The Houston area Randall's are going to be stopping their double coupons soon. The customer service gal didn't know how soon, but she said it was do to coupon fraud. Now what do we do? This really sucks!!!!!!

Sorry to hear that. Here in So Cal, Vons used to double every coupon and then some years ago just stopped. Now they double only the first one. I think these Couponing shows on TV are hurting us.

I've never seen a store that doubles, you've been lucky
As long as you still use coupons, you'll save money. PUt a positive spin on it...look at how much you've saved in the past

A friend of my daughters works at a Safeway near us. My daughters friend told her that 14 people were fired because they were involved in coupon fraud. I only shop at grocery stores that double coupons. Hope Safeway doesn't stop doubling.

First Kroger here, now Randalls? Geez... I just switched stores and now I have to switch again. I have to say this though, compared to where I used to live, I have noticed ALOT more people using qs. I mean, I go to the stores on Sunday/Wednesday (depending on the store) and the shelves are wiped out already for the really good qs/sales. I could wait a few days where I used to live, then go to the store and they would still have plenty of stock. There must be a ton of couponers here. I can see how percentages would go up here for abuse because there simply are so many more people using qs. It seems like everyone I see has at least 2 in their hand at checkout. I hope any of that makes sense... my brain is tired

That SUCKS.

I wouldn't get too worried because it might not happen. Nine+ times out of ten that someone hears one of these gloom-and-doom predictions from someone at a store, the dire scenario never comes to pass. Seems like the employees -- even managers sometimes -- are very subject to rumors/fabrications. But it sure wouldn't hurt to call Randalls' corporate office and let them know how much you like the double coupons and hope they continue it!

Oh good grief.

Randall's hasn't allowed more than one doubled/tripled coupon in years. How much fraud could they possibly be experiencing? They'll jump on the Kroger bandwagon and that will be that.

What to do? PM @ walmart (keep your flyers with you), and use higher-value coupons wherever the sales are. I think Target PM's as well.
