    Red face Coupons stopped doubling after 6..

    had to do a second transaction to get 4 more bags of the steamfresh veggies that are on sale this week.
    Free after coupon.

    The cashier at u scan had to call the manager because they had stopped doubling and she didn't know why.
    Mr. Manager gave me a hard time about those coupons doubling, he tried to tell me the coupon policy at bi-lo was to not double coupons for items that were on sale. Brought up some coupon fraud about the tony's pizza's from last week, how it was fraud and he didnt allow anyone to double them. Trying to compaire the two, but the difference is steamfresh coupons do not say no doubling, the tony's did.

    They had a huddle at their cashier pulpit and they decided to allow me try and do a second transaction because they were positive they wouldn't double, but they did, and the four bags of veggies came to .04.

    So, I guess this long story is to say don't use more than 6 at one time.

    I don't have a BiLo, but the Uscan at Giant Eagle has coupon limits different than the checkout lanes. Limit of 2 like coupons per order (checkout lane is 4), no coupon over $1.99, max number of coupons per order. Maybe the problem lies with the Uscan limits.

    I had the same issue when Bi-Lo had the BOGO deal on the Bertolli pasta sauces months ago. Bought 8 jars and had .40/1 q that doubled, but noticed that qs only doubled up to 6 qs. I discussed with the manager and she explained that certain manufacturers set a limit on the number of their qs that will be allowed to double. She allowed me to return jar #7 & 8 and then do a second transaction using 2 more qs. I only use 6 doubling qs for certain item and then will do another transaction to complete my purchase. Had to do 3 transactions for the Tony's pizzas so that all were free. Learn something new everyday.

    Cool

    The Bi-Lo in our area; Clarion, PA won't let you use more than 4 coupons for the same item. So, if you want more than 4 of the items then you have to make several trips. Totally useless as it is okay to go out of the store and put groceries in car and then come back in and do another purchase; what is the point?

    I think the Bi-Lo Q policy states you can only purchase 4 items with Q's at a time. I could be wrong. I know HT is like that.
