NEW: Can you PM and use a coupon?

[acosta]

Hi fellow coupon clippers!

I am new to this world and would like to ask a general question - can I price match and use a coupon? Or is it store specific for this answer?
I live in Toronto, Canada.

Thanks!

Yes, most stores that price match will let you use a coupon too. I've done this at Walmart and FreshCo many times.

Thanks for the response @Jeniana!

Do you provide your coupon per item you purchase? That's usually how I do it because I know the stores have to manually enter the coupon amount, and should be comparing it to the product.
But once you PM, then provide the coupon, I feel they will automatically refuse my coupon.

Guess I have to try!

I give the flyer with the item then once entered as a PM give them the coupon. I have had an issue doing it once, asked the manager for clarification "if I chose to shop at xyz and buy it there instead I could use the coupon, yes? You are simply reducing the price per your advertising policies and not a discount or offer". The manager agreed with me and put it through

Thanks for the response @FallenPixels!
Your reasoning makes sense - I must remember that when I get told I cannot coupon on top of PMing

[Frugalbigmama]

I have never been refused using a coupon when PMing. I do it weekly at RCSS

just remember also some stores limit the number of items you can price match!

Yes! My Freshco said 2 items per price matched item.

RCSS said 4 per price matched items.

My local Freshcos are between 4 and 6 items so if you have more than one local one, check with them

The only restriction I have come across is at RCSS where a cashier said I could not pm and use a coupon zone coupon (but I could use a regular coupon).
