Does Meijer just always double coupons or is it only at certain times/days of the week, etc? I can’t find this information anywhere and sometimes have trouble finding store coupon policies for many of the places I shop. Does anyone know where I can get these? I’ve tried looking at their websites with no luck! Thanks!
In the Cincinnati area, they always double up to .50, and anything over .50 is rounded up to a dollar. They will only double the first two of any like coupons, the rest are at face value.
In KY, the coupon policy is at the bottom of the front page of the circular. I’d suggest looking up the ad on their website for your area…and looking at the bottom of the front page. It should be there!
I’m from the Toledo area and keep up with your web site cause its great!
Just wanted to let you know that the krogers add in this area is advertising super double coupons up to a dollar are doubled. $1.00 and $2.00 coupons are worth $2.00 and up are face value. Anyone outside of your area may want to check this out.

Does anyone know what stores are the most open to taking printable coupons. I tried to give one to the dollar store lady and I thought her head was going to spin off. Also I am seeing on craiglist.com some people trading coupons or selling them. Might want to check it out.

Hi, i love your site, i come here every day! I have a question though, i see this a lot everywhere, what is Meijer? do they have stores under different names? I know kroger does. I am the mother of 4 beautiful girls and need help shopping. Im running low on cash. Thanks again, any feedback would really help me out. If you get a chance, please check out my new website on how and where to get free baby items…That I am getting good at, but not the whole shopping thing, thanks

OMG, I don’t think Krogers in Cinti has done super double coupons in years! That would be great if they did that here.
LMKIA I have a question for you. What is the best way to use the coupon from Krogers that will give me $16 off any transaction of $160 or more. I know it has to be after plus card savings, but some cashiers let me use it and then take off other coupons I may have. Others say they have to use my coupons first and then if the total is still $160 then they’ll allow it. I don’t even want to spend that much at one time, but I just wondered what you would do. It seems like every time I get one they raise the amount that has to be spent. Thanks for your help.
No, it doesn’t have to be after other coupons. The store gets reimbursed for all of the coupons you are handing over, so that IS paying for the items. I see this all the time, cashiers looking at coupons as something the store is giving you for free–like they’re pieces of paper that go in the trash when you’re done with them. They’re not! There’s a reason why they go in the cash drawer with the money–because they are money for the store! A coupon is a check between the manufacturer and the store, saying that they will pay the store a specific amount written on the coupon.
So when you purchase $160 worth of items after your plus card, you should give your $16/$160 coupon first. Then your other q’s!
I have heard several people mention the $16 off $160 coupon at Kroger. Where is that from?
I love your site!
Thanks!
You get it in the mail. Every month or so they send out ‘customer loyalty’ q’s, that are specifically targeted for your shopping habits. If you’re not getting the q’s, make sure you are using your Plus card each time you shop. If that’s not it, go to the website and register your card, and make sure they have current address info for you!
Not everyone gets the $16/$160. Some get $6/60 and $7/70, and so on. I rarely have large runs at Kroger, so mine tend to be the $6/60. But I did recently buy a bunch of Cheerios products, so I got a q for a free box of Cheerios in mine!
And thanks for the compliment. I love writing for you guys!!
That makes sense why everytime I get that coupon the amount I need to spend increases. I am always spending at least $120 at Krogers each week (for only 2 people!!!). Well that’s changing now, so hopefully I’ll get getting those $6/$60. Who wants to spend $160???
Okay one more issue but this one involving Meijer. I went to Meijer today to stock up and the cashier made me feel so bad for using internet coupons. She had to get “mgt” approval to use them. And then to top it off, she wouldn’t take my mfr coupons that I got from Kroger a couple weeks ago. She even called the manager and I also got to speak to him and he said if it has another store’s logo on it, then they can’t take it. I tried to explain to him that this was a mfr coupon and not a store coupon but he still wouldn’t take it. It was so frusturating so I am just venting. I told him next time I would just cut off the little line under the coupon (not even on the coupon) that says Kroger. Have you had problems with this before? I went to the Meijer in Hamilton (b/c it was close and I was on lunch from work)…not a great one to go to evidentally. Thanks for listening:)
We all run into this from time to time. Meijer does accept competitor’s coupons, but its a YMMV thing. (for all the newcomers that’s Your Mileage May Vary) Are you sure you spoke with a mgr and not a customer service person?
They should not have needed mgr approval for the internet coupons. In the future, show them the unique codes on the coupon, and that each one is different. That’s the way the stores can be assured the coupons are not copied.
I’m sorry you were hassled! Hang in there–there are more (many more!) good days than bad ones!
