Food Lion ~ Other: Food Lion: Coupon Machine......

[YouPdWhat]

Being installed at Food Lions. Anyone hear about this? I have no idea as to locations or any other details. This is the info given to me.

• Unknown if replacing FLIP'S
• Scan MVP card & it will print out coupons
• Coupons different each day

I haven't heard about it, but it'd be nice if they had them like CVS does.

Hmmmmm... sounds interesting.

wonder if that would be like what Ukrop's has in stores now? Can only print once a day at only 1 store as card is scanned when coupons are printed and coupons are only good that day. If are eliminating flips is probably NOT a good deal. Certainly did not help Ukrop's as are being converted to Martin's now.

My co-worker did this at lunch time. The machine was at the Pitts School Rd/Hwy 29 store in Concord, NC. They were good for only that day except for the mfg coupon. They look a lot like the FLIPs. Here's what she got:

Mfg Coupon - $.55/2 Pillsbury Toaster Struedel x6/30/10
POS Coupon - .50/1 Ronzoni Pasta Blue Box
POS Coupon - $1.00/1 on Kreaft Shreded, Cubes, or Crumble Cheese
POS Coupon - $2.00/1 Hefty Tall Kitchen Garbage Bags
POS Coupon - B1G1 Starkist Sanwich-Ready Tuna Salad
Retailer Coupon - $1/$10 Butcher's Brand Beef
Retailer Coupon - .75/2 Food Lion Brand Potato Chips, Pretzels, or Corn Snacks
Retailer Coupon - $3/60 at Food Lion

The POS coupons do have barcodes just like a mfg coupon.

Haven't seen these yet in my area of NC..but the store q's being good for one day only is a big turn-off for me.

POS meaning piece of sh*t coupon right? a coupon being good for one day only is a joke. they are really wanting to reel in the suckers that impulse buy.

they're not going to fool me, oh no!

[ryansmommie]

Yes. They are definitely trying to encourage impulse purchases.

Wow...one day only huh?? That would be a worthless piece of crap. No way I'm gonna get suckered into impulse buying like that...what a waste of time, paper and resources. Without being able to know what coupons I am shopping with, I wouldn't even be in the store anyway since you can't do match-up's on fictional or unknown coupons!!

These coupons are generally worthless at Food Lion but sometimes you get fresh meat coupons and $/$$ coupons on your shopping trip. I often use them at Publix on the same day as I spend more there than at Food Lion. It is supposed to be tied to your shopping habits but it frequently gives me diaper and beer coupons and I never buy those items. Look through the ones that other shoppers dircard at the machine as you may want some on another sheet. They are not all the same. We've had these for about 6 months and I thought they were everywhere, I guess we were a test market.
