Thank you everyone for posting your great blinkie finds.

There are a couple things to remember when posting your blinkie finds here at AFC. Please make sure to include all the important information such as:

• product information
• expiration date
• store that you found it at
• whether it is a store or manufacturer coupon
• can it be doubled?

This helps your fellow AFCers organize their shopping trips and for easy transfer to the coupon database.

Thank you so much for helping to make the blinkie forum at AFC a great place!

Blinkie's are the coupons that come out of the little machines ( with the little blinking lights) found near certain items in the grocery store.

How do you know if it can be doubled?

If the coupon barcode starts with a 9 then the coupon will automatically not double. A manufacturer may also print on the coupon that it is not to be doubled. HTH!

The coupons are in the machines for 4 weeks. Sometimes they will holdover the coupon for another 4 weeks. Not all stores or chains will have the same coupons. So you need to check them often. The machines can hold over 300 coupons.

I've never noticed these before. Can someone tell me if these are in any of the larger markets, such as Target, HyVee, Walmart or any others? I'm very new to this and trying to learn as I go. Thanks!
