It is very important to know each stores coupon policies before planning. Some stores double coupons, while others do not. Some have special weeks where they TRIPLE coupons. Therefore, before you go, you need to be aware of their policies. Here are some stores and their coupon policies.
Bi-Lo
(must use your Bi-Lo card to get sale prices)
1. You can use a store coupon WITH a manufacturer's coupon.
2. Most double coupons that are $0.60 or less (here in Charlotte they double up to $0.99)
I suggest you call your local Bi-Lo to check on the value.
3. You do not have to buy 2 of an item that is B1G1 Free--they ring up half price.
If you do buy two, use TWO coupons!
FUEL PERKS
Bi-Lo partners with local gas stations, generally BP (the store can tell you the nearest gas station), and for every $50.00 you spend, you receive $0.05 off per gallon of gas (up to 20 gallons). They roll over and expire every quarter. I've paid $1.95 gas after a month of saving my fuel perks! At times, fuel perks are doubled and you receive $0.10 for every $50.00.
Harris Teeter
(must use your VIC card to double coupons and get sale prices)
1. Double all coupons up to $0.99.
2. They only double 20 coupons per day.
3. You do not have to buy 2 of an item that is B1G1; it will ring up half price.
4. Most stores only allow you to use one coupon per B1G1 deal, so try to get just one.
5. They will not accept more than 3 of the exact coupon per day.
Harris Teeter often has TRIPLE weeks. As well, they run Super Double weeks where they double coupons with a value you $1.98 or less.
Food Lion
(I'm not a huge fan because they have no SET policy)
1. Most do not double coupons. Some are beginning to double less than $0.60, so check with your local store--Charlotte does not double.
2. READ the sale sticker at the store, they generally say if you must buy 2 to get the B1G1 special. You can ask your local store manager as well if they ring up half price.
3. You can use store coupons and manufacturer's coupons together.
Ingles
1. Doubles coupons $0.50 or less.
2. Only doubles three coupons for every $10 spent. So, spend $10, double 3; spend $20, double 6, etc.
3. Only two coupons that are identical will be doubled. You can use a lot of the same coupon, but only two will be doubled.
Lowes Food
1. Doubles coupons $0.99 or less.
2. Doubles only 20 coupons per day.
3. B1G1 specials will ring up half price, so you only have to buy one. You can use two coupons if you buy two.
4. They accept any competitor coupon for value off total.
Wal-Mart
1. Does not double coupons.
2. Matches any sales price.
3. Accepts any number of coupons.
Target
1. Allows you to use Target coupons with a manufacturer coupon.
2. Does not double coupons.
3. Accepts any number of coupons.
CVS
1. Does not double.
2. Allows you to use CVS coupons with a manufacturer's coupon. This is where great deals come!
3. Accepts any number of coupons.
4. Accepts any number of Extra Bucks.
When speaking of doubling and tripling, often with Internet coupons, you see "DO NOT DOUBLE OR TRIPLE." If the coupon begins with a 5, it will be doubled or tripled. Cashiers do not read the coupon--they scan them! I've never had a coupon eligible to be doubled not be, except some coupons I have clipped from Sunday papers that said "DO NOT..." but they also did not begin with a 5.
Hope this helps get you started even more with your couponing!
That was going to be my next question..."Do not double or triple"...but you answered it! :)
ReplyDeleteHope this helps! I'm going to try to post the deals I am getting at Bi-Lo today. When I am able to get the circular for Harris Teeter (starts Wednesday) I'll post some great deals with triples!
