Does Vons Double Coupons

Coupon policies can be confusing and vary from store to store. Each supermarket chain implements a company-wide policy but gives each store management the right to enforce or change some of the specifics of its coupon policies. This leads to the question, "Does Vons double coupons?" The short answer to that question is that it depends on which Vons grocery store you shop.

Some Vons grocery stores do not double coupons. A Vons in San Diego made big headlines in the couponing community when it nixed the practice in 2012. The Vons headquarters' website says the company does double coupons up to 50 cents, but it's up to each individual store. That's why it's important to ask your local grocery store about its couponing policies. You might also ask a manager whether the store doubles coupons and ask him to put it in writing so you have it with you if there is ever a problem at the register.

Stores that no longer double coupons have disappointed many customers. Don't fret, though. There is a way to save big without a coupon doubling. You can still use two coupons for one product at Vons if those coupons fall under two categories: manufacturer's coupons and store coupons. The company does have a rule against stacking coupons, however, but using a manufacturer's and a store coupon still fall within the guidelines. Stacking coupons occurs when you try to use two different manufacturer coupons of different values on just one item.

Vons grocery stores have rewards programs. Customers can get a sales price on predetermined items each week with their customer rewards card. You can also use your rewards card to load up coupons by using an electronic coupon you can find online and saving it to your rewards card. Don't stack coupons electronically, which can be easy to do when using a mixture of electronic and paper coupons. The company watches for stacking offenses and will not allow you to double the same coupon for the same item. If it's an honest mistake, the store will take the greatest discount only. When you use your rewards points or discount with a coupon, you can save money on some of your favorite brands.
