I've always found that to be true. Some Albertson's meat was nearly inedible. As with all coupons, in the end, it is ultimately left up to the Manager's discretion. If your manager is a poopy-head, anti coupon person, you're not going to get very far with them. Most of them are smart enough to realize accepting coupons is a GOOD thing and increases sales. I buy much more stuff with coupons than I ever would without.
