Jewel Osco ~ Other: Jewel Osco NO LONGER TAKING EXPIRED COUPONS

[southsider]

I did a check on the other Supervalu store forums to see which double and I mentioned to her the ones that I found did. She didn't say anything about Chgo region getting doubles. The ones I could confirm double are: Acme, some Albertsons, some Farmfresh, Shaws and ShopNSave. Cubs take expireds which the length varies and I didn't find anything on Save A Lot.

No it started with a C and I think that they are just feeding us all the same line.

I'm currently pulling all my good expireds and making a list. By the time I'm done the cashier is going to really dislike me.

Thats pretty much what I did today. I have several expired frees that I forgot about, spent $7 for over $200 worth of products today and only 1 coupon wasn't expired. (it was the store $10 J&J coupon from the monitors)

I've gotten mixed reactions about expireds from various jewel locations - at New Lenox and Shorewood I was told that they could not "knowingly" take expired coupons - that was weeks ago. I will never step foot in the NL one because they were rude to me on 2 occasions and even corporate agreed that I was right.
I have a HUGE binder FULL of expireds - arggh!
Back to Dominicks - though I do wish they would do catalinas (or do they?) That's what has been really helping all the deals at Jewel too - catalina's and expireds!

Well if they could do a trade off for doubling events I would be cool with that. I use non-expired coupons 95% of the time at Jewel anyway. I use more at Dominicks than anywhere else.

If even one store started doubling I think that rest would follow...well at least the bigger ones. I think its ridiculous that so many of the sister stores double for both Dominicks(Safeway) & Jewel(Albertsons) but Chicagoland gets the old high one.

The same thing is probably true with expireds. If even one store started I think the rest would follow... Sadly, that is my prediction.

There are signs at the registers stating this--saw them last night.

I started pulling all my really good expireds last night, the problem is I have so many that I don't know where to start. I'm going to be a shopping maniac for the month of April.

I plan on calling after I get off work today, thanks for the number! The Shorewood Dominicks had some really mean cashiers in the past but the last two times I have gone in there there is one really super nice lady I forget her name since I normally don't shop there but she was wonderful. as for ultra and food 4 less they accept expireds up to 6 months right? BTW what is Dominicks policy on expireds, I have a few from 2005

It might be a little too far for you but there is the Romeoville store which I have heard is nice and the Homer Glen store. Don't forget Ultra and Food 4 Less accept expireds also. I'm glad you are going to call. I can't remember which store it was but there was one that stopped doubles and enough people called corporate and the store rethought their policy and brought back doubles. I just got a call back from corporate and she was trying to make excuses. I pointed out that their other Supervalu stores have doubles - Cubs still has expireds. I'm not happy that they are giving the Chgo region the raw deal. I also pointed out that there are 3 other chains in the area that still take expired coupons. She said she would pass on the info to her supervisor. She also tried to sell me on the the idea that they have competitive prices. The small independents and also Food 4 Less and Ultra have better sale and regular prices. They probably have the worst prices on meats. When they have sales I can still get a better deal at Dominicks on steak, hamburger chicken and pork loin. Jewels can't even come close. The only thing that they have going for them is the promotions. But Dominicks has similar promotions and without being able to use expired coupons, Dominicks is going to be the better deal for me.
