I did a search and did not find this in the Lowes Foods Forum and wanted to post. I just read on a local forum in NC that Lowes Foods Coupon Policy has changed. I checked the Lowes Food site and sure enough it has.

Here is the run down.

*Changes to policy have been noted in BOLD*


::Manufacturer Coupon Policy::

Lowes Foods welcomes legitimate manufacturer coupons when the following requirements are met:
*Coupons must be in date.
*Coupons must match the item(s) purchased.
*Coupons must be presented at the time of purchase.
*To ensure product availability for all customers, we limit redemption to 4 coupons for 4 of the same item. For example, if you have five coupons for a specific cereal and have purchased five of the item, we will honor the coupon for up to four of the boxes of cereal.
*All sales taxes are paid by the customer at the full retail value of the item.
*Coupon value cannot exceed our retail price of the item; no cash back will be awarded.

::Double Coupons::


*We will double up to 20 manufacturer coupons with a face value of $0.99 or less every day.
*No minimum purchase is required.
*Manufacturer coupons for FREE items or Buy One, Get One FREE items will not be doubled.
*Any manufacturer coupon that states “Do not double” will not be doubled.
*A doubled coupon will not be honored if the doubled amount exceeds the retail or sale price of the coupon item. No cash back will be awarded.

::Other Coupon Promotions::

From time to time, our manufacturer coupon promotions will be enhanced. For example, we may offer our customers the opportunity to triple their coupons. Special promotional opportunities will be featured in our circular or on-line.

::Internet Coupons::

We gladly accept legitimate internet coupons. However, there has been a growing number of fraudulent internet coupons in the marketplace. We are committed to protecting our customers, manufacturers and our company against this illegal activity. Therefore, Lowes Foods will practice the following guidelines for internet coupons:

*We will only accept printable internet coupons if they scan at checkout.
*We will not honor FREE Product coupons printed from the Internet.
*We will accept Buy One Get One FREE and other values that have a purchase requirement.
*We will accept internet coupons that have an expiration date. If no expiration date is visible, we cannot accept the coupon.
*Coupons will be rejected if they are distorted, altered or obvious duplicates. Coupons are non-transferrable, meaning they should not be photocopied or scanned and distributed to others.
*Coupons have unique serial numbers printed on them and follow industry-standard format. Any presented coupon that does not follow standard format will not be accepted.
*Internet coupon limits are the same as manufacturer and store coupons.
If you have any questions on the standard format of internet coupons, you can verify at Coupon Resource Center.

::Store Coupons::

In order to redeem store coupons, a Lowes Foods rewards card must be used.
Store coupons must be in date.
All limits and purchase requirements must be followed.

Competitor’s Coupons

*We gladly accept local supermarket or supercenter competitor’s circular or direct mail coupons for dollars off the entire order. (examples include Food Lion, Harris Teeter, Bi-Lo, Kroger, Super Target, Super K-Mart, Wal-mart)
*We will not accept any competitor coupons for specific items. For example, we will not accept a competitor’s coupon for $1.00 off of an individual item.
*Purchase requirements must be met.
*Coupon must be in-date.
*We will not accept any type of internet coupons from any other retailers.
*We will not accept any type of competitor coupons from drug stores or club stores.
*We will accept Catalina Check-out Manufacturer coupons from competitors as long as they are in date, all purchase requirements are met, and they scan.

My stores have done it this way for the past few years. Has everyone elses been different? The register still doubles coupons that state do not double, or at least they did this past weekend.

they did for me to on sunday, maybe they changed today? my hubby works for them, but hasn't heard anything else about it yet, but hasn't worked since sat night, so no clue yet...will post when I know for sure

My store has been like this for a while too. Thanks so much for posting this great information.

I will make this a sticky.

I was so sad last week when the manager of my store told me of the changes. It was so nice to use more than 4 like coupons. I also loved taking the Target coupons there and stacking them with manf. coupons. It made for some wonderful deals. No more
