HEB ~ Vent: HEB NOT taking Freebie coupons? Seriously?

Also, I just printed two Chinet coupons off the internet. They are good for $1.00 off any one (1) Chinet product. If I do this deal, shouldn't I be able to use the In-Ad Coupon to get the free package of napkins and also use the $1 off IP coupon as well?? The way I see it, the In-Ad Coupon is applied to the second package and the $1 Mfg. Q would apply to the other package. What do you guys think?? I know that H-E-B never lets you use a mfg. Q with an H-E-B Q but I don't see why this deal wouldn't work.

I don't shop at HEB often (closest one is 30 miles away), but when I do shop there, if I have one, I always use Qs on the item I'm having to pay for (in order to get the free item).

I don't know the prices on this, but if the 1st Chinet plate is $1.00 or over, they should take the $1.00 IP + the magazine Q for the second pkg free ... Corporate policy allows it.

Each package of napkins costs $2.26. So, there is plenty of overage to cover the $1 mfg. Q.

Well, I am completely confused. The letter that was posted said that you can use a Man Q along with the in store Q. I stopped shopping at my HEB in Round Rock because I was told that I could not do that at all. I had to use only the HEB yellow Q and no other.

Guess I need to contact HEB for clarification and if it is in fact true that you can use an HEB Q and a man Q then I'm printing out their email and taking it with me.

I was at H-E-B today and was going to do the Chinet deal but I couldn not find the manufacturer's coupons. I still plan to try the deal and will post here what happens. Our newer H-E-B has self-checkout but they do not have the Chinet napkins for some strange reason. Our older H-E-B has the napkins but no self-checkout. So, I will be at the mercy of the checker.:sad:

Update: I did this deal today. Got 4 packages of napkins. Store coupons for BOGO Free scanned without a hitch. The $1 mfg. Qs beeped...no match. Checker looked at the mfg. Qs, said "any Chinet product" and entered them manually. So, I got 4 packages of napkins that normally sell for $2.26 each for $2.52 plus tax.
