Stackables and Non Stackables

Let's keep this thread updated continuously so that we can all learn the new product rules and regulations. Manufacturers are changing with the times and the coupon usage since it has been highlighted in the news and on TLC and other mediums. So the purpose of this thread is to keep consumers informed about what can be stacked and what can no longer be stacked.

Proctor and Gamble is no longer allowing any stacking of it's coupons at any London Drugs.

Finish no longer allowing London Drugs to stack

Scrubbing Bubbles no longer allowing London Drugs to stack

Dove is not allowed stacking at London Drugs (Thanks Mango)

Purina One S/B dry dog food stacks not allow in Langley LD (Thanks Le1948)

Let's hear some more?

Some London Drugs won't accept Dove coupons anymore. I've been to 3, and they told me that they're not allow to accept it since they're not gonna get reimbursed.

Purina One S/B dry dog food stacks not allow in Langley LD, I have not tried other LDs for most of them don't carry Purina One .

good thread!

Really we can't stack Dove?? I just stacked Scrubbing Bubbles at LD yesterday!

It is ALL LD's - they will not be stacking Finish or Scrubbing Bubbles products as well as per the manufactures

I had to borrow this from another thread so I couldn't quote it, just copied and pasted it. It may not be enforced yet, but it appears there is policy in place from the manufacturer.

Well, I just returned from my favourite LD and the cs informed me (and also showed me) that a memo was sent to all stores regarding all wording on coupons (not just Finish and Scrubbing Bubbles products). The Finish coupon was photocopied on this memo with the wording highlighted to instruct all cs staff what to look for.

According to this memo, coupons that have the wording 'cannot be combined with any other offer, discount or promotion' cannot be stacked if you are pm'ing or if it's on sale at LD, however, it can be stacked if you are purchasing it at regular price, and 'one coupon and one redemption per customer' (or something to that effect) also cannot be stacked. There were a couple other points on this memo that I cannot recall at this moment. The two I listed stood out for me because it affected a few of my purchases.

The cs admitted this was all a bit confusing but that they now have to go through every coupon to check the wording in order to go by manufacturer's policies and redemption of the coupon.

Hope this helps. If there is anyone out there that has also seen this memo at the cs desk, feel free to add and respond. Have a nice evening!

Would be nice if someone could actually get a photocopy of this and paste it up here on SC. That would be even better :) Thanks for sharing this!

Can someone confirm dove is not allowed?

Mango confirmed that 3 LD's would not stack the Dove's. His word is as good as Gold when it comes to this. I know him :)
But I guess it would be a try and try again at different ones.

I was turned down from 2 places as well. I stopped bothering after that.

Is it that they won't let you use any dove coupon or won't let you stack? Anyone hear anything about aveeno?

By the way, what is the reason (wording) that they tell you that you cannot stack Dove?

The reason that they gave me about not allowing the stack the dove coupon because it said "cannot be combined with any other offer." They told me they're not allow to accept it and that they weren't gonna get reimbursed for it.

One of the stores told me that even if they allow me to stack, I won't be allow to price match or get it at a sales price because and offer can be considered as a sale or as a price match.

The store's interpretation seem contrary to the emails the head office person sent out that was posted on Facebook. Anyone know why? As far as i am aware, Dove isn't one of the items on the in store memo or is it? Unilever makes dove. So if dove can't be stacked, does that apply to all unilever products?

I also thought it was posted in the blogs that it has to say not to be combined with any other offer, discounts, or promos to prevent it from being price matched and using coupon.

I think the rules are now being interpreted more strictly than the were before. The poster above said that the stacking will be allowed if it is not on sale unless it says one coupon per redemption or one coupon per customer. The only way to really see this is to get our hands on a copy of this email from an LD manager so we can all read the rules and see how they are actually interpreting them. But from the sounds of it, Dove is not allowed to be stacked.

Just to add to the confusion and how LD staff are interpreting the memo that all LD locations received, someone posted a good question/comment on the LD blog, which you can find here:

http://blog.londondrugs.com/2011/12/...don-drugs.html

I found the response very interesting (which I cut and pasted here):

We do accept coupons on sale items unless the wording on the coupon clearly states we can't. If the coupon states it 'can't be combined with any other offer' we accept it because the terminology isn't completely clear. If the coupon states 'can't be combined with any other offer, promotion or discount' it is clearly stating don't accept on sale items.

So, the wording on the Dove coupons (2wub2) state "cannot be combined with any other offer". Thus, allowing this coupon to be stacked, right? Maybe something has come down from Unilever requesting that Dove coupons are not to be stacked or maybe staff are unaware of the 'combined with any offer' wording.

Anyone have trouble stacking Live Clean products? I have a couple stacks I'd hate to see go to waste....

Too bad re Dove. I have 2 stacks that I guess I'll have to let expire.

Well, can't say I'm surprised about the Dove - it is amazing to me that it went on as long as it did without them addressing it.

I can't say I'm unhappy about it either. Since Dove coupons at my stores vanish instantly - taken in large quantities immediately after appearing by individual couponers - at least now that you can't get free product with them anymore I might have a chance at getting some.

I just stacked Doves' at Langley LD, no problem there

I just stacked Dove at Brentwood Mall LD with no problems whatsoever. They are an awesome store to stack at in general. I never have problems there.

I stacked Dove at Guildford last night no problem. They said they aren't doing Quatum, Scrubbing Bubbles or Multibionita but Dove is still fine.

Thanks OP for starting this thread..... haven't stacked Dove or Finish for a while now anyway. I'd much rather prefer to get the heads up on here rather than in the store. Should this thread be somewhere else though so that others that use LD can read and be informed about the changes? :)

This is a local area thread for the Vancouver group mostly to stay informed about changes to any of our frequent shopping stack favorite places and is not LD specific, but rather coupon specific as to what changes have been made. It just so happens LD is the big one at the moment and gets all the attention with regards to Dove, Finish and Quantum.

it was bound to happen.....

I think whenever people go in and stack for more than 4 of the same items at a time (regular family usage - whatever that might be?) that the manufacturers will start to notice. I mean when someone is buying 100 dove shampoos for free (for donations) .... wouldn't it just make business sense for the company to close the loop - make their own donations to charity - and increase their prices???? It doesn't take a business major to figure that one out..... My goodness - it's the same people that Zellers employ to do their on-line marketing. Ok ... just having some fun here!

Yeah speaking of Zellers.
Yesterday I went in and it was one per family/household.

Then I went to another today and I grabbed batteries off a rack in the toy department only to be told batteries are part of the electronics department. I wasn't going to argue the point with them about it. But the coupon does state "from Home Electronics Complex" and these batteries were in "Toy Department"...so I could have argued. They were $15 batteries. Anyways, some couponer was also in the Willowbrook shopping Center and was leaving bread coupon crumbs everywhere and I scooped up a nice $1 off M & M's Candies Coupon which is good until January 31st...waiting for those Christmas M & M's at Walmart to go on sale even further :P

Anyways, back to point. I will be thankful when Target comes in and takes over these leases and Walmart and Target go to war with each other. Coupon heaven!!!!!!
