If I print out a coupon, can I just make copies of it to use?

No, no, no!

Please don’t copy printable coupons from sources such as Coupons.com, SmartSource.com, RedPlum.com, and CouponNetwork.com. These coupons have specific coupon prints for each individual as well as overall prints for the entire network. In addition, each coupon is printed with security information that will allow the manufacturer to catch if it is a duplicate coupon. Your store will not be reimbursed for copied coupons and this could make stores change their coupon policies to disallow all printable coupons.

Can you tell me pls how can I “like ” different companies websites and them block their access to my profile?

Hey you want to get all those coupons without giving up your privacy! I totally understand that. There is a simple way you can block profile access by Facebook apps.

Go to Account – Privacy Settings.

Then scroll down to Apps & Websites – click on edit your settings.

Then you will get to the screen when you can remove apps – which I suggest doing every couple of months.

You can then edit individual app settings, remove the apps, and control access to the info accessible through your friends.

I love your blog. This is about the only place that I can find deals at Marsh written out for me! Quick question- Do you have trouble using internet coupons at Marsh? The few times I have tried they said they wouldn’t accept them. Even the Cheerios coupon from the Cheerios Challenge they turned down!

I have a very coupon friendly Marsh and haven’t had any problems. Someone usually has to come over and approve something though because any free coupons have to be approved by someone higher up. I laugh because I’m always a “problem.” I personally know many of the cashiers at my Marsh since I live in a small town so maybe that helps?

I would carry their own coupon policy with you! It tells what they will take and they even have a link to internet coupons on their home page.

Marsh Supermarkets has elected to accept all internet coupons excluding the following:

Photo Copies
$5 or greater coupons
Free Item coupons
Coupons purchased via online shopping sites
Coupons that appear to have been altered

Another tip if they won’t accept a coupon, ask for the manager. You don’t have to be nasty about it but be assertive and know your coupon rights. Usually managers are more informed about the coupon policies than cashiers. So it never hurts to ask for a manager.

If you still have problems, you might write a gentle letter to Marsh corporate and let them know the situation. I’ve found Marsh usually has excellent customer service.

It is always a good suggestion to carry the coupon policy for a particular store in your coupon wallet or binder. Just in case. I rarely have a problem with internet coupons.

Don’t forget about this great tip from Freebies4Mom about Smartsource printables & Know Thy Coupon, which described all the coupon terminology!
