Big Update on Stop & Shop Coupon Policy
This policy is no longer in effect – Please see the updated coupon policy here
Wow, wow, wow! Stop & Shop shoppers you are in for a treat. A big treat!
The Stop & Shop Coupon Policy has just been updated. There are so many great things about it I don’t know where to start. Here are a few of my favorite changes:
BOGO Sales & coupons:
The best and most exciting is they address BOGO sales and BOGO coupons. And it’s a winner! I’ve highlighted it below but I’ll sum it up with the following:
1. You can use a BOGO Coupon on a BOGO sale to get both items FREE
2. You can use a coupon on the free item in a BOGO sale
Accepting competitor catalina coupons:
Another important change, which I also highlighted below, is they now except catalina manufacturer coupons from competitors. Note these are not “On Your Next Order” Catalina Coupons you receive from a deal but rather manufacturer coupons that print out of the catalina machines.
Internet Printed Maximum Amount:
And it just gets better with this update. They will accept internet printed coupons with a value up to $10. Most stores, including ShopRite, usually limit that to $5.
eCoupons Stacking:
And, for the last wonderful addition….eCoupons. You can use eCoupons with manufacturer coupons AND paper store coupons. Woohoo!
So, as you can see, this is an awesome update and I am very excited about these changes.
You can see the full Stop & Shop Coupon Policy here. And, we have it listed below. It will also be on our Stop & Shop Page under the Coupon Policy Tab.
