SJSinNYC,
My SR read coupons very carefully (there’s a sign at the register that says to hand them over at the beginning of the transaction), but at least they take printables. I don’t shop there that often because they’re so strict it just feels a little stressful, but on some items they have the best regular prices and sometimes the best sales. My regular grocery store is much more coupon-friendly though.
havesomeseichel,
Nearly all coupons have a number code & matching bar code at the bottom. The first digit is always a 5 or a 9. If it’s a 5 then the coupon will double by default (if your store doubles coupons & according to their doubling policy) even if the coupon says “do not double” on the top. If it’s a 9 the coupon won’t double in any case.
