This is a SAD day for me and I will assume many of you. I got confirmation in today’s ad that Kroger will no longer double or triple coupons beginning September 14th! Wow, no heads up from anyone on this one.
Here is what the ad says…
“We gladly accept coupons. Manufacturer or digital at face value. Beginning September 14 we will no longer double or triple coupons. See store for details.”
This is going to change a lot for those who use coupons. Will you consider shopping at Tom Thumb and Albertsons instead now?
Kroger has always been my store of choice because of their coupon policy and on average the prices were better than their competitors.
Albertsons, Tom Thumb and Brookshires (Forney Store) are still offering double and triple coupons. Tom Thumb and Brookshires will only double one like coupon. Albertsons was doubling up to 4.
My advice- check your pantry- check your coupons and stock up on anything that you may need.
What can we do? Let our voices be heard! You can call…

There is a website called Bring Back Doubles after Kroger eliminated double and triple coupons in Houston. Get the word out to the media, share your thoughts on Facebook and contact your local Kroger store to share your unhappiness. Maybe as a collective voice we can help them understand how important their store has been to us in the past and how this might change the way many of us shop!
Stay tuned as I’m sure we’ll hear more on this matter!
Many of us coupon as a way to provide for our family, I guess my hard earned money will go elsewhere!
Kroger was my favorite store.But I guess know I have to go to Albertsons and TomThumb.I do think that Kroger are teassing their custumors because they had their part in EXTREME COUPOING too and now suddenly they don't double/triple anymore.What a tease?
I'll price match more at Wal-Mart. Tom Thumb is too expensive to start with, wouldn't bother going there except for super discounts, which they never have because they run out quickly. Albertson's the samething.
Kroger's on the other hand will still be cheaper (except for Wal-Mart) on their advertised items. And Aldi's just opened up 3 blocks from me for those "run in and run out" items.
Nothing to keep me shopping in Kroger without. I will most likley go to Wal-mart and price match. I did my part, sent an email to corporate.
Whats painfully amusing about them stopping is that Walmart is in the middle of testing double coupons in different territories.. So when Kroger stops, guess who is going to step in and take all their coupon customers… Yup Walmart is cornering the coupon market..
