Coupon Policies...

Sarah, aka athriftymom, has done all of the hard work of calling each of the area stores and finding out what their coupon policies are and has compiled this list for us! She notes that a lot of times the cashiers don't even know what their store's coupon policy is, so it's very important to know and understand this info, so that you can be an educated coupon shopper. Always be courteous to your cashier, but also stand your ground and ask to speak with management if they try to tell you something different than what their coupon policy states. Remember that coupon policies vary by region and can change without notice, so keep that in mind!
