Fred's Coupon Policy

**bamamomto4** · 03-03-2003, 05:44 PM

I finally heard back from the main office concerning their coupon policy. The manager was right in saying if the coupon exceeds the price it won't double..making the item free...what a bummer lol
I guess I should just be happy they double every Saturday. I do end up getting somethings ALMOSt free like those 49¢ baby wipes *hehe*

Here's the email I got............

I love Fred's!The first time I went there the girl didn't know how to ring it up and a lot of things I got they were paying me back for,she just typed in the amount on the coupon and doubled it.Haven't seen her since and didn't know of this policy,but yeah it sucks but hey its better than nothing.

Oh yea..I agree,It' better than nothing but I always hear of people saying 'I got this free because of double coupons' and I just thought Fred's did the same thing ya know?!!
I'm glad we have Fred's that double. There's one grocery store about 40 mins from me that doubles on Monday but IMO their prices are to high and I don't feel like I'm saving alot. (plus they only double to 99¢)

When I first started going to fred's with double coupons,they were doing them manual and never checked to see if it exceeded the price,and I did get alot of freebies.But now,they scan them and I guess the computer reads the price and if it exceeds the price of the product,it won't double.

I'll still continue to go. I just pay closer attention to the price of the item and what it'll be after it scans..making sure I'm getting the best deal even if it doesn't double

And hey-I still can't get over the Huggies wipes lmao
I said to dh tonight,while cleaning Jackson's room.... "Don't you just love this baby wipe stockpile I got.." He was like.." uh huh..I guess.." LOL!! Men just don't get excited like we do over a bargain lol

I have not been to Fred's since they opened up in the town I grew up in....
Some things I think they have good prices on and then some others I don't think there prices are that good on.
