trish – This policy is from experience and what is posted at the registers – I try to keep it up to date with changes. HOWEVER, I have spoken with Shaws and a company wide policy will be PUBLISHED and available shortly. I will be receiving a copy and will post it for people to print. It will also be available on their site as well. I will let you know ASAP.

Elizabeth – my understanding of the policy is 6 “LIKE” coupons will be doubled. They will double all your coupons as long as they are not the same coupon. There will be a documented policy from SHaws coming out shortly.

Cathi – some of it targeted to get shoppers in, so YES I do believe they see the activity on your card and send coupons to encourage people to come back. I do not think they look at coupon use, I think it is a matter of frequency of shopping and how much spent – BUT I could be wrong.

By: Lynn

Lynn — Fri, 20 May 2011 17:41:07 +0000

cathi – that has been store dependent and not clearly spelled out. Some allow it, some do not. There will be an official documented policy from them shortly.

I called my local Shaws today because I have been there many times but don’t ever remember them doubling coupons. I went through 3 people over the phone until someone could actually tell me what their policy was for doubling coupons. The woman on the other line said they’d only double six. Is this right?

Do you think the grocery stores/drugstores who use “rewards cards” track everyone? Especially regarding the people that use coupons..I know I used to receive more Shaws store coupons and I wonder if I get less now because they see me using coupons all the time and figure I am saving enough money?

Hi, I was wondering what Shaws’ policy is if there is an advertised buy one get one free sale..can you use separate coupons even for the item that is effectively free..for example, this week there is BOGOF on Lay’s potato chips. I have coupons for 55 cents off one bag..if I buy four bags..can i use four of these coupons or only two?

Anita, there is no limit to the amount of coupons that can be used. However you may only use one manufacture coupon and one store coupon per item. Typically the coupons will either say “manufacture coupon” or “store coupon” at the top to the left of the expiration date. Also there is a limit of six identical coupons that will be doubled. After the 6th identical coupon is scanned, they will be honored at face value. Last but not least, internet coupons worth $5.00 or more or internet coupons for free items cannot be accepted. This is only because we have been given too many fraudulent coupons that we had to change our policy. I hope this is helpful for you.

I work in the customer service desk at a Shaw’s store. We are very lenient with product returns and are happy to refund you for any reason. We ask that you have the item or at least it’s packaging when requesting a refund. However, if you return a product without a receipt, we will have to give you a merchandise certificate redeemable for items in the store excluding age-sensitive products. The reason we cannot refund cash without a receipt is because we do not know the payment method. For example, if the item was purchased with an EBT/ Food stamp card, it is against the law for us to give cash out. If the return is worth more than $10.00 w/o a receipt it will be subject to manager approval. I hope this is helpful for you.

Hi, I have a question about the internet coupons. I was at a store one night and the person at the checkout said there was a 5 PRINTED COUPON LIMIT (but of course she tried to claim that my coupons were fake because they were printed). Have you ever heard of this? Thanks

No, They don’t they no longer take competitors coupons.

Thanks Christina – I have found it hit or miss with other logos on a competitor coupon…

To further clarify Shaw’s manufacturer coupon redemption policy, I just called 1-888-431-7429 off the Shaw’s Web site.

Not all manufacturer’s coupons are alike. I recently received via US mail two very ordinary-looking manufacturer coupon’s on a national-branded products from a competing grocery chain in my area. When I went through checkout, the cashier refused them because they contained a small logo on them from the competing chain. That logo alone bumps them from “manufacturer coupon” to “competitor coupon” under the rules listed above.

Thanks Jane – I do have that link in all of my Shaws posts, but neglected to put it in the how to – thanks for the reminder…

Shaw’s has a weekly email coupon program – sign up and get emails with Shaw’s store coupons every week! The coupons are not manufacturer coupons, so they’re perfect for stacking!

Heather – the registers are programmed to automatically do it – BUT they can undo it IF it states Do Not Double on it. BUT it will only double 6 LIKE coupons – any more and they will be face value only – so split into another transaction.

By: Heather

Heather — Fri, 25 Feb 2011 01:27:42 +0000

Hi! I was wondering if when they double the coupons does the register do that automatically if it’s under $0.99? Or do you have to tell the cashier?

By: Lynn

Lynn — Tue, 22 Feb 2011 16:17:28 +0000

They double coupons up to $0.99 everyday (unless they state DO NOT DOUBLE on them – though sometimes they slip through). Then on occasion there will be DOLLAR DOUBLERS in the flyer where they will double so many $1 off coupons.

Is there a particular day of the week that Shaws doubles coupons?
Thanks for your great site!

Kelly – actually I will need to re-do this whole page as the gas rewards are ending at the end of FEB

By: kelly

kelly — Thu, 17 Feb 2011 00:54:37 +0000

I think they’ve since changed the gas rewards. Isn’t it .05 for $50 to $99 now? I’ve noticed a difference since I always relied on the rewards in this price range!

Kiki – Yes unfortunately they will be stopping that at the end of the month.

Regarding the save on gas portion – they will stop offering that deal at the end of Feb, 2011.

Hi Lynn,

Do you know about Shaws return policy? Can I return a product if I don’t have the receipt?

Thanks.
