To all my fellow “Couponers” Here are a few good things to know about using coupons and saving money!
Store Coupon Policies
It is a great idea for all of us “Couponers” to carry copies of Store Coupon Policies in our coupon binders! This way- there is never a hold up or discrepancies in a line up when using coupons!
Here are a few for you to browse and print SAFEWAY page: href="http://www.safeway.com/IFL/Grocery/Coupons-Policy" target="_blank">http://www.safeway.com/IFL/Grocery/Coupons-Policy Manufacturer and Store Coupons: 1. Coupons are redeemable only by a customer purchasing the specific brands and product(s) stated on the coupon, with the face value of the coupon deducted from your retail or club card price. 2. Coupons must be for products sold at Safeway and coupons must be presented at the time of the transaction. 3. Coupons are subject to advertised offer limitations and all other limitations and restrictions on coupon. 4. Coupons cannot be applied against the free item received in any offer where a customer buys one or more items to get one or more items free. 5. Coupon amount may be reduced so that any combined discounts and coupons do not exceed the value of the item. See number 12 below. 6. Coupons have no cash value. 7. Accepted coupons must be Manufacturer or Safeway store issued coupons for specific items only. 8. Safeway will accept valid manufacturer coupon that displays another retailer?s logo or name only if such coupon is for a specific item 9. Safeway will accept valid Catalina manufacturer coupon that is issued to a customer by another retailer only if such coupon is for a specific item. 10. The coupon must have an expiration date. 11. Coupons are void if they appear distorted or blurry, are altered in any way or copied. 12. The transaction amount may not fall below zero value, or go negative, meaning we will not give the customer money back. 13. All sales taxes are paid by the customer at the full value of the item. 14. All bottle deposits on the purchased and free items are paid by the customer. 15. Safeway reserves the right to refuse any coupons at its discretion. Internet Printed Coupons: 16. We gladly accept internet printed coupons. The same manufacturer and store coupon rules above apply to all internet printed coupons. 17. Internet printed coupons must scan at checkout. 18. Internet printed coupons must have serial numbers and follow an industry-standard format. 19. Manufacturer internet printed coupons must clearly indicate that they are a manufacturer coupon and have a valid manufacture address on the printed coupon. 20. We will not accept ?free product? internet printed manufacturer?s double Coupons: 21. Check with your local store regarding ?double coupon? advertised promotions where customers will receive double the coupon face value off the regular or club card price up to the advertised limit. Not all locations offer double coupon promotions. Limitations and restrictions for double coupon promotions may change at any time. Changes will be posted in store only. Coupon Stacking: 22. Safeway does not allow a customer to redeem two or more manufacturer coupons against the same item in a single transaction. Please note: This is referring to paper manufacturer item coupons only. We do not accept multiple manufacturer paper coupons for the same item. However, we will accept 1 electronic coupon and 1 manufacturer paper coupon for the same item. The exception to this rule belongs to our Hawaii stores. 23. Coupon stacking policies for manufacturer coupons apply to paper and electronic coupons that have been loaded to a club card. Please Note: We will accept 1 electronic coupon and 1 manufacturer paper coupon for the same item. The exception to this rule belongs to our Hawaii stores. 24. If a customer presents two coupons for the same item in a single transaction, Safeway will only accept the first coupon to be applied in the system. Please Note: We will accept 1 electronic coupon and 1 manufacturer paper coupon for the same item. The exception belongs to our Hawaii stores. In Hawaii, if a customer presents 1 manufacturer paper coupon and 1 electronic coupon for the same item, only the first coupon (paper or electronic) that the customer presents to the cashier will be accepted Please remember: A customer cannot use more than 1 type of paper manufacturer coupon on the same item, but if a customer purchases multiple like items and has just 1 type of paper manufacturer coupon for each like item, Safeway will take them all because it is only 1 coupon per item. For example, Customer purchases 6 cans of Brand Q canned peas. Customer has 6 like paper manufacturer coupons for Brand Q canned peas. (Buy one can of Brand Q canned peas and receive 50 cents off) The coupons will be honored for all 6 cans of Brand Q peas, because 1 type of paper manufacturer coupon can be used for each same item. We may change this policy at any time. All coupon redemptions are subject to the policy in effect at time of redemption. Policy changes may not be advertised. The current policy will be posted at the customer service area in each store. If you would like to discuss this further, please reply to this email or call our toll free number at 1-800-723-3929 and reference contact I.D. 18065818. One of our associates will be happy to assist you. We appreciate your business and look forward to hearing from you soon. Thank you for shopping at Safeway. Sincerely, Safeway Customer Service Team

Loblaws family of stores: ?We do accept internet coupons however they must have ?To The Dealer or Retailer? text on them. They cannot be past expiration and the cashier must follow the exact instructions as laid out by the coupon. The disclaimer ?one per purchase? means only one coupon can be used per transaction regardless of the number of units you are purchasing. If the disclaimer read ?one coupon per item? you would be able to redeem as many coupons as units you are purchasing per transaction.?

Here are a couple of ways to start. Make a coupon binder! How to start your coupon binder - · Organizing your coupons in a binder by category requires a few hours of time each week to clip and organize all your coupons. Pick a day and stick to it, this way seems to work best for me-then I don’t get overwhelmed! · This method makes preparing to shop quick and easy because your coupons are already clipped and organized! It’s easy to find the coupon you need if you should find some clearance deals, etc when you are in the stores. · Use Sports Card Holders to hold the clipped coupons (I find mine at the Dollar Stores.). You?ll need around 50 to 60 pages. I recommend organizing with the newest coupons in front and oldest in back, so you can keep track of which coupons are expiring sooner than others. Coupon Folder Here is what you need: * Front cut off from a cereal box Next take your double sided tape or glue and place it along the part you?d lick. (yes you can even just lick the envelope instead of using tape or glue). Now stick it to the back side of the next envelope (the part you wouldn?t address if sending a letter). Keep repeating this process, stacking the envelopes on top of each other until you?ve added the amount of envelopes you want. Next. Fold your cereal cover in half. If you want you can make it fancy by gluing on material or a nice piece of scrapbook paper to the box front before this step. Add tape or glue to the top envelope and stick it to the top of one side of the folded cereal box. Repeat with the bottom envelope and stick it to the other top side of the cereal box. Next you can add your ribbon for a tie. Use glue (or tape) to stick it on. If you don?t have ribbon you can paper punch a hole on each side of the top and use string to hold it together. Or even a clip or just rubber band the whole thing! What ever you have laying around. *** A very special thank you to saqn1972, for all of her hard work on this blog post… You Rock! *** href="http://canadianfreestuff.com/a-few-good-things-to-know-about-using-coupons-saving-money/">A Few Good Things to Know About Using Coupons & Saving Money! is a post from the original source of : href="http://canadianfreestuff.com">CANADIAN FREE STUFF - Freebies, coupons and contests href="http://canadianfreestuff.com/a-few-good-things-to-know-about-using-coupons-saving-money/" rel="bookmark">A Few Good Things to Know About Using Coupons & Saving Money! originally appeared on href="http://canadianfreestuff.com">CANADIAN FREE STUFF - Freebies, coupons and contests on January 31, 2011.
