APPLY MY OVERAGE PLEASE AND THANK YOU!!!


I want to give a huge thank you to Heidi Bobier - Social Media Coordinator at Albertsons
for allowing me to be apart of this amazing change!!


 There has been several blogs with rumors of changes, and I am not about
to add to that madness! 

I am only 1 of 4 blogs that have been given this information directly from Albertsons
with the promise that I would release it at a certain time.
You can rest assure that this information is the REAL DEAL!
Again, a huge thank you to Heidi for picking me to participate.


Normally when we here "Policy Change" we all cringe with fear!
Oh No, what now? 

Don't be scared, I promise this is a good one! 
I am so excited to have have been apart of this and get to share the news first hand!


Official Statement from Albertsons:
At Albertsons, we’re always looking for ways to help our customers save money, whether it’s through new, lower prices on produce or providing a coupon policy that allows our shoppers to stretch their dollar even further. We’re excited to offer some clarifications as to how coupons can be accepted at Albertsons locations in the Intermountain West Region, many of which address questions our cashiers receive everyday about Buy One Get One offers or how to redeem our popular Twice the Value coupons. We hope these changes help clarify how coupons will be accepted at all Albertsons Intermountain West locations, ultimately resulting in an easier, more efficient checkout process for our customers.


THIS NEW POLICY TAKES EFFECT TOMORROW 12/17!!


HERE ARE THE 3 LARGEST CHANGES YOU NEED TO KNOW:
Click Here to view and print the New Albertsons Coupon Policy!

  • ALBERTSONS WILL ALLOW OVERAGE!
    • Coupons that exceed the retail value of an item will have the remaining amount applied to the balance of the transaction.
    • In the event a transaction balance results in a "credit", additional items WILL be added/suggested to the order to utilize the remaining value of the coupon.
    • Albertsons will not provide any "cash back" on coupons; however we will provide full redemption value.
  • YOU CAN USE A MANUFACTURE COUPON WITH A B1G1 SALE!
    • Albertsons offers of Buy One, Get One Free (BOGO) promotions in their weekly advertisement can be combined with Buy One, Get One Free manufacturer coupons to result in BOTH items being Free.
    • The items in the manufacturer coupon must exactly match our weekly advertisement offers and meet the redemption criteria.
  • TWICE THE VALUE COUPONS ARE CONSIDERED "STORE COUPONS"

    • Albertsons will accept ONE manufacturer coupon and ONE store coupon on the same qualifying item.
    • Twise the Value coupons are considered a Store Coupon!
    • Meaning, you can not use a store coupon + a manufacture coupon & Twice the Value coupon.  You will need to pick either store coupon + manufacture or Twice the value + manufacture!
Everything else in the policy is pretty much the same.  Just better verbage to keep everything clear! 

I am so excited that Albertsons will be going back to how they opperated when I shopped there for TLC's Extreme Couponing!

REMEMBER: This new policy does not take effect until Saturday, December 17th!

I suggest you print this new policy out and have with you at the store.  Please be patient with your cashier, this is a new change and with new changes comes adjustment times!  We are all going to have to get use to this one and it will take your cashier's time to do the same!

  4. One thing readers need to know... manufacture coupons that have any company logo on them at all are no longer accepted at Albertsons. I printed the Buy 2 Get 1 Free Ritz cracker coupon from coupons.com and it had a "Redeem at Walmart" logo on it and Albertson's will not take these anymore. They are not considered "competitor coupons."

    If this is just my store, I would like to know. Anyone else run into this problem?
