Albertsons is considered one of the most coupon-friendly stores around (it’s in 16 States, mostly in the South and West.) If you learn their policy, you can save a considerable amount during your weekly shopping trips.
Albertsons sales generally run from Wednesday through Thursday, with the Ads coming out on Tuesday or Wednesday. You can always pick up a copy of the ads at the store or on the Albertson’s website.
The first thing you should do is pick up a Preferred Savings Card. It’s FREE to sign up and you can do it right at the store. This is a must if you plan to shop Albertsons because sales prices are only good for people who use the card.
Once you have established a relationship with the store, you should print the Albertson’s coupon policy and study it. While this is updated information, a policy can change at any time.
Like any other store, Albertsons follows the stated requirements on the coupon, accepts only the original coupon (no copies) and can be used only once. Most of us know that already. Here are some things you may not know:
-Coupons that exceed the value of an item will be adjusted down to the price of the item.
-Rain checks will be issued for a store coupon unless coupon says “while supplies last”. If the store
runs out of item on sale – always, always, always ask for a rain check.
-Only one store and one manufactures coupon can be used on one particular item.
-Competitors coupons will NOT be accepted.
Albertsons internet coupon policy:
-Barcodes must scan
-Coupons for a FREE product without a required purchase are not accepted.
-You may not have more than one coupon with the same serial number.
-There needs to be a manufacturer address on the coupon.
Albertsons is also known for it’s Twice the Value coupons (also known as doublers). These are keys to getting all the free stuff. These coupons are store issued and are generally found in the Sunday Ads. You never know when they are going to be issued but most of the time you will get a heads up.
Twice the value coupons will match any amount of one manufacturer coupon that is $1 or less. The matched amount will be in addition to what you would already save. You must know that only three (3) twice the value coupons can be used per transaction.
Coupons that say Do Not Double (DND) will still be doubled with the twice the value coupon. But twice the value coupon may not be combined with other store coupons.
Again read the Albertson’s coupon policy to better understand the ins and outs of their
policies.
One more thing you need to know, Albertsons requests that customers do not exceed three (3) consecutive transactions. So if you are planning an extreme couponing trip to the store—make sure you fit everything in 3 transactions.
