Harris Teeter ~ Question Nabisco coupon for B1G1 cookies wyb milk

sdenk6378 · 08-04-2010, 03:43:34 PM

I had the coupons for B1G1 cookies when you buy a gallon of milk. I was told they don't take Internet printables for B1G1 free coupons. I thought they just didn't take Internet coupons for outright free items but would accept them when you are making a purchase to get an item free. Anyone have the answer?

If it is an internet coupon and you can "get" any thing free -- no matter what you have to buy to get it, HT will NOT accept it. Customer Service informed me that their coupon policy is being updated to be very specific regarding the wording on such coupons.
Walmart will take it.

Thank you for your reply. That is pretty annoying since I shop at HT a lot. I hate having to go out of my way to use a coupon. However, I suppose it is from people making fake Internet coupons. On that note, I don't understand why people just can't be happy with legitimately using coupons- it's pretty easy and there are so many offers you can get everything you need honestly and ethically. ::sigh::

Exactly! I was really bummed and I could tell the manager who has known my husband for decades (me, more recently) wished he could take a free coupon. I got an internet looking coupon in the mail from Excedrin for a free bottle "up to whatever dollar amount" and it was a no go. He knows me as an honest couponer, but rules are rules. I went to Wally world and used the Q, but I hated to. I avoid WM like the plague.

I have used that Nabisco coupon at Food Lion a couple of times. The best part is that if the Nabisco cookies go bogo, each one rings at half price, but the register at Food Lion takes off the original price for the b1g1 coupons, meaning you get both cookies for free - just pay for the milk

Thanks for the tip beanie23 but no Food Lions in my area. I do have Bloom though and they bought out Food Lion here so maybe I can use it there. I can also try Target I suppose, I have gift cards for there.

bi lo has chips ahoy for b1g1 free and milk is cheaper

It's pretty annoying indeed. Seeing as how I've made HT my only store I frequent and they don't let me use those coupons (and I also get hassled about mailed free coupons..."we don't take free printables" "it's not a printable, it was mailed" "But it looks like a printable"

) I'd really rather not be forced to go to walmart...a place I hate because they only ever have two lanes open...just to use a coupon

For those qs, they come on a letter from the company right? I had a similar one for McCormick. I took the letter with coupon and showed them both. I showed them that it was not a printable q it was a q from the manufacturer (not to mention it is on some sort of paper with watermarks in it), and I had no problem with it. In this case, just take the letter it comes on.
