Stomach Bug...

Have you gotten the stomach bug yet? I hope not! I have been sick these past few days and we are trying to prepare for a family wedding we have this coming weekend.

At this point my chances of even looking at a weekly ad are slim...

Sorry! I hope you all stay healthy!

Dillons Coupon Policy

I know many of you have experienced issues regarding internet printable coupons at our local Dillons stores. You have been told that Dillons no longer accepts these coupons. I have verified that this information is FALSE! These stores are, unfortunately, misinformed and are not following the Dillons coupon policy.

I have been in contact with some one from head quarters and she has graciously given me a copy of the Dillons coupon policy. I suggest you print it off and take it with you if you have expereienced problems at your local Dillons. If you continue to experience coupon issues at our local Dillons please email me and I will give you an email to contact Dillons directly about this. I have been reassured countless times that Dillons does in fact still accept printable coupons regardless of what certain managers are communicating to their customers.

Dillons Coupon Policy:

Vendor/Store Coupons

• The value of the coupon or coupons cannot exceed the price of the product that they are redeemed for. We do not give cash back on coupons.
• All coupons should be scanned. Manually keying a coupon is always the last resort.
• Vendor coupons must be limited to one per item.
• We double all manufacturers’ coupons everyday up to 50¢, regardless of what is printed on the coupon by the manufacturer.
• The customer may redeem together, one vendor and one store coupon on a single item.
• When purchasing items that are Buy One, Get One Free (50% off) customers may redeem one vendor coupon on each of the items.
• The customer must purchase the correct number of items as specified on the coupon. For example, if a vendor coupon is labeled as 50¢ off of two, the customer must purchase two of that product for the coupon to be redeemed. They would not be eligible to use another vendor coupon on either of those products. Items purchased on BOGO (50% off) do satisfy this requirement.
• All coupons must be presented to the cashier during the order. We do not refund coupons once the customer has left the store. Only exception being, the customer has forgotten to hand coupons to the cashier, or cashier forgot to deduct coupons from the order. When this occurs, bring the Customer to Customer Service. Customer Service must scan the Plus Card (so they will double), and scan each of the coupons. The coupons will be totaled and cash given to the customer.
• Loyal Customer Mailing coupons should be handled the same as any regular coupons.
• In the event that a customer presents an LCM coupon that states “Save $x on an order totaling x dollars”, but does not purchase the minimum amount stated on the coupon, please accept the coupon by doing a manager override.
• We do not accept photocopied coupons.

HOW CAN YOU TELL A VENDOR FROM A STORE

All vendor coupons will start with a leading 5 (ex. 5 10000 00035 1). Anything else is considered a store coupon.

Free Item Coupons

• No other coupons, vendor or store, may be used with a free item coupon.
• The checker must legibly write the value of the item on the face of the coupon.
• If the value of the item exceeds the maximum limit of the coupon, the checker must still write the max value on the face of the coupon.
• Free item coupons may be redeemed for items on BOGO (50% off). The value of the coupon will be the full price of the item. This will require a manager override at the register.

Catalina Coupons

• Catalina checkout coupons are designed specifically for the individual customer, based on the item or items they have purchased.
• Catalina coupons are intended for future purchases, and should not be used in the order they are generated.
• At the end of the order, Catalina coupons must be presented to the customer with their receipt.

Internet Coupons

• These may be accepted as long as the coupon will scan. Because of a security feature built into the coupon, those that do not scan should not be accepted.
• Internet coupons can be verified by going to www.printcoupons.com. This website verifies, the offer, expiration date, and print date.

Dillons: 2/24-3/2

Here are the best deals I see for the week. My goal here is post the items that I think you can get for less than shopping at Aldi because if you can beat the Aldi price you know it is a GOOD DEAL! Some items don't beat the Aldi price, but still might be a great price if it is name brand.

Please remember that that I get credit when you use the coupon links I provide for printing and loading. You can print coupon.com coupons here! You can also now load cellfire coupons to your Dillons/Kroger card here

**All prices with coupons assume the coupon has doubled**
Coupons mentioned are from SS, RP, GM or P&G coupon inserts from our local paper unless specified with a coupon link. To see which insert the coupon I mention came out of I recommend you visit this site here.

Catalina Issues?

Have you had catalina issues with Dillons or other stores? I am hearing of a few issues with catalinas not printing so I thought I would tell you what I know to be true first:

• You can roll catalinas. Meaning you can use a catalina to pay for products that are offering the same catalina back.
• There is not a "limit per card" rule. You can do a catalina deal as many times as you want.
• The catalina machines can often be out of paper and a cashier doesn't realize it. So if you are expecting a catalina back kindly ask the cashier to make sure the machine is working/loaded with paper.
  
• The catalina company will pull an offer w/0 notice even though it wasn't due to end because they feel the catalina offer is "to good of a deal" if coupled with a good sale... for example the current catalina deal for Purex is no longer working because the sale and catalina made for to good of a deal.
  
• Managers and store employees often do not know why the catalina didn't print nor do they know about current offers.

If you have issue with a catalina not printing you can always call 1-888-8coupon, option 3 and they will help you. Every now and then you might get a manger or customer service rep that fix an issue in the store, but don't get all heated if they cant... just call the number I just posted.

Also if you would like to keep up to date with current catalina offers you can ad this post here to your favorites!
