Winco News

I had stated last week that I would try to get to Winco and try to find out some coupon news. Well, I was just in there (Sprague) today and asked the nice lady at customer service (I can't remember her name)........

1.     Anyway, I asked her if, as a couponer, we could stack coupons (I explained what stacking was, using a manufacturer coupon in addition to a Winco coupon together for one item) at Winco and she said......................ready...............***YES***. She said that "we are starting to do that now."
2.     They DO take "internet" coupons. The only reason why they would not except it is if it does not scan, which is pretty common practice.
3.     I did ask if there was a way to get on their mailing list, so everyone could get their AWESOME coupons that come in the mail occasionally. She said that there was NO way that we could do that, as they don't have a mailing system. Apparently, they only send out coupons on "special" occasions as they do NOT advertise. She did say that the reason why we got those coupons last week in the mail was becuase it was a "special" occasion. It was the year anniversary of "our" store opening, and so that is why we got the mailer with all the great coupons last week.

There you go. I hope that information helps.

I also asked if there was a written coupon policy and there is not one, as this "coupon thing" is new to them.

Thanks!
