Where is FL going with their coupon policy?

[debnva]

I haven't used coupons at Food Lion in a long time because I have a couple of stores here that have some good double events. But I went in there tonight for a few things and a small stack of coupons from the Wounded Warrior/Smartsource IP.

They have a new corporate policy that states they will only accept one internet printable of the same product. I was trying to use 3 of the $1/1 Orieda Potato coupons to go with the 3/$6 sale. I told them to give me my coupons back and to take the potatos off.

They showed me an email from corporate, but could not give me a copy of it or a copy of an actual coupon policy. They last time I had checked they would accept up to 5 of the same coupon. The AM said that this all came about because someone came in there with free ham coupons and cleaned the store out.

Not sure I've not been in a FL in ages really. I would have took them off the order too though. I know LF and HT have had Ore-Ida sales lately so maybe you can do a deal tommorrow.

I have noticed that as far as printables go it is really store manager specific in regards to whether or not you can use them at all.

Policy still shows the same on their website so if corp has changed it, they haven't posted it on their site. It clearly says no more than 10 of the same coupon.

However, IME, it is up to the store managers to enforce the policy as they see fit, so if you call corporate you're probably going to get that party line.

Sorry you had a bad experience.
