Kroger coupon question

[GatorMama]

The Kroger coupons that are mailed out to members of their card club that say "Manufacturer coupon" on them- do those double like other MFR coupons? If they're under the store's limit anyway?

 

[Derby4me]

No. I have never had these double even if they are under the limit ($.50 at my store). They're still nice though because they usually include coupons for store brand items, and usually include a free item or two. Happy couponing!

I know what the OP means, because I just noticed the two types of coupons this past Saturday.

In that bundle of coupons they mail, SOME say "Store Coupon" and others say "Manufacturer Coupon" at the top. The Store coupons are usually for Kroger-brand items, but the Manufacturer coupons are for things like Kraft. Target also does this in their mailers.

I'm kicking myself because I've been filing all of those mailed coupons under "Kroger" and letting some of them expire if I didn't buy the product. I might have bought some of those products elsewhere and not thought to look for a coupon because I don't look in my Kroger file when I'm at Harris-Teeter or Food Lion. (Which is, of course, what they want you to do - only buy at Kroger.)

I think the mfg. coupons do double at Kroger if they're under the price limit, but not the store coupons. I'll have to check my receipt since I used one just yesterday.


On a similar note, the mfg. coupons do not say that they can only be redeemed at Kroger, although the logo is at the bottom.

Does anyone know if you can redeem "Manufacturer Coupons" distributed by one store at a different grocery store?

I've used the manufacturer coupon ones at Meijer.

The store coupons I think say "do not double" on them.

 

[auntmeme7577]

yes, they will double the manufacturer coupons, store coupons are face value
I LOVE getting those packets!

 

[thebeesknees]

Huh, that's interesting. Mine doesn't double them, but it appears that other posters' stores do. Must vary by the store.

I use mine at Harris Teeter, with no problems. Used a few this week, during Super Doubles!

Good to know! Thanks! They're usually for such a small amount of money that they NEED to be double to be worth much!

Yep, it varies by store. Houston area Kroger stores stopped doubling and tripling anything at all anymore.

 

[MineMail]

Thanks all! I have to stock the pantry a bit and the packet included a double points coupon, so hopefully I'll get my coupon act together tomorrow and head on out.

Agree

The manufacturer ones do double at my store. I love those packets because I usually get a few that are for free items like lunch meat or a box of cereal. I think they send them out based on your buying habits because I almost always get a full packet of coupons only for things I normally buy.

Yes! I got SEVERAL free coupons this time! I usually only get eggs and Doritos, but this time I got those two, a LARGE Country Crock and a pack of Kroger lunch meat! I'm not sure that I'll ever be able to use that much margarine in my lifetime, but we do have a lot guests that will be here for the holidays so maybe I'll wait until it's nearly expired to redeem that one...

I've had a kroger card since they started program and I have never gotten coupon packets.

We just got our first one a few weeks ago. There were a ton of coupons, mostly for things I buy, plus coupons for a free case of water, free dishwasher detergent, and free Crystal Lite. I was so excited!

than who knows either I don't shop Kroger enough now ( good possiblity) or Dh threw it away.

We get two sets of coupons from Kroger. Not sure what the schedule is, always just happy to get them. One type looks more like a magazine and the other is more like a little envelope. The magazine is glossy and full color. I don't think the little envelope has full color. I've gotten free ice cream, frozen pizzas, and frozen veggies in the little envelope-along with mostly store coupons and things like $1 off $4 spent on produce (at Kroger). The magazine one has more manufacturer coupons.

I used to shop ALOT at Kroger, but it's been a while since I had even a half cart of groceries there, spending more $ at Meijer and Aldi.

Maybe you should check into whether or not your mailing address is correct on your account. If it is, I'd try to find out what's up. You're definitely due for some if you've had a card that long!

It's correct I just went thru a bunch of sites to update phone numbers and take off P.O. Box if it was on there, kroger had every thing right. I really think Dh may have "stashed" them somewhere that I'll find 2 yrs after they expire as he is good at keeping paper that he really doesn't need.

I have read that other people have been successful calling Kroger customer service and asking that they be put on the mailing list. I would be worth a shot.
