Fresh Co. NOW ACCEPTING PRINTABLES! and 50% off some health items!

This could be the wrong section, I'm sorry if it is..
As many as you have seen I am a supervisor at Fresh Co. We recieved an e-mail from head office today saying that effective immediately we will be accepting printable coupons! check with your stores as they may not all of been updated yet. We notify our cashiers by posting a memo for them to read HOWEVER i know not everyone reads the memos so if you try to use one and get turned down, ask for a supervisor/manager ect ect. as we all have been told. super exciting in my opinion!

Also, all stores are doing relines (making room for new size items/scents) in the HABA (health and beauty aisle) therefore items that will not be sold anymore are 50% off! at my store we have things like irish springs body wash, dove soap and body wash, tampons, deodorant and toothpaste. I bought body wash for 50 cents after coupon (i was soooo excited!). Also, there are random other items throughout the store that we will no longer be selling and therefore are 50% off! KEEP YOUR EYES PEELED FOR 50% OFF YELLOW STICKKERS! I got tetly tea things for 34 cents after coupon, nestle cappachino drink mixes for 34 cents after coupons....theres also dark roast coffee at my store and sidekicks that end up being 50 cents after the discount

eyes peeled people! and happy shopping :)

Thanks for the valuable tips!

Thankls for posting!!! More reasons to love freshco

hi, first post here, i shop at frescho, recently i had the buy 2 save $3, on oil of olay, i purchased 2 bars for $2, does frescho give overage like walmart does?

Thanks hockeylover.
"relines" is my new favourite word:top:

Thanks! I'll keep my eyes peeled!

Awesome! All the more reason to shop there.

I dislike Freshco immensly, atleast the store in my area (its the only one I've ever been to) but I have to go there sometime this week since they have bacon on sale and its a special item that others don't carry so cannot PM. Will keep my eyes out for some cheap stuff would put them in my good books!

Thanks for letting us all know.

As a general rule no we do not do overage. However head office did give all stores permission to give overage on the soap your referring too, and that soap only :p

That is great news!!! one of the Freshco stores near me is coupon friendly, the other not so much

At our store all cashiers are being spoken too about making sure they are treating customers using coupons nicely and being respectful to them because it is not a loss to our store in any way (as us couponers know). HO has also sent out a memo to all stores making sure all cashiers and supervisors are treating any customers who are price matching with respect as there is no reason to treat them any other way - they arent doing anything wrong. I guess some other fresh co's have had some complaints that they are treating PMers very poorly just because they are price matching. HO is working really hard to get couponer and PMers in our doors and to keep coming back :)

awesome thanks!!

At the company FAQ, it still indicating not accept internet coupon, maybe they are still not updated?

• http://www.freshco.com/app_themes/fr...estions_09.gifWe regret that due to the large amount of fraudulent online coupons circulating, FreshCo only accepts original coupons provided directly from the vendor. Many vendors will mail coupons to you directly through some of the numerous coupon websites now available.

Thanks for the info! It's much appreciated :)

Great news but I won't believe it till I see something in writting from Freshco.

Is there a limit on how many of each item you can PM ?

Someone in my family was price matching 4 units of a particular item and they were told that you can only PM 2x of each item , so they only bought 2x of that particular item after the PM instead of 4x.

I understand if people are clearing the shelves or something, but 4x is a very reasonable amt.

If Frescho is accepting it , I guess Sobeys their parent company should also start accepting them soon :)

Sobeys has a distribution deal with Target , where all the groceries in the new Target stores in Canada will be supplied by Sobeys..so I guess Sobeys must have thought that if Target accepts printables we might as well start accepting printables in our family of stores like Price Chopper, Sobeys, Freshco etc :)

fantastic! I already love Freschco!

My local Freshco imposes a price-match limit of three of the same items.

Finally accepting printables, its about time, some of the cashiers at my frescho In carleton Place are very rude about coupons.

I refuse to PM at my local Fresh-co because it is a nightmare. They would only PM if the item was in their flyer as well as in the PM flyer and then the limit was one.

Maybe they are going to try and compete (finally). I know the locations in my area and right close to either a No-frills, or Walmart and RCSS so I just took their flyer elsewhere.

Yeah really what's with the PM of two items? My FreshCo is the same way. Any particular reason? Like tjthemanto says...4 isn't unreasonable.

I just found out the only Freshco in Downtown Toronto is now accepting printable coupons too!!

Definetly contact HO because that's complete wrong and that store will be in trouble for doing so

HO says 2 to keep the lines moving quickly. However the store has a right to change the limit, my store does allow 4 (my owners are amazing)

Call your fresh cos about the printable! Don't just speak to a manager (other department managers won't know) speak to someone in cash office or front end

This is exciting news, though my local Freshco can be very picky when taking coupons. I've heard cashiers talk amongst themselves (but loud enough so I could hear it) about how annoying coupons are. I'm not expecting the best experience when this comes into play. I'm hoping the website gets updated soon so we have something official to refer to.

Also hockeylover, where is your store? Sounds like I want to go to that one! :)

Thanks!

Thank you for letting us know, I might go there more often now. :)
