Dillons Coupon Policy Change Effective 8/30 UPDATE!

FINAL UPDATE: 9/1/10: Current Coupon Policy HERE

UPDATE #3: Check out the latest on the coupon policy HERE, it looks like this new policy was an error from corporate all along & was never meant to be issued to the Dillons stores! I’m waiting to hear back the full details from Dillons Corporate & will update with all the details later today! Thanks to everyone for all their calls to Dillons Corporate to try and get this all figured out!

UPDATE #2: Again, for everyone that has a Dillons store telling you that they are no longer doubling coupons over $0.50 (i.e. $0.55 to $1.00), they may have the incorrect information. According to information Lisa (see comments), I & others have received from Dillons Corporate Customer Service via phone 1-800-362-2183, ONLY store #300-325 are not doubling coupons over $0.50. Some of these stores that are enforcing the non-doubling policy over $0.50 may be getting the wrong memo/coupon policy. You can call Dillon’s Corporate number like Lisa did (thanks Lisa!) with the Springfield Battlefield location to make sure the correct policy is used. The Joplin location also appears to be straightened out and are now aware of the correct policy. It may take a few days to iron out all the details, but if we all stay on top of this, we can at least be sure to have the correct policies in place. Whew!

UPDATE: Ok, I finally got through to Dillons Corporate Customer Service & got further information:
First of all, most stores will have the same general policy, but each store can change the rules at their discretion. The person I talked to on the phone said that there should be a coupon policy at each store that the customer can view. I told him that that at my Dillons, they would not let me look at the coupon policy and he said they were incorrect in doing that.
In my region (Southwest Missouri):

  • The doubling will continue (ie $0.55 coupons will still double to $1.00, the customer service lady at the store told me otherwise with the new policy in her hand, but the corporate customer service person I talked to on the phone said this was incorrect. I guess we shall see!)
  • No longer accepting expired coupons
  • No longer accepting E-coupon with manufacturer’s coupons (the E-coupon will take priority over the paper manufacturer coupon)
  • Limit of IPs is at each store’s discretion, check with your store for their policy. If the coupon does not scan, it will not be accepted. Black & white IPs will also not be accepted. FREE IPs will not be accepted either.
  • With a BOGO sale, you cannot use a BOGO coupon to get 2 items free (sighhhh, I know, I know!) I tried to reason why this should be accepted, but no-go (in my opinion, it shouldn’t be a problem using a BOGO coupon on a BOGO sale. Here’s how I see it: The store is giving you one item free & the manufacturer is giving you one item free with the coupon. But, apparently Dillons doesn’t see it that way.

Now, please keep in mind, I am doing my best to get all of us Dillons shoppers accurate information, but your store’s policy may vary from the above. I HIGHLY recommend that you contact Dillons or ask to see the coupon policy at your store. If I can help anyone, or anyone has any questions, I’ll be glad to try and help. 🙂

I just got word in about drastic changes in Dillons’ coupon policy and I’m sorry folks, but it’s not good news. Here’s a few of the changes, effective 8/30:

  • Coupons will only double up to $0.50 (ie, $0.55 coupons will no longer double to $1.00)
  • Limit of 2 IPs (internet printables) per transaction
  • No longer accepting expired coupons
  • No longer able to stack Manufacturer’s coupons with E-coupons

Now, please keep in mind while I did speak to someone in customer service with the coupon policy in her hands, I have not yet been able to see the actual policy with my own eyes yet (I asked her for a copy, that was a no-go, she wouldn’t even let me look at it for myself). I have contacted Dillons about their new policy, when I hear something back in writing, I’ll update this post. You can email Dillons HERE or call them at 1-800-362-2183. Personally, I am very disappointed in this drastic policy change and I know I’ll be shopping at other stores more & Dillons less in the future.

Thanks to Stacey & Cathy for the heads up on this new policy!

So, I have been loving Dillons Mega Event Sale, it has added up to some huge savings! I shopped their 3 times this week and only had one snafu, which I’m not going to complain about because I got so many other great deals! 🙂 I had traded for some of the $0.55/1 Bumble Bee tuna blinkies awhile back thinking they would eventually be part of a Mega Event sale and I’ve been really happy that my Dillons was very well-stocked on Bumble Bee & I was able to use them all! Anyway, onto my deals (all prices are after Mega Event Sale prices):

So, I haven’t done a whole lot of shopping lately and I’ve been keeping it to pretty short trips. This 100-plus degree weather just hasn’t been very motivating for me. 😉 Anyway, I got in a short trip today, I plan to make a few more short trips to Dillons this week since there’s so many great deals this week. Here’s what I picked up today (note: all prices are after the Mega Event Sale wyb 8=$0.50 off each item):

Here’s the a list of what I see as the best Dillons Deals of the week with coupon matchups. If you’re unfamiliar with all the great things Dillons has to offer, check out my Dillons 101 post for more info here. Free Items after Coupons are Highlighted in Green. NOTE: Dillons is part of the Kroger Chain, so if you have any Kroger chain stores in your area, these deals should be very similar.

NOTE ON CATALINA DEALS: From what I’ve been reading on the web, the catalina deals haven’t been printing yet. Since Mega Event Sales generally last 2 weeks, personally, I would hold off on doing the catalina deals until next week’s sale or at least wait a few days. If I hear reports of the catalinas printing, I’ll post an update. UPDATE: It looks like the catalinas are printing now. However, if yours doesn’t print, you can email Catalina Marketing HERE or call them at (877) 210-1917. I’ve had the catalinas not print several times in the past & I’ve always gotten my catalina in the mail after calling or emailing them with my receipt information.
