Straight from the Horse's Mouth: Ingles' Coupon Policy

[SaraBW]

Thought it'd be useful to have a copy of Ingles' official coupon policy for our own reference. It's interesting, though, that the 3 coupons per $10 limit is rarely enforced at the two Ingles I visit regularly. I know a lot of managers don't strictly police triples either, so I think the limits are very much YMMV. Feel free to print for use in your binder.

Dear xxxx,

Thank you for taking time to contact us. Ingles has been doubling coupons far longer than most of other grocery stores. We double each week, and triple occasionally. The Marketing Department announces the triple coupon week about 4 times a year, but never give any notice. We appreciate you being a loyal customer.

Our Coupon (double/triple) Policy is:

Three (3) coupons doubled with each $10 order.
Six (6) with each $20 order
Nine (9) with each $30 order
Twelve (12) with each $40 order
Fifteen (15) with each $50 order...etc.

You must have the Ingles Advantage card to double coupons. Coupons of 50¢ or less will be doubled, except on tobacco products, alcoholic beverages, coffee, free items, or Ingles coupons. Double value cannot exceed the price of the item. Double savings start with each $10 purchase. No more than two (2) identical items are eligible for double coupon savings.

We will NOT ACCEPT "FREE" internet coupons, only cents off
We will only accept 2 internet coupons per manufacturer product per visit per day
We reserve the right to reject any internet coupon that is altered or does not scan properly.

Sincerely,

Linda B. Glaze
Human Resource Coordinator

Since this isn't clear in the letter above, the $10 is before any coupons are entered.

Thank you. Being new to my area, this is important info. :)

In Greenville SC, the policy is enforced.

In Hendersonville, NC it is enforced as well. I've had less luck at one Ingles than at another though. Also, the Hendo Ingles doesn't accept ANY internet coupon whether for free or cents off.

I tried 2 different times to use an internet printable for $5 off when you buy 15 Delmonte can veggies, fruit and tomato. They had them 10/$5. They refused my coupon both times saying they didnt take dollar off coupons on cents off. What??? The way I read it (1st post about their coupon policy) is they dont take IP "free" coupons only those that take money off. My sister tried it once, no go, but then went back again and they took it the second time. Am I wrong to assume that they take $ off coupons and not just cents off coupons, or were they wrong (according to the 1st post) anyone else had this kind of problem???

Unfortunately, it is left up to each individual store. What you can do is call and have them send you a copy of the coupon policy so you can show it to the cashier next time you are there.

I have 2 stores in my area that take IPs no problem, but the store I shop at the most will not take them no matter what .

Where did you find the $5 off 15 Del Monte coupon? I would love to use that one.

Thanks!

Deleted since this is a thread on the official Ingles coupon policy no YMMV situations should be posted.
