Albies took my black and white q's no problem. I don't print in color- not worth the $$$!

Here is an updated coupon policy - HTH

Here is some information on Albertsons coupon acceptance policy in the Intermountain West division. This is the information we are provided at the customer interaction center for the coupon acceptance policy. Please note that we cannot enforce individual stores to follow these policies as policies vary by store. Coupons issued by the manufacturer containing: “terms of agreement”, face value, expiration date, and verbiage “manufacturer coupon.” They have handling instructions printed on them. Most manufacturer coupons have barcodes on them and can be scanned. Any coupons that do not scan or do not have barcodes should be checked for validity of expiration date and purchase requirements. Albertsons may issue coupons that are manufacturer coupons that contain the words “redeemable only at Albertsons.” Company’s discount offers in various forms of media including, but not limited to, print, electronic, newspaper, direct mailers, kiosks and Company websites. Store coupons may also contain the words “redeemable only at Albertsons” (or a banner of Albertsons). Store coupons may state that the discount applies only with Preferred Card/Super Card/Loyalty Card. When redeeming a store coupon the terms printed on the coupon must be adhered to. A customer can use a manufacture coupon in conjunction with a store coupon on the same item, if it takes it below the stated retail value we DO NOT give money back. We adjust the coupon. For example a customer has a $1 off mayo coupon with one of our own $1 off coupons but the jar of mayo is only for $1.98. We would take off the manufacture coupon for a dollar then adjust the store coupon to 98 cents. Thus making it free for the customer but not giving money back. Catalina Checkout Coupons/Rebates: Catalina is a third party vendor that partners with vendors and Albertsons to offer both manufacturer coupons and Albertsons in-store coupons. The coupons are triggered by purchasing qualified items at checkout which generate a coupon to print on the Catalina printer. It is Albertsons' policy that these coupons are to be used in a future purchase, not within the purchase in which they are generated. Catalina coupons can only be given to the customer for whom they were intended (not to any other customer or associate). If a customer does not want their Catalina coupons, it is Albertsons' policy that the cashier destroys them immediately. Catalina may be contacted at 1-888-826-8766 for any questions about redemption and\or if a coupon fails to print within a transaction. We will NOT accept competitor Catalina coupons. Coupons printed from an internet website presented for redemption with a qualifying purchase. Albertsons DOES NOT accept internet coupons containing the following conditions: a. ‘Free’ product offers that do not require a purchase b. Redemption value exceeding $5.00 c. Absence of UPC bar code d. Photocopied internet coupons. Most internet sites will print a time and date stamp on the coupons, and limit each ISP address to two coupons total. If multiple coupons have the same time and date stamp this could be an indicator the coupon was photocopied, and should not be accepted. In order to provide better values for our customers and to continue to deliver the best pricing possible in our weekly ads, we will discontinue the acceptance of competitor’s coupons. Albertsons is the last retail grocer in most of our operating areas to discontinue this practice. Our goal is to insure that our customers always have a pleasant shopping experience, so we have decided to take a strategic approach and eliminate these coupons and offer our customers some new promotions in their place. No double coupons, triple coupons, or advertisement matches are allowed. Thank you for your inquiry. If you have an further questions feel free to contact us by email or at 1-877-932-7948. Sincerely, Kelsey K. Albertsons Corporate Customer Care

Does Albertson's have a written policy on B1G1F and using two coupons? All of a sudden my Albertsons says they won't accept two coupons when one item is free already. Hmmm...did this change?

[Benichole]

I buy stuff at my Albertson's all the time. a coupon for the item you are buying and a coupon for the free item. Once in a while someone says something and I break it down and explain it and they take it. Every manager has approved it.

I have never seen it in their policy it is just explained through the coupons,

[Benichole]

Okay, we were shopping in the store and a question came up about the do not double coupons.

Two Albertsons in Portland, Or area say they will double all coupons including coupons that say do not double.

We asked our store in Oregon City. We are real good friends with the manager. My friend asked her why they do not double coupons that say do not double. The reason being that they (Albertsons) take the loss for doubling so why can't they just double all coupons. My friend told the manager that we often go to the two other stores that double (do not double) coupons.

She(the manager) called corporate and asked. They told her that Albertson's doubles all coupons including do not double ones. They also said that they are changing their policy and will be doubling all coupons over a dollar up to a dollar.

So check with your Albertson's because all 3 that I go to now double all coupons and double coupons over a dollar.

They have promised that in OC before to me so don't get your hopes up yet
