I am confused by this part of the policy
"With the purchase of two like manufacturer’s products, we accept two internet coupons, per store, per day."
Does that mean only 2 Ips period per day? I don't want to go up there with several different Ips and cause a problem.

2 ips by the same manufacturer...
So you could use 2 Ips for Cheerios and 2 Ips for Fruit Loops and 2 Ips for Betty Crocker Fruit snacks.

Ok. Thanks. That is what I thought but for some reason when I was reading it out loud with the way it is worded it just wasn't sounding right to me. And with all of the changes stores are making to their policies I figured it wouldn't be completely out of the question for them to do something like that...so I'd better ask.

"We double up to three identical items with manufacturer coupon; additional coupons for like item will be honored at face value. Like items include all flavors."

So, wait....I'm interpreting this to mean there is no longer a limit on the number of manufacturer coupons you can use per *ITEM- only the number that will double!

Anyone else see anything differently in the new policy?


(*Edited- I had originally typed transaction and meant item!)

Oh, gosh, does that mean we can't use something like 2 Kraft Dressing IPs and 2 Kraft Cheese IPs on the same day?

If so, that's gonna bite.

The 20 q limit only applies to doubling/tripling. Its nothing new.
Its just without doubling HT prices are not very competitive and you can use your q at any other store (at face value).

Oooooops, I meant to say per ITEM!!!!!!


There is no stated limit of three MQs per item anymore. It just says it will only double three and after that they are face value!!!

It's always been that way....
The only change is that they added the "Like items include all flavors".
So no getting around the limit of 3 by buying different flavors - which has worked nicely in the past.

ooops. ok- i just went back to the old policy and i stand corrected. why didn't i know that? i have had in my head that i could only use 3 like coupons- ever.

so basically, what you're saying is we've always been able to use an unlimited number of like coupons if they were ones we didn't need doubled or tripled (and not IPS)?

like, i can use fifty $2 MQs if i wanted to (i promise i won't- just an example.)
