All of these Fisher Q’s say NOT subject to doubling in the fine print!
Will they still double them?

@ Sarah Beth,
The store does get reimbursed for both coupons when combined with a bogo free sale. When a store submits the coupons for reimbursement they have to send in a log of how many were sold vs how many coupons they took in. If they do this via paper then they have 6 months to send them in. If they do this digitally then they have 30 days to send them in. The manufacturer looks at how many registers the store has, hours of operation, etc…. in order to get an idea what they think the store should be sending in for redemption. If the numbers are off it is a red flag for the manufacturer to look into it further. Another red flag that manufacturers look for is if a large quantity of the same items is purchased in the same transaction. This indicates that something may be being bought for the purpose of re-sale. If some of the coupons are found to be wrong in what the store sent in, it is treated as a whole. The store will not be reimbursed for any of them.

Most bogo sales are not really bogo sales at all. A lot of times it is a 2 for sale disguised as a bogo. Nobody would really ever pay $6.00 for one thing of bacon. Put it on sale bo @ $6 go free, and then it is a deal. I have never had a problem using 2 coupons on a bogo.

The things that happen at my local Pick N Save are a lot different than what is posted on here, though. I still come on here because I like the list that Carrie posts. Thank you for posting the lists earlier too!!!!

Germantown, WI
$25.00 total is based on sale price.
Coupons that say do not double will automatically double if they start with a 5
Coupons that start with a 9 will not automatically double, management can okay to have it doubled, though.
They will price match the West Bend ad
Free internet coupons of ANY kind, including bogo internet coupons will not be accepted.

Did really good this week myself. On Wednesday I had 2 transactions and spent only $21.33 and saved a total of $47.93. Today I had another 2 transactions and spent only $23.00 and saved a total of $45.69. For a grand total this week of spending only $41.33 and a total savings of $93.62. Not to shabby.

My Eagan store does still take DND and does double them. When I am officially told by a cashier they no logr accept them, I will discontinue using them. Today, I found only 3 of the SChick razors (very well hidden) left at 7:30 a.m. Sunny D smaller bottles were 10/10 and I used Sunny D 25./1 Q from 02-07 SS.

Alicia,

I realize that it is their company policy not to double coupons. I don’t believe that employees are getting fired for letting them double. People like to talk and make stories.

I went to Rainbow this am. only doubled 5 coupons. That’s great though, because they let me split my cart into two transactions anyway.

I couldn’t find the schick razors. the only ones i could find were over $5. bummer.

I was wondering what everyone thinks though, as far as if you have a dnd coupon, and you want to use it at the face value. so you stick it at the bottom, but it still rings as doubled. b/c even at face value, if the item is on sale and you need it, a buck off is great!

but how can someone get fired for that if it’s the computer automatically doubling and not the cashier? that doesn’t seem fair at all.

happy shopping and thanks Carrie for the great website!

Thanks for the pet supply replies! I did do the Target cat litter deal and while I was sad to only have one coupon I did okay. Fortunately, I was able to pick up 4 free boxes of band-aids at the same time so that kept me happy. We will check out the recommended stores and I am sure I will soon run across some good sales and be saving money.

Nevermind, I am so silly. The coupon is off of two items…also, I am unsure whether it would work for the nuggets. I too have poster’s remorse.

I forgot to write that once you send your email address, the coupon starts to print on it’s own.

On-Cor Chicken Nuggets (28-35oz) are on sale this week for $3.99. I found a coupon at
http://www.on-cor.com/oncorfamily/home.html
for $0.75 off (can be doubled), for a final price of $2.49.

I guess I really don’t understand how they lose any extra money. They only get reimbursed from the manufacture for the amount on the coupon. If the coupon says $1.00 and do not double they get reimbursed $1.00. If the coupon says $1.00 and nothing about doubling they still only get reimbursed a $1.00.

They always eat the $1.00 they give you.

I want to say this was an old email. Maybe a month ago. I didn’t contact her directly. This was just who the response was from. It happened to be this Christine. Maybe she’ll figure out that all the stores are not on the same page and do something about it.

I highly recommend Chuck and Don’s for cat food and litter, if you live near one. Visit their website for info on all their incentives.
