My local grocery store has just posted a sign that they will no longer take internet coupons. How crazy and crappy is that? Most times there are no coupons in the paper so I print a lot of internet coupons off. I told the manager that I would no longer be shopping there. I will shop in the town I work in.

That is a bummer. I know a lot of grocery stores are changing their coupon policies now. Do you think it might have to do with everyone getting in on the coupon craze?

Certainly go to another store that accepts internet coupons. Their loss! Maybe if everyone stops shopping there they will start accepting them again. I bet all the fake internet coupons is a reason they are no longer accepting them.

I am sure I would end up swapping stores too. I am thankful that every store manager we have (except one) loves coupons. I have never had a problem before but if I did I would not have an issue swapping stores at all.

I've heard that stores can only be reimbursed for a certain number of coupons from the manufacturer. If that's the case then I guess it makes sense but it is a shame. A good opportunity for the merchant who is willing to lose the few cents on an item though.

There are a lot of fake coupons out there and some stores end up losing out by taking them because they don't know what they are looking for. It stinks, but I wouldn't have an issue swapping stores either. I probably get 90% of my coupons online.

I didn't even realize that fake coupons existed! That is a bummer because using coupons is a great way to save money! Maybe manufacturers should move towards making a coupon app for your phone, or maybe one exists already?

Crafty I am pretty sure there are coupon apps out their like Cellfire. I am pretty sure Kroger just introduced a new cell phone/coupon type app as well. So far everyone here still takes them, but a lot of stores make it a pain in the rear to use them.

If my store did that I will find a new store. Just today I printed out new ones that I am planning to use this month and in March. Its not hard to find a new store.

Well, that kind of depends on where you live I guess. Some towns have several major chain grocers, but others do not. My husband works in a town with an Ingles and a mom and pop store. Mom and pop doesn't take coupons at all, and Ingles has one of the worst coupon policies of any chain. If it is at least a half an hour drive or more to the nearest "big town" you have to weigh whether the savings are worth the expenditure in gas.
