Question about printed coupons - YDF - Your Daily Freebies Forum - Coupon Codes

I've never taken an online printed coupon with me to the store, but I'm loaded up right now with them. Before I venture out into the couponing "world" lol, can anyone tell me....

Does every store accept these coupons ?

Noooooooooope. You'll have to do some investigating in your town to see what stores/managers accept them. Also if you have regular cashiers that you use at checkout lanes...some might pass them through, others may not.

I usually call and ask. Around here Giant Eagle and BiLo will take them but Kroger won't.

Good luck!

There is not one store in my area that accepts them any more. Not a grocery, not Walmart, not Super-K, not CVS, not Walgreens.
Sad but true.

I believe, I believe. I was surprised the other day when Pet World took my $7 dog food printable...all the other stores in my area won't take them.

My WalMart and Randalls take them. It depends on the store.

Where in East Tennessee are you located? Might help more if someone from that area would post a reply about the stores that they go to, since it varies across the country.

There is really no store in the Minneapolis area that I know of that will accept printed coupons. Believe me I have tried.

I live in a very tiny county population wise (40,000). I even shop 45 miles away in a metropolitan area. Big or small, nobody is touching the home printed coupons. I really think it is completely your locality; once an influx of fraudualent coupons hits your area, you will find no one will take your home printed coupons any longer.
Marsh still take home printed coupons but only if you print them from through their website. Kroger is hit or miss, some stores have posted that they will not take them.
The advice to call ahead of time is great advice.

That's right. For our area it was the Dove printable coupon fiassco. One grocery even put up a sign with a heading from CIC..and Blah, Blah, Blah and then hand written lines saying they refused to accept FRADULANT coupons and home printed coupons wre fradulant. They put that up at every checkout of the store.
