Food Lion ~ Question: Coupons have Food Lion logo and say Manufactuer-can I use anywhere?

[janeta]

I found a few of those Kraft Foods booklets in my local Food Lion store.
It has about $4 in good coupons.

The coupons say Manufacturer's coupon, barcode and expire date.
But in the middle there is the little Food Lion logo.

I don't see anywhere where it says - must use at Food Lion....

What has your experience been? Can I use it at Giant, Safeway, Walmart etc??

Thanks
Janet

I have used coupons like that at other stores with no problem. If someone asks, just point out that it is a manufacturer's coupon and does not say "only at". However, it is generally up to the store whether they will take them and usually the corporate office will back up the store manager if he or she refuses to take them.

So, long answer short - maybe. LOL

I have used Publix printables at Hy Vee and WalMart and we dont even have a Publix anywhere near here!! But its your mileage may vary.

This is definitely a YMMV. I can use them fine at some stores, but others flatly refuse. I can even get different answers at the same store depending on who is checking me out. Long story short....try it, but have a back up plan just in case.

Hi! I know that Harris Teeter will take them. Even with the foodlion logo on it. They also will take kroger. Got lucky when they had the cheese deal going on at HT cause I had some kraft cheese q's from kroger that doubled!!

And just like jrobertson911 said always have a back up plan just in case!!

I would say "maybe" at Giant and Safeway, and "not a chance in Hades" at Walmart.

thanks so much for all the advice. When I get dug out from all this snow - will let you know if I was able to use them

100% true..........
I do know HT takes CVS coupons.
At Bloom I was told they had some arrangement with HT that they will accept each other's coupons if the stores are close to each other.
I've never been able to use Food Lion coupons anywhere but Food Lion.
I've got some now for Vaseline Lotion. That is an item that could turn up for sale at a pharmacy.

Walmart will take them. I used the capri sun at food lion and got them for $1. There are also $2.50 coupons on the 5 pk mac and cheese for the nabisco snack packs and you can use the $1 off for the mac and cheese and get the mac and cheese and snack pack for 3.50 with both of those coupons.

I had a coupon like that except had the Target logo, but manu coupon, etc., and did not say must use at Target. The checker at Walmart would not take it and even "proved" it to me by keying some sequence and telling me the register would not allow it. It was my first time using that type of coupon and I didn't push but next time I will talk to the manager before giving up.
