Commissary Coupon Policy

Well, I have had some questions about the acceptance (or lack thereof) of some of my coupons but now I have an answer for you all. One of my favorite websites, Hip2Save, just did a video shopping experience for all her readers at the commissary. I commented about the commissary not accepting my coupons that exceed the value of the item and she sent me the manual for training the cashiers. Here is the link that I would cut and paste to find it for yourself http://www.hip2serve.com/2009/10/does-commissary-provide-overage.html. It is on pages 45-48. On page 48 it states, 'Valid coupons will be entered at the value stated on the coupon. If the value of the coupon exceeds the cost of the product, the customer will be given the full value of the coupon.'

I am now armed with a printed copy of the coupon policy and will use it when necessary. My advice--print one out too and carry it with you. Let's be informed shoppers saving money rather than scared shoppers reluctantly using our coupons!
