I need to get a life. This is the highlight of my week. Thank you for posting!
Policy shmolicy... it depends on the store, the store's management and/or the cashier or customer service counter person you're dealing with. It can drive you crazy but there are some places with coupon friendly cashiers that are only concerned with whether the store will get their money for the coupon and they don't get hung up on other little details. The Save On near me takes the Boursin coupons for stacking, but they won't allow stacking with coupons that say "cannot be combined with any other COUPON offer". :)
That's interesting McMinsen, because the policy I have emailed to me from SOF CS specifically says that stacks aren't permitted if it states "Cannot be used with any other (coupon, rebate) offer."
Honestly, I think their rules are arbitrary. Why do some stores allow stacking and others don't? Why do some stores do double coupon days and not other? I don't get it!
Also, some Pricemarts give overages, others don't. I was lucky enough to go to one that did for Sweet Baby Rays. But I know others that couldn't.
Their rules are very arbitrary. All the Van Houtte coupons that I know of have "Cannot be combined with any other offer" and yet like rish, I've been able to get a ton of Van Houtte for almost nothing at my Save On. I just get them a couple bags at a time, though. :angel:
I know! Mine won't, but that's ok. I'm very fortunate for what I can get ... like 116 diapers for $9.99! LOL (still have Pampers coupons that can stack!)
:top: I grab lots yesterday but it's not for me only it's for my 3 siblings and parents :angel1: as they are crazy with coffee like 5 cups in 1 day :eek:
and for the topic yeah it really depends with the store and cashier. The only thing they won't accept is the one that says "use of more than one manufacturer coupon is prohibited" (P&G)
i mean allow to stack with other coupons :)
Where one can find SOF coupon policy? I would like to print it & have it with me all the time i shop there...
PM me your email address and I can forward you their original email containing their coupon policy!
Thank you everyone for clearing things up! The SOF near me is quite picky but I am going to try and stack some of the coupons with the restrictive wording on them this week. Maybe I'll try a new location or go to Price Smart instead.
I just took a look through the new Price Smart flyer and there are some good stacking opportunities with the ginger ale, bush's beans and Oasis juice and the WF pineapple is a good price. Happy couponing everyone!
Umm....the policy that Save On sent to me on June 16 actually contradicts what some stores are allowing ~
as previously stated, the rules are arbitrary...some stores don't even participate, so I don't think carrying the policy with you is going to be of much help...best to find a store that allows it and get to know the CS staff.

Coupon Acceptance Practices
Our coupon acceptance practices are designed to help extend more savings to our
customers while ensuring we continue to offer an exceptional customer service
experience to everyone in our stores. We don’t limit the number of coupons redeemed per
transaction necessarily, but rather, we focus on our responsibility to follow the directions
clearly stated on those coupons.
To receive your coupon discount please
:
•
present your coupon at the time of purchase
•
ensure all conditions stated on the coupon are met (product to purchase, limits, etc.)
•
ensure all product specifications are met (size, flavour, etc.)
•
ensure your coupon is redeemed prior to the expiration date
•
if printed from the internet, your coupon is legible
•
ensure your coupon is not a photocopy
•
ensure your coupon is not issued by one of our competitors
Store-issued coupons:
store coupons are distributed through flyers, email, in-store kiosks, social media
and direct mail
•
Our store system reinforces the conditions of every coupon we receive to ensure that specifications are
met (including store name, date, product specifications, limits, combinations, etc.)
•
Can be combined with manufacturer coupons
•
Only one store-issued coupon can be redeemed per item (no stacking)
Manufacturer-issued coupons:
•
Can be combined with a store-issued coupon
•
Must have a Canadian address; US coupons aren’t accepted
•
The total value of the coupons cannot exceed the value of the product
•
Multiple manufacturers’ coupons can be redeemed per item (stacking), only if each coupon comes from
a different media source (e.g. manufacturer, newspaper, website, etc.) and has a different code (or
UPC)
•
Stacking isn’t allowed on ‘buy one, get one’ free (BOGO) products
•
Stacking isn’t allowed if the fine print says: Use of more than one manufacturer coupon per product is
strictly prohibited or if wording states “cannot be combined with other offers”
•
Splitting coupons across multiple products is not allowed
•
All taxes are payable on the full value of the item, unless the coupon specifications state it’s for a ‘free’
taxable product
•
Deposits and fees are payable on applicable products regardless of the coupon’s discount
•
Manufacturer’s mail-in-rebates will be honoured by the manufacturer not the store (and are not
considered coupons)
Guidelines for high volume coupon redeemers:
•
Please call ahead to ensure we have adequate team members available on our front end at the time
you plan to shop so that we can accommodate your needs while providing great service to our other
customers
•
At checkout, please ensure that coupons are placed with each item to speed up the coupon validation
and checkout process
•
If you hope to purchase large quantities of individual items, please provide 2 – 3 days notice to your
local store manager so we can properly manage inventory requirements
•
Please note that we reserve the right to limit quantities purchased based on inventory available for all
customers
•
Please note that we will not accept large quantities of multiple coupons during any special promotional
days. For more information, please see your local store manager
•
We reserve the right to amend the above mentioned practices at any time, in consideration of the best
experience for our customers
Would it be appropriate here to share what stores are in general coupon friendly? I know for a fact that the SOF store nearest me is very by-the-book when it comes to the policy. I don't have much luck stacking there. I would love to know what stores in the GVRD are much more lenient with coupling so I can stop wasting my time and start saving some $$$$.
Yesterday I stacked the "$2.00 WUB 2 different" coupon with a $2.00 off beauty bar and a $2.00 off Body wash coupon" and got both for free because they were $2.99 each.
Today I got another of the 2.00 WUB 2 from a trade and I tried to do that again and they wouldn't let me! Just goes to show it really depends on the cashier I guess.
