Kimi in MD Posted September 20, 2007 Share Posted September 20, 2007 I asked Kmart if they took expired coupons and the checker said "let's see" and it went right thru. It had only been expired for a few days. Are there other stores that except expired coupons? If so, what's the time limit on them? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sm1kla Posted September 20, 2007 Share Posted September 20, 2007 Linens N' Things accepts their coupons up to 60 past the expiration. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kimi in MD Posted September 21, 2007 Author Share Posted September 21, 2007 Your right...I forgot all about Linens & things. Also, even though coupons from Bed, bath & beyond have an expiration date...they never expire I was told by the clerk. I've used expired coupons in there several times. What food & drug stores accept expired coupons? Any one know? I'll start a list and add to it as we find out.

freesia39 Posted September 21, 2007 Share Posted September 21, 2007 it really is hit or miss - it's actually up to the cashier to check if it's expired. sometimes you can get away with it, and the next time you go, you can't. the only place i know for SURE that takes expired coupons are the stores on overseas military bases.

Marian2007 Posted September 22, 2007 Share Posted September 22, 2007 safeway often does.The computer lets the coupon bar code take the discount even if it's expired.But it does help to get a younger,doofus-y looking checker just to be on the safe side!

LoveNcMountains Posted September 23, 2007 Share Posted September 23, 2007 The BBB coupons you can use as many as you want in one transaction also, which is good since thier stuff is typically overpriced compared to other stores. Chick Fil A (atleast around here) accepts expired AND coupons that are for specific stores. Like if the coupon says "Valid only at Main Street location" you can use it at any around here. Chick Fil A's are not "coporately owned" but they all have strict rules they have to follow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cecebs Posted October 28, 2007 Share Posted October 28, 2007 In response to the Yankee Candle coupon policy- It is up to the store manager as to whether or not they will take expired coupons. It is not a company policy to accept or deny expired coupons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kristin0128 Posted October 28, 2007 Share Posted October 28, 2007 I work at a grocery store and we do not accept expired coupons. They get rejected at the clearing house and our store gets "fined" for each one. The reason the registers accept the coupons is because the scanners only read the coupons, NOT the DATE. The cashiers are expected to check the dates. At some stores the cashiers get in trouble for taking expired coupons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sadmom5 Posted October 28, 2007 Share Posted October 28, 2007 the cashiers at vons/safeway do get in trouble for taking expired coupons- it is up to the cashier to check it- but the manager at my store speaks with each one that takes one- it counts as store loss or theft!!

starbasset Posted October 28, 2007 Share Posted October 28, 2007 If anyone could use expired (10/20/07) CVS - $3/15 any purchase plmk - I have a few. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davephillyj Posted October 28, 2007 Share Posted October 28, 2007 I hardly ever use coupons at all, but I would sure ask and let them know it was expired first. I would hate to know it was "one over their limit" and I got them fired. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
samisma Posted October 29, 2007 Share Posted October 29, 2007 anyone know if expired coupons work in the self-checkouts at say frys, target, or walmart? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chartse1 Posted October 29, 2007 Share Posted October 29, 2007 I thought I missed out on using my Walgreen's $5.00 Register Rewards coupon I earned a few weeks ago. I had forgotten about it. I immediately went to the store and purchased something so that I could try using it. It scanned just fine. The clerk never noticed it was expired. I don't know if that would happen anywhere.

Steve Grasso Posted October 31, 2007 Share Posted October 31, 2007 I know the expired coupons work at the self check out at Giant Eagle. Also at Tops. All you have to do is try. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

monkey Posted November 6, 2007 Share Posted November 6, 2007 I am a manager for Linens and Things and we gladly accept any expired coupon from our competitors as well as our own. We use to have the 60 day policy but that was changed months ago. I have seen guest use coupons from as far back as 2005. You can use a coupon for every item you purchase if you have that many in hand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
