So the Onalaska location will take instant print coupons? The Festival Foods in Mauston refuses to take them

How can they not take IPs when they let you print them on their site? I would ask to talk to the store manager. They have never had a problem here. Ask them if they really want to have you come back...boomerang theory and all.

I emailed in a complaint because they advertise online printing on the back of their receipts! Made me mad when I saw that after they said I couldn't use a printed coupon. Anyway their response was the following:
I am sorry for the inconvenience. We were not aware that there was an online
coupon advertisement on the back of the receipt tape. The company that we
get our tapes from sell the advertisement spots to companies they choose, we
have no connection to it. I will call the company and inform them of the
complaint. I am sorry we can not accept internet coupons, the theft and
counterfeit coupon problem is too great. Thank You for shopping with us and
we appreciate you informing us of this issue.

But if you go to festfoods.com, you can print out coupons!? So Sorry you have to deal with that.

Does yours have a new instore coupon machine? I love ours. It is considered instore coupons, so you can combine them with manu coupons. i got cereal yesterday for 50 cents a box!! Maybe you need to come up here =)

Oh thanks! I was wondering if you could use a manufacturers coupon along with those in store coupons. I though you would be able to. Any beeps using both of them? Cashiers know you can use both of them?

Hi - No I haven't seen a coupon machine. Where is the one located in the Onalaska store??? I do shop in Onalaska/LaX about once a month or so. So the Onalaska store will take printed coupons even from off their website? Thanks

I usually shop at the La Crosse Festival, but haven't been there in the last few months. I was away this past week and my kids and my mom went there. When I got back my kids are showing me these coupons. I asked them where they got them, they said the coupon machine at Festival. They thought it was so funny that they had found this before me... Now I have to go and check it out. They used some of them also, so I am teaching them well.

I have a festival food. Its not my favorite place but it is where I shop the most. I live in a small area of Wisconsin. They have a decent meat counter but I don't get that great of deals from it. I was hoping that this place could help.

I usually shop at the Festival Foods in New London, WI, but have also used the Appleton one.
I like that I can buy some organic and natural foods at Festival that are not available in other stores.
What I don't like is that not all stores seem to carry the deals advertised in the flyers. In fact New London rarely does! (I guess that's why most of my shopping goes to Wal-mart)
