End of Double Coupons?

[jaws1]

you might want to call Corporate customer service ... some regions outside TX are being told (by them) that their double and/or triple Qpons are ending as well.

Not sure if this is getting confused with d/t and stacking by one or other party, but ...

Also, since this "hit the fan," other customers are reporting problems using FREE (coke rewards, etc.) coupons and BOGO Qs.

Durn ... don't know if I'm allowed to post link to facebook page couponers are using, but you could get more info there.

pm or email me, if interested, and I'll send it to you!

I was told by our manager,that we won't be able to use a manufactures coupon on top of downloaded coupons, not sure if its in effect yet, but she said they will override them for a short time period ... boo

This is actually already the store policy. Not awesome, but it is what it is. (We also ask that you not post deals where you use the 2 in combination since it does violate the official store policy).

As far as I can tell this is the Texas area stores only. But I think if we see a second region do this as well then the writing's on the wall (no pun intended). Stay tuned...

I was told last night 5 like coupons per person per day and the dude told me I couldn't buy my ummmm yakisoba noodles with coupons. He actually took them out of the cart as he was saying it. I replied no problem thank you and got my bags and left. This used to be my favorite Kroger...unlimited coupon use...now it seems to be rules, rules, rules.

Jenn - my circular this week still said Unlimited double manuf q's up to .50 on the bottom of the front cover. If yours does too, I would show him and ask for a manager. Your .50 would only double up to the price, no overage so there should not be a problem. If the manager is of no help, honestly, I'd call the 1-800 # on their website or send an email complaint. They will have a district manager contact you (I had to do this once, my store would not accept another local Kroger's raincheck and, ...). District manager was very helpful and apologetic.

I've been told before that individual managers have the right to limit quantities despite what district ads post... Although saying you couldn't have any is rather beyond limiting.

We never got the discount for using your own bags here :(

And I highly suspect double coupons will be limited or seriously cut in the future -- When our Big Bear stores went out we saw the end of Super Doubles (no competition) and with everything else going on, I wouldn't be surprised if they took out double coupons completely.

Which means a lot less shopping at Kroger for me and more concentration on the Drug stores

It's bugged me to no end to go shopping with an ad that says "unlimited double coupons to .50!" at the bottom, and then to have my store limit to 2 like coupons.
Just not right somehow...

Robin - I was so tired by that time cause it was 9pm at night that I didn't bother, my ad probable still says unlimited too. I ended up using them at FL on another day, which worked out better for me anyways.

pwetypweas - I've even seen signs where they've stated that managers have the right to not honor the ad due to what they stated was a typo. And on another note, how about the substitute of FL eggs for Eggsland best when they ran out when they had that super sale on B1G1F(or was it 1/2 off?) Eggsland best and a lot of folks had the $.50/1. They didn't get a stock of eggs til a day before the sale was over in my area.

clippyclippy - we had that blurb too in our paper when they started limiting the amount of like coupons you could use in a transaction. I haven't checked to see if that blurb is still in the ad. I do know that I had a RC and the cashier wouldn't let me use all 10 of my coupons w/my RC. I had to wait until the next day(again shopping at night) and talk to the SVC Desk clerk who said I could use all of them at one time.

I'm gonna have to look up the coupon policy for Kroger and carry it with me whenever I do decide to go back there.
