Kroger (Cincinnati) ~ Question: Limit on the amount of the same coupon used?

[veggietalesmom]

I am in Hannibal, MO and the limit is 2 of same coupon. Really makes it hard when doing some of the sales you buy10 and save$5.

as for the latonia store, cecismom is right. Back at Easter i had a headache of a time.

And LMKIA, thanks for trying to clarify but this had NOTHING to do with "limits" on items.

The store manager straight up did not hide the fact he hated couponers.

Told me if i wanted to come in and buy up his entire store, im more then welcome too. But if im using coupons- he will limit me.

Corp told me the store manager makes their rules and they will back the store manager.

As i said, Delhi and Latonia, steer clear. The other Kroger to watch as well is the one on 128, in Cleves. They are sticklers too.

thank you everyone! good to know. I am not sure which Kroger I'll switch to, I seem to have something going on at each...but I'll start staying clear of Latonia. Too bad it's the one with a gas station.

*shakes fist at crazy manager*

Im not in KY or i would try and give ya a hand.

The manager and me really got into it to the point of him insulting me and me being banned from the store. I didnt post about it on here because it got really ugly. And No to those of you who say "why would you fight over a coupon.. bla bla bla"

It wasnt the fact he said "no" to what i was doing. I've been told no before many a times.

I dont like being told because im a couponer im poor and try and steal from the store.

Round about of the incident was:

I had 20 coupons for .50/2 cadbury eggs

they had HUNDREDS of them in a clearence bin (4 bins to be exact)

I had 40, went to check out, Cashier gave me a "look" called the CSM over who called the other red coat over who then called the store manager. He told me that i couldnt do it. I said fine no problem. He then must have thought i couldnt hear him and told the 2 red coats he is "sick of these poor people comming in for something free"

Now, im a nice person usually. But when i hear that, yea i got a bit... well not nice.

All i said was "Umm excuse me?"

He then told me im a fraud and only looking for hand outs.. i told him straight up that i wasn't doing anything illegally.

he then told me to "buy them with out the coupons, you can have as many as you want then" (Uhh whats it matter??)

And the OXYMORON that topped it off was:

"Well couponers come in and clear my shelfs. If you want to come in and clear my shelfs and store and NOT USE COUPONS... please do. I would be more then happy to have you do that"


I wont get into the rest of the situation, but if you were at the store the saturday night BEFORE easter, yes that was me up at the customer service desk having a shouting match with the manager and Loss Prevention.

That is nuts!

as far as the KY stores, i regularly shop at the bellevue store which is coupon friendly. both cold spring locations have been super helpful when i have had coupon issues (forgetting to scan a coupon, etc.) and have praised me for my savings. the newer cold spring one (near meijer) has a gas station.

i've shopped at the latonia one because it's right behind CVS, and haven't had any problems. however, i don't usually do major coupon deals there.

R you saying that u are using the same coupon and they r scanning it more than once or do you have multiples of the same coupon? I'm new to this coupon thing so I may be a little dumb. Maybe they need to do "Coupons for Dummies". I didn't know you could use 1 coupon multiple times if that is the case. Amazing....

You can use one coupon per item generally. The wording on the coupon dictates. If it says one per item purchased, and you purchase 6 items, then generally you can use 6 coupons. If it said 1.00 off 2 items, you would need to purchase 12 items to use 6 coupons.
