Super Fresh Coupon Policy

I have been getting some questions from readers about using coupons at Super Fresh. I contacted Super Fresh to get their official coupon policy and I have also included my practical experiences using coupons at my local stores. If you have a coupon question and you can't find the answer here, let me know!

Super Fresh's official coupon policy:

- Manufacturer's coupons are accepted at face value at all stores with no limit to the number of coupons.
- Stores which double coupons can double up to 4 coupons for 4 like items. Coupons beyond this double coupon limit will be redeemed at face value. For example, if a customer purchases 5 cans of Maxwell House coffee and has 5 coupons, the store will double 4 coupons and redeem the 5th at face value.
- The amount doubled up to varies by location.
- Customers will not receive money back if the coupon value is greater than the retail price.
- Internet coupons are not accepted.
- Competitors' coupons are not accepted. Updated 3/26/09: It appears that at least some stores are now accepting competitors' coupons. Check at customer service to find out if your store takes them.


I believe most Super Fresh stores double coupons up to 99 cents. That means a 50 cent coupon is worth $1.00, a 55 cent coupon is worth $1.10 and a 75 cent coupon is worth $1.50. On special weeks when the store is tripling coupons, 50 cent coupons are worth $1.50, 55 cent coupons are worth $1.65 and 75 cent coupons are worth $2.25. Coupons labeled "Do Not Double" will not be doubled or tripled.

In my experience using the self-checkout, sometimes coupons will double or triple beyond the cost of the item (so you get it free plus some overage) and sometimes the register only doubles it to the cost of the item (making the item free). When I use the cashiers to check out, I have have had them catch the register giving overage and manually change it to erase the overage.

Super Fresh publishes store coupons in a magazine called Easy Solutions. The magazine is usually available at the check out counter or with the sales fliers. At my local stores, I usually have trouble finding copies. You can also view the booklet online, but you cannot print the coupons from the internet. The store coupons can be stacked with a manufacturer's coupon. This means that you can use 1 store coupon and 1 manufacturer's coupon on the same item for extra savings. The store coupons usually have a limit of 1 per customer.

Yes, that is the Super Fresh coupon policy.

For the shopping week beginning June 5, 2009, Super Fresh is offering triples, plus the 10 percent employee discount pricing must clip coupon, plus honoring all supermarket competitors "in ad" couposn, plus bonus bucks plus red tag savings. How can you beat that?
