I hope you all are finding it useful. I've been matching the sales at SF each week with the coupons we have. Now we have this great database, I hope you've had a chance to check it out! It does take some time, but I think the results are worth it! Check it out! http://www.afullcup.com/upload/store_matchup.php

I can't use any of the coupons from AFC. No stores in my area will take Internet coupons anymore. Giant, SF, Safeway, and SFW only take coupons from SmartSource, Redplum, etc.

Am I missing something here?

The matches are not only for IPs. It's a great resource because it lists what's on sale and what coupons are out there for it. Some of them may be IPs but others will be the ones from Inserts or Peelies or Blinkies. So if you click on the coupon in the Coupon Match-up it will tell you exactly where it came from.

It's a great tool.

Thanks for doing this Carrie!

Thanks, Linz. The links in the match-ups are not links to the actual coupons in most cases (except IP), but rather to information about the coupon.

Also, it is Giant's corporate policy to accept IP coupons, I haven't had trouble there and use them every time I shop. I would ask to talk to the manager, if that is the case, to get a better understanding of why they are not following the corporate policy.

This is Giant's policy from their website: Due to an increased number of fraudulent Internet coupons in the market place, Giant no longer accepts Internet coupons for free items. At this time we are still accepting Internet coupons for cents off. This change has only occurred recently. We realize that many customers receive these coupons over the Internet and believe they are legitimate. Unfortunately, in many instances they are not. Also, the manufacturers have told us that they won't reimburse retailers for them if we do accept them.

HTH!
