Hello! Moving to Lakeview, AL this Friday and looking to get into this FoodWorld thing (exit 1, McCalla)... Looks like I've already got a coupon buddy or two I saw mention McCalla out there! Awesome!

Is this a fairly regular event? I won't be able to make my first shopping trip there until Sunday... Do they run triples once a month or something? That would be totally awesome! Thanks very much for any tips/pointers/advice anyone can offer- I'm typically a Target shopper in Tuscaloosa. Thanks!!!

Hi, this triple thing is new to us. Food-World/Brunos has just started having triples about a month ago. We don't know ahead of time. So far the have had them last saturday and the 3 out of the last 4 Sundays. They skipped Easter.

Don't know how long the triples will last since the stores are in the process of being sold or bankrupted/closed down. So enjoy them while you can!

And the tripling (perhaps I skipped this on page 1... Sorry!)- what are the rules- number of like coupons, number of coupons per transaction, max. value ($) they will double, etc.? Thank You!

I have not been limited at all. Now that said the ad states see store for details. The stores I shop do not know the details. I shopped this past sat. and the cashier said when he started scanning the qs...is this that "coupon thang"?? I said yea, the ad says triple qs up to .55. So depending on your store you may be told otherwise.

The rules on doubling coupons at food - world has been to only double 10 like coupons. Some stores will manually override it at the register. Some stores will ask you to go to cs for a refund.
I stick to the 10 rule, just less hassle for me.
Also the bonus card will scan 3 times before it says limit.
So, I do 3 orders back to back for each card.

Last year we had some pilsbury brownie coupons and a tmf offer. So lots of us were buying them like crazy. The register would not scan our bonus cards or scan the actual coupons after 10 q's were scanned, so we started doing separate orders and the limit popped up.
It messed the registers up too. Locked them down at htown. I have not tried to do more than 10 coupons since. I have tried to do more than 3 orders and it just beeps and says something like not allowed or something similar.


I have assumed the rules are the same for triples. Anyone I have asked in the store didn't even know about the triples to begin with. LOL

Bruno's doesn't require a card so no limits unless the manager gives one.

mccook, does the new ad say anything about hormel chili, dinty moore, texas toast crutons, or flipz?
Those are what I am thinking about ordering more q's for.
Thanks!

[mccook]

No on the ad stating anything about hormel chili, dinty moore, texas toast crutons, or flipz. I did not see these items on sale last week and all were close to free at regular price. The Flipz in my store were on a separate display with the 2/$3 pricing. I am planning a trip tomorrow to see what these items are without sales and to see if the Flipz have signage of a change in price. I am also going to be on the lookout for other items for sat. As soon as I am back, I will post my findings. Tomorrow will tell if a trip this sat. is worth it and whether or not I am ordering qs

[mccook]

O yea...I am price checking the breyers icecream b/c of the recent .75 q (it is BOGO). We love this stuff even without the q tripling....I am loving the triples but would love a place to triple up to .99! (I read about Bloom and Harris Teeter triples up to .99 on this site) I guess we should be glad for what we have now.
