Fry's ~ Question: Question: Does your Fry's let you use more than 3 of the same coupon

[temroy2]

Most of my Fry's shopping is done at one store in South Scottsdale and I had 5 coupons the other day and the cashier doubled all 5 so it doesn't look like they're all enforcing the rule.

I'm really loving this 'every coupon is worth $1.00' thing they're doing right now and it's going to suck when it goes bye-bye. I'm clipping coupons I wouldn't ordinarily because they're worth more right now.

I'm wondering, being they are advertising ALL coupons are worth a $1. maybe thats why we are able to use more than 3 alike and they double-triple etc :shrug7:

You know what? That thought occurred to me, too. Their store policy is only 3 like coupons will be doubled but since every coupon is worth $1.00 right now, they've temporarily changed that.

I also noticed that Safeway is making all coupons worth $1.00 now, too. hehehe. Gotta keep up with the Joneses, I guess. I don't even look at the Safeway ads nowadays because I find everything I want at Fry's and Albies, but since Fry's is taking competitor's coupons right now, I'm checking the other flyers for good ones. My roommate tossed out our home mailer last week before I found out about the Sarah Lee pie coupon. grrrr.

The OP asked if other Fry's accepted more than 3 of the same coupons, not necessarily doubling them. I'm new at couponing. A cashier at my Frys in Prescott told me she could only accept ONE of the same internet coupons because you can only print one of the same on the internet (NOT true!). She said if she did, she would "get a memo." Not wanting to be embarrassed at the checkstand, I've only been using one at a time. For lack of a better term, it sucks.

I have encountered this issue at my Fry's, but I spoke to the manager about it and they decided to take 2 at a time. It still sucks, but oh well. I do not have time to go over and over in the same week, so they lose my business by limiting me. I do think certain cashiers make it up as they go along so "shop" for a good cashier!

Another bump up

Mine depends on the cashier. If I shuffle them up, then they will. If I don't, then they won't. My Safeway will double everything, no matter how many ~ thus I have been shopping there much more. And, most of my eCoupons never come off at Fry's, even the ones I load from the Fry's website (which to me is aggravating). At SW, they ALL come off, and multiple times.

I understand that Fry's had to have their folks sign memos, but....and understandably they want to limit. But the amount that is doubled is still a tax write off for them for "providing a discount to the consumer". So, IMO, it's in their best interest to take the coupon. I would never go more than 4 of the same coupon...but I know that some folks will abuse it.

Ultimately it depends on the cashier. Last time I was there at my Fry's, the manager checked me out, and he doubled 4 of my coupons for one thing...so I dont believe it's as "hard" of a policy as some make it to be. If it was, he would not have done that. I truly believe that it depends on the cashier/store you visit, whether or not they double more than 3 like coupons.

3 questions :

" What is a " mega event? " .. when is it ?

" in one of the comments i've read that fry's is taking competitor's coupons- is that true ? Bc i did ask few weeks ago and was told - no- so .. i'm just wondering ?

How long does the " all coupons worth 1 $ usually last " .. is that more like an anual thing or .. ? does it happen once in a while- and when it happens how long does it last ? I'm n ew with coupons and started when they started the " all coupons worth 1 $ " .. really don't know how i will adjust to the fact that a 0.25 c co upon , really is , just a 0.25 c coupon .. :(..


TIA

A mega event is when they have big sales. Usually (maybe always) it a sale that you have to buy so many items to get the sale price. Like you have to buy 10 items and you will get $5.00 off. (Not all of the same items, any 10 items that are on sale) They usually have these around Holidays but have them other times of the year also. I'm surprised Memorial Day weekend was not a Mega Event.

Currently (unless I am not aware) they are not taking competitor coupons. They do this occasionally - again, usually around holidays. It would state in the ad if they were taking competitor coupons.

The 'all coupons are worth $1' has been going on for several weeks. This is a new promotion. There is no way to know when it ends. Someday it will just be over and we will all be sad! :(

They normally double coupons up to $1. Occasionally they will triple and quadruple coupons. (Again tripling/quad is usually around Holiday) So your .25 coupon will always be worth .50! :)

Let me know if you have any other questions!

Thanks!
