I went to Save On Foods yesterday and asked the customer service lady (Yvonne) if coupons were now stackable there and she said yes! I got so excited I almost forgot what I went there to buy, lol. I got a taco kit and had two coupons; the cashier did not know about stackable, but asked customer service, and I got my taco kit for $1.49! I forgot to ask if they price match, so if someone knows, please post the answer.
Cool! Thanks!It is spreading...
As of now...they do not PM, but I have seen them advertise that they 'Admatch' that means the store will automatically adjust their prices to reflect other stores sales...but...not quite up to par with PMing as the store gets to choose what they are PMing or not...not the consumer. That being said...I wouldn't be surprised if they go that way eventually.
Thanks for letting us know...hopefully everyone will use their coupon etiquette so it doesn't get squashed before it has a chance to take off!!
It's nice to know that after my disappointing trip to LD yesterday, I can go somewhere closer to where i live and do the same thing, cool thanks for posting this.
They surely lost business when Walmart moved and expanded the grocery section. It is a good way to get some of that business back. Their prices have really increased the last couple years. Everything I looked at yesterday was higher in price than WM or RCSS except for a few sale items. Too bad they don't price match.
Fantastic BC Gal! I was going to give them a call tomorrow to see if they did. I guess now I'll be planning a stacking trip instead! Any word whether we can stack those online PG brandsaver coupons? Will they let us have overages?
I went to save on yesterday no they don't price match and I spent a bit of time talking to the cashier because i use to shop there regularly ( when i was a sucker and paid for everything full price ) any who she said some cashiers are not so fond of the coupons while others have embraced and love it so be patient and kind with those who aren't so fond. she also said it will only be a matter of time before they will price match ( looking forward to that day ) I found some sweet deals with coupon stacking so all said happy shopping!
Thanks so much Kali for checking it out! As with anything all these folks are new to the whole thing and we are fortunate to have them take coupon stacks now...patience is paramount if we want stacking to stay.
I can't wait!
I had a very successful shopping trip at save on food yesterday myself! I was able to get 2 packages of bounty 6roll count, 2olay body washes and 3 gillette body washes for .80 cents!!!! was sooo proud lol BUT yes please pleas be pacient as the cashiers and everyone is learning. FYI: they do not adjust coupons. If your product is $1.99 and your coupon is $2.00 it will not work. Sorry but thats ok u can still do those little ones and zellers or LD. HAPPY SHOPPING!
is it just the save on food or is it the pricesmart as well??
only SaveOn, not PriceSmart
Well....I have heard some bad reports from SaveOn about rude couponers and shelf clearers. So much so that they are re-evaluating the coupon policy and looking at stopping stacking (already)...I am not sure what to say, as I would hope most of us here would not do this, and those who are will continue to do so anyway. Too bad, as we all lose out if they stop stacking altogether...even at LD, some of the cashiers have commented how 'mean' some of the coupon shoppers have been since the rules have changed and don't get their way...rules are rules...yes, it is frustrating when it is diff. from cashier to cashier, but they are just doing their jobs the best they can...no reason to get 'mean' about it.
I was in there on the weekend chatting with customer service about stacking while I was purchasing my 2 stacked items and she told me that she didn't expect stacking to last very long. When I initially asked them about their stacking rules before I gathered my items you could tell they were a little on guard discussing stacking. Sigh. I was so excited to be able to get cheap diapers/wipes again and it looks like it might not be lasting much longer :(
why am I not surprised?
Here we go again.........the ones who feel 'entitled' ruin it for everyone else. :(

Blah.
i was there last night and the manager was telling me that they have been getting really rude couponers in and some couponers are going in late at night when they have there youngest staff on trying to be sneaky, not good!!
I was at SOF this morning getting some groceries (not stacking) and the cashier had mentioned that since they started allowing stacking that the shelves were being cleared and it was going to be ending soon. I put my groceries in the car and went back to customer service for some clarification and they told me as of now they were still stacking but they were no longer allowing the P&G with the 'strictly prohibited' written on them to be stacked and that it was only one per media source per stack. I think it depends on who you talk to but they are definately tightening up what they are allowing like LD did.
ETA - Just remembered CS also told me that they are not allowing stacking on their flyer coupons like the B1G1 they had in last weeks flyer.
:teeth:Ok so im very new to couponing and my hubby and i are already in love with it!! My first experience was yesterday when I paid $3.97 for a bottle of 60 Super strength motrin liquid gels when they were reg 11.97!!
I am however a little confused about stacking. I would love some tips and tricks!! Thank you
I'd be scared to say anything for fear that the rules would change tomorrow..there has been such an explosion of couponers (good and bad) that the rules are changing -almost daily...from the sounds of it, it's pretty much done with, or soon to be. I will see if I can find a thread on here that kinda explains it -even though many of the rules have now changed, and it is diff. from city to city.
BTW, welcome!
It is great to have a grocery store that allows stacking coupons. It would have been better for the cashiers not to have to learn on the fly. As well, they should set limits on how much one person can buy of one product. Having said that, the majority of people who shop at that store do not use coupons and probably never will. It benefits that store to allow stacking and bring in customers who will not pay their higher prices otherwise.
-Exactly mutchdutch, as long as coupon etiquette is used and no one tryes to take advatage of coupon stacking or trying to trick cashiers ect im sure many stores will jump on board..... its always frusterating reading peoples posts on this forum suggesting `trying to *slip coupons by the cahiers* that are doubles or expired or restricted.... you wouldnt try to slip a fake 5$ bill to the cashier... how is a 5$ coupon any different..Quote:

I'm planning a shop this saturday!! since then I will have some cash to go shopping.
wow , just great . Im wish people would just get a clue and not clear the shelves !!! and ruin it for evveryone :(.
when I called in they said they have no plans of changing their policy :)
please enlighten me on stacking ---what is that??? ---does it mean one item and using more than one coupon for paying for the item thus getting it for FREE?
