King Soopers coupon policy as outlined above is what I've always been told: only 3 like coupons can be used. Today, hoping they'd give me a break, I asked if I could use 5 Honest Tea coupons ($.50/2) for the mega event when buying 10 Honest Teas. "Sure, that's fine," the manager told me. So, I mentioned this before my checker started ringing up my purchases. He said, "Oh, it's always been 5!"

When I got home, I called two other King Soops and got two different answers--3 and 5, with the the second person I spoke with telling me it's "a matter of clerk leniency." Huh? So, now I'm wondering what it is at the KS where YOU shop? I just shot off an email question to corporate, and I'm so curious about what they'll say!

They have a new policy now. 5 like coupon per item they change it back in Oct. Here in Co.

Yep, msv3rb is right! I posted my question on their FB page and got this response which I'm printing out and putting in my coupon box:

King Soopers Hi, Ladies! Thank you for your suggestion Carolyn! I agree we need to make sure we are all on the same page. Also, Kristen Key our new policy recently changed to 5 like items!! Good news for all our couponers!

Thanks again for bringing this up. When you did I emailed them asking for a copy of their policy and was their response.

Dear Valued Customer:

Thank you for contacting King Soopers regarding our Coupon Policy. Our coupon policy varies by division. The policy for stores in your area is as follows. Please note that this policy is our most current and it is subject to change without notice. For further clarification of this policy, please speak directly to store management.

The store manager has the right to accept, decline or limit the quantity of coupons or items used or purchased in a single transaction, by a single customer, or in a single day.

Manufacture Coupons
Manufactures coupons will be doubled up to 50¢ when the customer uses their SooperCard.
Coupons 51¢ to 99¢ will be redeemed for $1.00.
Coupons for $1.00 or more will be redeemed at face value. (No cash back).
Exceptions:
• Coupons may not exceed the value of the item.
• Limit one coupon per item.
• Limit three coupons of like items (like UPC) per customer
• Good only on items that King Soopers stocks.
• If the Double Coupon face value exceeds the retail price of an item the item will be free. (No cash back).
• Double coupon policy does not apply to:
o Free Coupons
o Cigarette or Tobacco Coupons
o In-store coupons.
o Coupons identified as other retailer coupons

Catalina and Web Bucks Coupons:
• Catalina coupons and Web Bucks coupons should be redeemed during the next shopping trip for the customer.
• Catalina and Web Bucks coupons may not be doubled.

Internet Coupons:
• Limited to "cents off" coupons and does not include coupons for free items. If there is any question concerning a specific coupon Store Management has the discretion to accept or decline that coupon.


* Internet Coupons / Print at Home (PAH) Coupons
* We do accept print-at-home (PAH) Internet coupons in our stores. We offer print-at-home coupons on King Soopers - Home.
* We do NOT accept "free item coupons" from the internet. If the customer has buy one get one free coupon, we will honor the coupon if the requirement is met.
* We will only accept two (2) Internet Coupons per manufacturer (only 1 coupon per item), per customer, per day. Example below:
* Customer purchases three (3) boxes of Kraft Mac-n-Cheese. The customer can only use an internet coupon on two of the boxes (one coupon per product), and they could use another internet coupon on Kraft Ranch Salad Dressing.
* We reserve the right to reject any internet coupon that is altered or does not scan properly. Call store management for assistance if needed.

* Best Practices examples for PAH coupons
* We will only accept printable coupons if they scan at checkout.
* We do not accept "FREE product" printable coupons with no purchase requirements. Buy-one-get-one-free coupons and other values that have a purchase requirement are acceptable but will be MUCH less common than traditional value-off coupons.
* We do not accept coupons for more than approximately 75% of a product's value without advance notice. Legitimate PAH coupons will not be for a high value related to the cost of the item. Example: a $2 coupon will be acceptable for a $5 or more, but a $2 off printable coupon for a product that sells for $2.25 is unlikely to be legitimate.
* Coupons may be denied if they appear out of proportion or blurry, or are obvious duplicates. Nearly all coupons are 'non-transferable' meaning they should not be photocopied or scanned and distributed to others.
* Coupons may be denied if they appear to have been altered in any way.


If you have any further questions on the coupon policy, contact the Customer Support desk at 1-877-415-4647, and they'd be happy to assist.

Sincerely,
