Coupon Stacking
11/17/2009 at 10:09 PM
In some cases, depending on store policy you can 'stack' coupons.
This means if you have multiple coupons for the same product you can combine the value and discount your purchase. Not many stores adopt this policy.. but some do like London Drugs in Winnipeg.
Rules:
1) It can't be two identical coupons and must have a different UPC.
2) The combined value cannot exceed the price of the merchandise.
3) It must not say 'limit 1 coupon per purchase'
For example, if you have a $.50 coupon and $1.50 for the same product, they are clearly different coupons with different UPCs then you can combine them and take $2.00 off your purchase price as long as both coupons do not say 'limit 1 coupon per purchase'.
Loblaws policy allows for this, which means that Brandon Superstore will accept coupon stacking as long as you follow the rules. Now.. I've gone through checkout a few times and have been told that this is not permitted, well intentioned cashiers have been trained that it is 1 coupon per item.. but that is not the policy and if you run into problems get them to call a Manager or Customer Service over because the policy is clear.
I've had this confirmed with Superstore management. Also, you can combine the Superstore 'In-Store Coupon' with a manufacturers coupon.
Another bonus about shopping at Superstore is that they do 'price matching' which means if a product is listed in a competitors flyer.. you can have it for that price.
Hope this was helpful.
