They were at one of the register's where they had the refrigerators with all the 20 oz sodas and other drinks. I even asked each commissary specifically if they will accept them or not. Hickam had only 2 left and Kaneohe had a good amount.

It seems to me the commissary is the one place where for the most part we have the BEST coupon Policy and can really take care of our families well.

I dont normally tell or even ask people not to do whatever it is they try to do unless I gave birth to them. WTS: Please do not use internet print coupons for totally free item. It is clearly a no no per the policy. The commissary does not want them period. With that said, there is no reason to pass banned coupons to the commissary we have it great with their policy as it is.

If we dont adhere to their policy and protect what we have then what good are the sacrifices all of our families have made in order for us to enjoy them?

PS just because a unknowing cashier took them doesnt make it ok for us to use them there.

Well, now I know not to just take some people's word for it then. Some people said yes and others said no, that is why I asked them because I didn't know what the policy said on that matter. With that said... I will ask questions here first if I'm unable to locate it in the policy Honest mistake.

Is it just the IP's they don't accept or any in general?

Yes just the IP's because they are too easily copied, a coupon from the paper or the Man. for a free item is okay. Like say a free 20 oz coke when you redeem your coke rewards. That is ok

Thank you for asking a good question. That is why I started this thread. ANY QUESTION is good to ask. Trust me it will help so many people out because I am sure many other people have the same thought or question.

Trust me I get pms sometimes from members where I made a mistake or used a q wrong. I LOVE it!!!!!!!! Everyone will occasionally use a q wrong or by mistake on the wrong item. I LOVE when they catch my mistakes and call me out. I know if I am doing it wrong so many people wil see the post and do it as well. We have to help each other out.

We do have a WONDERFUL policy for the commissary and we have to follow. I have been doing this 6 1/2 years and know the policy and could probably write most of it out from memory I have read it so many times. Which means I probably do not know some of the thoughts/questions newer coupon shoppers have. Just like if I tried to go shop at Krogers (closest one is 2 hours away) I would probably have tons and tons of questions about their coupon and store policies. PLEASE ask away.

Keep the questions coming. And those of you that are helping out THANK YOU. You are wonderful!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Check out my new blog:

I'm thinking of giving my mom a bunch of Qs to use on free stuff at SJAFB - how coupon friendly is that commissary. She will not fight an issue so I guess I'm asking will she get the overage without any problems?

Yes this is one of the greatest places to learn also to find out about deals we would have missed otherwise. I visit the commissary forum everday so I dont miss anything I have couponed most of my life and I do believe I have saved more in the commissary in the last few months using coupons than I have in my whole commissary "couponing career"

They accept internet print just not for totally free item by itsself.

I love your boys names.

lol Thank you. We obviously love them too
