Kroger: Store Coupon Policy

Here’s our budget saving research on Kroger’s coupon policies:

The following is an e-mail from a Kroger representative outlining their coupon policies:

Thank you for contacting The Kroger Co. regarding the Coupon Policy for stores in our Atlanta division. Our policy is as follows:
· Coupons valued at .50 cents or less are doubled everyday when presented with your Kroger Plus Card and unless otherwise noted on the coupon.

We do accept Internet coupons, providing the following is true:
· The coupon is not for a free product or for more than 75% off the original cost – we do not accept those from the Internet.
· The coupon scans properly at the register. If the registers do not register, it is most likely not a valid coupon.
· The coupon is not altered in any way.

We hope this information is helpful. If you have additional questions regarding our coupon policy, please feel free to speak to store management. They will be glad to assist you. Thanks again for contacting The Kroger Co.

Hope you get some great budget saving deals at Kroger!

  • Coupons must be presented at the time of purchase.
  • To ensure product availability for all customers, we limit redemption to 4 coupons for 4 of the same item. For example, if you have five coupons for a specific cereal and have purchased five of the item, we will honor the coupon for up to four of the boxes of cereal.
  • All sales taxes are paid by the customer at the full retail value of the item.
  • Coupon value cannot exceed our retail price of the item; no cash back will be awarded.
Double Coupons
  • We will double up to 20 manufacturer coupons with a face value of $0.99 or less every day.

Internet Coupons

We gladly accept legitimate internet coupons. However, there has been a growing number of fraudulent internet coupons in the marketplace. We are committed to protecting our customers, manufacturers and our company against this illegal activity. Therefore, Lowes Foods will practice the following guidelines for internet coupons:

  • We will not honor FREE Product coupons printed from the Internet.

  • We will accept internet coupons that have an expiration date. If no expiration date is visible, we cannot accept the coupon.
  • Coupons will be rejected if they are distorted, altered or obvious duplicates. Coupons are non-transferrable, meaning they should not be photocopied or scanned and distributed to others.
  • Coupons have unique serial numbers printed on them and follow industry-standard format. Any presented coupon that does not follow standard format will not be accepted.
  • Internet coupon limits are the same as manufacturer and store coupons.

If you have any questions on the standard format of internet coupons, you can verify at www.printcoupons.com.

Target’s Budget Saving Store Coupon Policies

Here’s our budget saving research on Target’s coupon policy:

Please note that coupon policies can vary from state to state and store to store. But, these are the general guidelines outlined by their headquarters, however these policies can also change from week to week.

The following is an e-mail from their headquarters detailing Target’s current coupon policies:

Thanks for asking us about using coupons at Target. Coupons are a great way to save even more when shopping with us, and it’s easy to use them at our stores. Because of the variety of coupons available to our guests, we do have some guidelines for how coupons can be redeemed at Target.

When accepting coupons, we use the following guidelines:

- We accept two kinds of coupons: Target-issued and manufacturer-issued.
- We’ll accept one Target coupon and one manufacturer coupon for the same item, unless either coupon prohibits it.
- We can’t give cash back if the face value of a coupon is greater than the purchase value of the item; in this case, we’re able to adjust the value of the coupon to equal the price of the item.
- We can’t accept coupons from other retailers, or coupons for products not carried in our stores.
- All valid coupons should be presented to the cashier while you’re checking out.

For questions about using a specific coupon, we encourage you to stop by Guest Service and ask to speak with the Guest Service Team Leader. They’ll do their best to help while you’re in the store. If you still have questions after speaking with them, please call our Guest Relations team at (800) 440-0680. Either way, we’re here to help!

We appreciate the opportunity to share this information with you.
