Meijer has recently updated their coupon policy, so I wanted to be sure you knew all the details.
To be honest, when I heard their policy was changing, I was a little nervous to look at the changes. Meijer has been my favorite store to shop at, simply because they are so coupon-friendly.
The details of their updated policy are below. I have put in italics my explanation of what things mean when I think it would be helpful.
Meijer's updated coupon policy is below. I have highlighted the major changes I see in red and have given a short explanation under each one.
To print their official coupon policy, click here.
- Coupons must be presented on or before the expiration date.
- All coupon terms and conditions must be met and validated by the checkout register.
- Customers may use one manufacturer coupon (paper or digital) per item.
- Remember Meijer mPerks are digital coupons, but they are not Manufacturer coupons so this does not apply to those.
- Customers may also combine one manufacturer coupon per item with applicable Meijer coupon(s) where allowed under coupon redemption terms.
- Some mPerks digital coupons may state that it cannnot be stacked with a manufacturer coupon. Be sure to read the terms on each mPerks coupon.
- Transactions cannot be broken up to avoid coupon stacking restrictions.
- This is referring to their coupon doubling policy. They currently double 2 "Like" coupons per transaction. Looks like you won't be able to do 2 separate transactions to double 4 coupons.
- Separate checklanes will not be opened or designated for customers with large coupon orders.
- I usually use a lot of coupons at Meijer, but I have never had so much that they had to open a separate checklane. If this is you, just be aware of this.
- Manufacturer coupons and Catalina manufacturer coupons require the Customer to pay sales tax on the full retail amount.
- Meijer, Catalina, Meijer, and competitor coupons require the Customer to pay sales tax only on the discounted price.
- Meijer will accept coupons from major competitors in each store's trading area, for Grocery and or for Health and Beauty Care items.
- LOVE THIS! Meijer will now be taking competitor store coupons. Make sure that the competitor coupons to try to use are from local/regional stores.
- Meijer will accept coupons from major competitors in each store's trading area for General Merchandise items only if the competitor's price point is included. The item must be the identical item on the coupon for the match to occur.
- Meijer does not accept competitor coupons for beer, wine, liquor, cigarettes, double and triple coupons, clearance, percent off, total transaction discounts, special promotions, gift card promotions, limited quantity items, mail-in rebate offers, and going out of business sales.
- Meijer reserves the right to limit coupon quantities and to determine the order of applicaton of multiple coupons and/or promotions.
Here is some general information you may find useful in using coupons at Meijer...
- Manufacturer coupons up to $.50 off will double. (This policy is true for stores in Indiana. This seems to vary by state/region so be sure to check with your local store.)
- Only 2 "like" coupons will double per transaction.
- Example: Peanut Butter - $1.00
- Manufacturer Coupon - $.50/1
- You can use 2 of these coupons per transaction making them FREE. If you were to purchase 3 in one transaction and use 3 coupons, you would end up spending $.50.
- Meijer allows you to "stack" coupons.
You can use a Manufacturer coupon AND a Meijer store coupon together on
the same item. Great way to maximize your savings. (see more detail in
their policy)
- 2 websites to find Meijer store coupons
- www.meijermealbox.com - printable coupons (check out my previous post about how to find your way around this website)
- www2.meijer.com/mperks - mobile coupons
- Meijer offers "Custom Coupons". An example would be when they have a deal like "Buy 2 of a certain item, get $____ off your next order". A coupon for money off your next order will print off when you check out. A current list of their "custom coupons" is on their Meijer Mealbox website.
- When you can combine all three things here, you can save lots of money and sometimes even make money! :) (my favorite)
