Store Coupon Policies
To avoid hassles and potentially embarrassing situations, it is always best to know the coupon policies of your favorite stores before you head out with your stack of vegan coupons. Most store coupon policies are pretty straightforward, but it is very common for cashiers - and even managers - to not be familiar with their store's coupon acceptance guidelines. I recommend printing out the coupon policy for each of the stores you regularly visit and stashing it in whatever you use to carry your coupons. That way, it will be easily accessible if you want to check on something before getting in line or if you need to pull it out during a coupon discussion with a cashier or manager.
I am most familiar with stores located in areas in which I have lived at some point, but I have tried to include a good selection of coupon policies for stores around the country. If I'm missing a store that you think I should include, please let me know!
