The Knox are on the top shelf ... directly above them!

Question... Will the store get reimbursed for using these coupons? I would LOVE to get some overage on these. I have 44 of these. I do not want to use them though if the store does not get reimbursed for them. I t says on the product indicated. Does that mean on the ones pictured. I don't recall seeing that particular wording on many coupons. Does that really mean the ones pictured. I hope not. But I would not want to use them if they do not get reimbursed. That would be over 100.00 overage for 44 used over a period of time. TIA!!

You can use it on any Knox product because it says ANY on the coupon. They pictured the other ones because they are hoping you will use it on those LOL but we know better. They do get reimbursed. If it said the kinds of Knox then you wouldn't be able to use it but it says any so you are good to go. Go get you some overage:)

Can you use these on the SCO? I'm always scared to try and get overage at Walmart because of that valid amount question, most cashiers think it means it cannot be used at all instead of adjusting the coupon down even.

The knox gelatin at my SWM is $1.32. $2.68 overage for me. I know better than to use these during the earlier hours at my walmart. The coupon police (aka old ladies ) would and faint.

Sorry but what do you use this for?

[Sherry3388]

I went to Walmart with my Knox coupons, by golly!

It's THEIR policy to deduct coupons at face value...REGARDLESS of item price. In the past, I've been told this directly by Corporate and then, Corporate called "my" Walmart to remind them to be redeeming coupons AT FACE VALUE... regardless of the item price.

So... I went and got $107.13 worth of stuff for a mere $0.96 !!





I got :
(27) 3-bar pks. of Ivory soap *pricematched the .99 CVS sale
(17) Knox Gelatine
(3 ) Hormel Cure 81 Hams
(6) Philadelphia Cream Cheese bricks
(2) Sargento Shredded Cheese
(2) Gallons of Milk
(1) bag of Tostito’s chips
(3) 2Ltrs. Rootbeer
($107.13)

Coupons used : ($108.50)
(27) $1.00 Ivory soap
(17)$4.00 Knox Gelatine
(3 ) $3.00 Hormel Cure 81 Hams
(2) $1.25/3 Philadelphia Cream Cheese
(2) $1 cheese

$107.13
+$2.33 – tax
$109.46
-$108.50 – coupons
=$0.96

And P.S. : I use the Knox to make cheesecakes.
My hubby and FIL both LOOOOVE Cheesecake!
And when I make Cheesecakes... I usually make 3 at a time...
One for my hubby, one for my FIL and one for the rest of us...lol.

I'm trying to remember, is this EXPLICITLY stated so I could show to the cashier? I would love to use a lot at one time. My original plan was to keep under the radar and only use 2-3 per transaction.

Unfortunately, no...
It's NOT stated in ANY "written" policy ... none that we can print anyway.

I was having issues at my Walmart years ago about coupons... so it prompted me to call Corporate.
I talked with Corporate for a good 45 mins.. asking about how they submit coupons for reimbursement, etc..
They don't use "bean counters" ...so they are reimbursed the full face value of the coupons.
So, I asked :
Since you get reimbursed the full face value of the coupon...
If an item is .78 and I have a coupon for $1.00 off... and your cashier alters the deduction to only deduct .78...
...isn't it a form of theft/fraud?..for you to "alter" the deduction at the register??
Cuz to ME.... that sounds like Walmart is ripping off the Manufacturer.

And most coupons state "Void if altered, etc."... so by altering the deduction..
Doesn't that in turn, void the coupon?
I mean, as a consumer, I cannot alter the deduction...
Why is it ok for you, as a retailer?

Cuz to ME... it doesn't matter if it's a customer or a retailer..
Theft is theft..
Fraud is fraud..

And I went on to ask...
Do manufacturers KNOW that you are altering the deductions (at the register) on their coupons, then being reimbursed the full face value?

And .. I stated that I am a smart shopper... and I *do not* set the value of the coupons, nor do I set the prices of their items they sell in the store..
So I (as a consumer) have NO control over "overage"... I merely try to save money and shop wisely..

So to summarize...
He was really nice and said that I was completely right...
That the cashiers should be deducting coupons at face value..
He *emailed* (not called) my walmart to reiterate the "unwritten" policy...
And within an hour, I got a call from "my" local walmart manager...
She apologized for ANY inconvenience that I may have experienced and said that she would inform her cashiers and floor managers that coupons are to be redeemed at face value... regardless of the item price.

HTH~
