Does your grocery store take computer coupons?

Luckycharm · **11-27-2004, 10:25 AM**

Because of SOME rotten people on the net using PDF files to generate tons of free coupons from site, the stores around here quit taking them about a year ago. I was so cleaning up using those things too

nope, not one of them will here--but Kroger lets you load coupons onto your plus card from their site so that's kind of cool

Good question.

AFAIK we have only used internet printed coupons at our local Target. As long as it scans ok they have no problems with it.

my shop rite will but first they have to check a list to make sure it is not on the list.

I know that Scott's here in Fort Wayne still takes them but that is it.

The commissary used to take them, but doesn't anymore. They also used to accept as many coupons as you had for any item, as long as it didn't say "limit one per purchase" or whatever, but don't do that anymore either. For example--Gerber baby food coupons don't say "Limit one coupon per purchase" so you could use ten "$1 off 12" coupons at once, and get money back! That was awesome. But they stopped that back in July or so, I think.

Boogers. I think with the Upromise program you can "download" savings on certain itemsto your savings card. But the savings isn't that great to make me buy the certain name brands. I would rather just use my coupons! I love when they have B1G1 and I have a coupon for each - the one you buy and the "free" one then you double each one.... Yahoooooo I have way too much fun seeing how much I can save!!

I get more of a rush doing things like that than going shopping for other things like clothes, shoes etc. UNLESS of course it's a clearance sale then that is another story! LOL

Nope, nobody will take them in my area that I know of. They have huge signs taped on all the doors and registers, basically telling you not to even try it.

They won't take them in south Ga. either.

RossMAN · **11-29-2004, 5:33 PM**

So can we safely refer to these retailers as "coupon nazi's"?

dmws61 · **11-29-2004, 10:18 PM**

My sister works at the North Anthony Scott's and they take them.

My local Kroger will take them. (Especially if you go through a USCAN

)
