SAVE-ON-FOODS THREAD-Coupons and deals post them here!

[Midnightly]

i have a feeling SOF is very frustrated and annoyed and short with people because they have answered the same questions a thousand times today.. everyone is calling/going in to get clarification and they are just exhausted of it all.. me i'm waiting for the dust to settle and see what comes of it.. but i think stacking is done.. (even at LD i think stacking is done.. or at the very least the end is near.. and they've stacked for easily 15+yrs)

RAOH (Halloween) !!

[BC Gal]

Wow, where is everybody? I hope recent events have not stopped people from posting. Many recent SoF deals have been with their coupons not stacking!

Here is a new SoF coupon for $1 off Wonderbread 570g (exp Nov 7): http://ofgserver.com/weeklyemails/sh...nch_coupon.pdf From what I read, anyone anywhere should be able to use another Wonderbread coupon with it...that should make for some good priced bread!

[mrs.march6]

[rish]

it's 2nd time around now that i don't get any flyer wonder what happen to the old lady who drops the flyer every week... maybe too cold for her to walk... I don't blame her it's too cold today and heavy snow

SAVE ON FOODS NO LONGER STACKS!!!

An email I received from corporate:

Hi Monica,

With the increase of stacking confusion and due to certain ethical policies that are put forth by the manufactures we are no longer able to accept coupon stacking. However you are able to stack one Overwaitea coupon with one manufactures coupons.

Sorry for the inconvenience this may cause.

Sincerely,
Steve

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 banner, 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 manufacturer’s 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:
o Use of more than one manufacturer coupon per product is strictly prohibited
o Only one coupon valid per purchase
o Limit one coupon per customer, limit one coupon per purchase
• 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 coupons’ 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 to 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.

promotional days. For more information, please see your manager.
• We reserve the right to amend the above mentioned practices at any time, in consideration of the

I've skimmed through a couple times and I don't ( ! ) see STACKING NOT ACCEPTED or this restrictive wording:Cannot be combined with any other offer, rebate, coupon, etc.

[hijinx25]

I know - but the red is found on virtually every coupon, no? I don't have a coupon that doesn't state limit one coupon per purchase. I talked to another CS rep and she said that they consider stacking to be ONE manufacturer's and ONE store coupon. Not multiple manufacturer's coupon.

Anyways, "Steve" who sent me the email, is a coworker of a friend of a friend that works in accounting for Overwaitea. Steve is in the customer relations department for overwaitea and was kind enough to answer some of my questions. All answers led to NO STACKING.

Now, I certainly HOPE that there still is, or at least some miscommunication and he's smokin' something and got it all wrong. But I've heard from MANY couponers, on this site and others here in the Lower Mainland and it's a no-go. Curiously, I haven't heard anyting from AB. So maybe it's regional and y'all on the island are SAFE. I hope for your sake!!

I just wanted to add that I also noticed that this is the FOURTH variation of the same policy that I've seen this week. Yours having the most info, I think. So they are still tweaking it. Anyways, I'm going to SOF now, as my friend is working and she's the CSM for my SOF so she'll be able to give me the down-low for her store.

[BC Gal]

It would be great if all of the stacking policy issues were posted on the thread here and the deals and flyers on this one.

[hijinx25]

Can they be merged? I dunno?

[rish]

thank you so much it's been 2 weeks now that i don't get flyer but i'm glad that someone can post if i can't

[suncrest]

wow - didn't realized i've missed about SOF not accepting stacking anymore....Madison is my local SOF but I didn't go this past week (thought about stacking for the Olymel BOGO deal but missed the Oct 31 timeline as most of the coupons expired that day), so I'm curious whether they still stack - maybe I'll have better luck if I go later at night...

anyways, here's a BOGO coupon for Earth's best organic baby food:
