Adding coupons to the coupon database correctly

[cody82414]

PLEASE add your coupon finds to the database.

Everyone can and should do it

I have been getting coupons out of the machine in the lobby of Food Lion when you scan your card. A lot of the coupons are FL store coupons and expire the day you print them, but the other half are coupons that look like IPs from coupons.com and have various expiration dates. I am trying to put them into the database but I'm not quite sure how to do that. Some of them have matching IPs and then I just put it as one of those but some don't and I don't know what kind of coupon they would apply as since I didn't print them from my computer. Ideas?

tori729 I would list them as "other" for the source. b/c if you list them as printable, it asks for the IP link. if they are store specific make sure to note that. If they are regular mfr coupons note that as well. After the coupon description something like (maufacturer OR store coupon printed @ food lion kiosk with/without FL logo) put the exp that printed on yours and any other fine print in the description box

Great, thanks!

In Coupon Database the first page of coupons seems to load. I cannot select any other pages or select items like "printable". I seem to be stuck. Is something broken?

EVERYone is responsible for updating the database.

If you are fotunate to receive a new coupon
please take a few minutes to enter it!!

anyone having issues entering in the DB? When I enter and choose the category, it doesn't seem to save the category.

I entered (2) Publix coupons tonight (Alexia and Peter Pan PB) and selected frozen as the category for Alexia and canned/jarred/food for the PB. Now when I look in the DB the category field is blank.

Mine do that too. It seems like they get entered in later, but I'm not sure why...

disabled & tori ~ that has been happening since the server crash several months ago. It is a known problem. The coupon database editors have the ability to add categories another way and we try to get in there and do that as new coupons are added!
