Does Bloom allow you to use two coupons on a BOGO item?
Checking on this

I have used 2 Q's on a BOGO successfully at Bloom. Like Food Lion, their BOGO rings up at 1/2 price. So you actually only have to buy one of the item.

Does Bloom have catalinas?
No


When shopping at Bloom on Saturday, I did get a catalina. This is a new store so maybe they are going to have catalina machines now.

Does Bloom accept competitor coupons?
Not getting much help on this from Corp so ask your store manager.The bloom store in Greer, SC will not accept competitor coupons.

Does Bloom have store coupons?
No
On rare occasions, bloom will have a coupon printed on the circular. Twice I received through the mail special bloom coupons for four weeks. Those were awesome, but I don't know what triggered the mailing. We do have a Breeze rewards card. Usually when you receive a Breeze rebate coupon, there will be a couple of other coupons in the mailing.

[amorantin]

Guess the FAQ needs to be updated...

Bloom is tripling coupons up to 99 cents Sept 12-14, 2008.

Bloom has a new "store/club" card called the Breeze Card and it is required for the triple coupons and according to the flyer for sales that start Sept 10, it is required for sale prices listed in the flyer.

[smithes2000]

Does Bloom give overages on sale items with coupons?

[terinacullen]

I called our local store and they said they would give overage.

[liqidimond]

I am new to coupon usage so sorry for the stupid question. Bloom is doing triple coupons this week. I just printed a bunch of online coupons but when some printed out they say on the coupon, "DO NOT DOUBLE OR TRIPLE".

Does this mean Bloom will follow the manufacterer's directions? Or is the "doubling and tripling" a Bloom thing and has nothing to do with the manufacterer?

[Kelly Long]

Does anyone know if there is any rhyme or reason as to when Bloom does the triple coupons? Or is it just sporadically? I would like to know the week before if it falls on a certain week, I would like to know that. Anyone here know? Thanks!!

[jen523]

I heard they would be doing it once a month. It was just last weekend, and before that it was exactly four weekends before that? So i figure towards the begining of Jan!

[pj.jackson]

I have heard that it happens every four week. I know they just had one Dec. 5-7 at a new store near us so I am wating to see if it will happen on Jan. 2-4

my experience with the last triples was that all my qs that said DND but started with a 5 did triple. coupons saying DND starting with a 9, did not triple.

[Kelly Long]

Where do you live, they are not tripling this week in upstate sc

my experience with the last triples was that all my qs that said DND but started with a 5 did triple. coupons saying DND starting with a 9, did not triple.

[ahhsew]

Blooms tripled in upstate SC the first weekend in December. My Blooms will triple coupons that say do not double or triple regardless of what number it starts with:BigHand:

[becca593]

I'm in Charlotte.... My Bloom prints cats and will take $ off coupons from competitors.
I know on Triple days there is a 20 limit on how many coupons you can use, but have never had an issue with more than that on any other day.

[mcscheatzle]

I think the FAQs needs updating....

[becca593]

I just called Corp. "Darren" says you can do as many Transactions a day as you want, even during TRIPLES!!!!!!!! WOOOOOOOO WHOOOOOO!!!!!:BigHand::BigHand::giggle2:

[becca593]

HaHa... me too!!!!! I called a friend like person that works at the one I always go to and told her what he said, she was Happy and said she would tell her mang. so he could inform all the cashiers. So we'll see what happens!

Do they do this manually with the ones that start with a 9?

[sehrwunderbar]

Does BLOOM take the FLIPs?

[sehrwunderbar]

Also, don't see any information on here about bottom dollar, but they also sell Food Lion stuff so do they take FLIPs?

[ryansmommie]

Does BLOOM take the FLIPs?

The stores in my area do not.

I wrote corporate to ask how they would handle a BOGO man. coupon with a BOGO sale. Long story short - you can get two free products. Below is their response:

March 02, 2011


Mrs. Xxxx Xxxxxxxx
12345 Blank St.
Blankville, VA 00000



Dear Mrs. Xxxxxxxx:


Thank you for your recent email. We sincerely appreciate you contacting us.


You are correct in stating that you will only pay the tax on an item that is promoted at buy one get one free and you also have a coupon for buy one get one free. Additionally, if you have a coupon for a free item at $1.99 and the item cost $1.50, then we will not be able to accept that coupon. I hope that this information is helpful.

Again, Mrs. Xxxxxx, thank you for taking the time to contact us. If I may be of further assistance, please do not hesitate to let me know.

You may already be aware of this. But in Upstate SC, Bloom doubles up to $0.99. The FAQ states doubles up to $0.50.

I just uploaded some coupons from the website to my card, can i use manufacturer coupons along with the ones from the card? Is this like the eVic ones?

[Paintbrush]

Newbie question: What do you mean uploaded to your card? Does that mean we can find edeals/eQ's and load them to our Breeze card account or something? And then use them at the register?

[ryansmommie]

Here's the link to the ecoupons.

I am new to Bloom having just moved to NoVA last month. When they have a promo that states, "spend $50 and get free" this or that, is that the price before or after coupons? before or after the Bloom card?

TIA.

[malonb]

what happened to all the help? i'd like to get the answers to some of these questions...(i'm also a newbie at coupons btw).

[hrborn]

Welcome to couponing and HCW!

I am new to Bloom, but not new to couponing. I also have a lot of questions about Bloom, but there is a lot more to learn when you are new to both a store and couponing in general.

I encourage you to ask your questions at the customer service desk or call 1-866-55-BLOOM with your questions and then post the answers you get here. There is no mod for this board right now, but even where there is, HCW is a community that helps each other find answers. I find that this forum is a lot less active than, say, the CVS forum, but if just a few of us make an effort at posting, then more people will get active.

As for the question I asked earlier, I did get an answer at the CS desk, but I haven't tried it yet so I didn't want to post an answer.

Bloom is a lot of fun--especially with Super Doubles!

Does anyone have a link for checking prices at Bloom online? Like HT has Express Lane? I had a link for the Charlotte store: https://shop.mywebgrocer.com/whoops.aspx?sid=48276914&sid_guid=542c45fc-de2b-4e03-a49b-774824c50dc4&strid=47183898&wrid=1 (I live in VA, but none was available for my region, so I used the Charlotte one to get an idea), but it does not seem to work anymore :(
TIA!
