Coupon Policies


Meijer has become one of my favorite stores to shop at. They are very coupon friendly there. They also have a neat feature at their store called mPerks. Go here to learn more about mPerks.

Here is a copy of their coupon policy from their website:
Meijer Coupon Policy
Coupons are a great way to save extra money when shopping with us, and we have made it easy to use them at our stores.
When accepting coupons, Meijer uses the following guidelines:
  • We accept two kinds of coupons; Meijer issued coupons and manufacturer coupons.
    • Only one manufacturer coupon and one Meijer coupon for the same item will be accepted (unless prohibited).
    • Mealbox coupons are considered Meijer coupons.
  • We accept all valid internet coupons. See store for details.
  • We reserve the right to limit quantities.
  • If the value of the coupon is more than the price of the item after discounts or coupons are applied, the value of the coupon will be applied up to the price of the item.
  • We do not apply the excess value of a coupon to the order total if the value of the coupon is over the price of the item after discounts or coupons are applied.
  • Only coupons for products carried in our stores will be accepted.
  • All coupons should be given to the cashier while you're checking out and cannot be applied to a previous purchase.


Kroger has a store loyalty card. The Kroger Plus card. If you don't have one of these yet, it's quick and easy to get. All you have to do is go to the customer service desk and ask for one. You can use it in the same shopping trip, too. No activation waiting time. Once you register your Kroger Plus Card online, you can load Digital e-Coupons onto your card. Digital coupons are considered manufacturer coupons and can noy be combined with paper coupons. This is outlined in detail in their Digital Coupon Policy.
Kroger's paper coupon policy differs from store to store, district to district. You will want to call ahead and check to see what your particular store's policy is. As an example, I have Kroger stores from 2 different districts in my area. One district will only allow '3 like coupons' per day. Meaning, I can't go buy 10 bottles of ketchup and use 10 $.35/1 coupons for it. I can only use 3. Slightly frustrating when you're wanting to stock up, but good b/c it helps slow shelf clearers. :) This same district also allows doubling of coupons up to $.99. For instance, if you give them a $.50 coupon, you will actually get $1.00 off the item. If you give them a $.75 coupon, you will get $1.50 off the item. Coupons $1.00 and over are redeemed at face value. The other district in my area, however, still has the '3 like coupon' rule, but they only double coupons up to $.50. Coupons $.51-$.99, they will match up to $1. The $.75 coupon that is worth $1.50 in the other store, is only worth $1 in this store. In short, paper coupon policies vary greatly from Kroger to Kroger, so call your store and check ahead first.

Digital Coupons Policy
Customers choosing to participate in the digital coupons are required to have an active online account with a valid, associated shopper card. Kroger employees or partners are prohibited to set up or otherwise maintain an online account not specifically associated to that employee or employee household.

A valid shopper card or an alternate ID is required for the use of digital coupons at the time of purchase.
Digital coupons and offers are deducted from a customer purchase prior to paper coupons or any other discounts and cannot be added back or removed once card has been scanned.


  • Limit one use per digital coupon per transaction
  • Digital offers cannot be combined with manufacturer paper coupons on the purchase of a single item
  • Digital offers do not double
  • A limit of 150 coupons can be loaded per household at one time
The store manager has the right to accept, decline, or limit the use of ANY digital coupon or offer.
