SUCHaDEAL;126674809]Interesting visit today.

One of the head front end people flagged me down to tell me about the new EQ policy, smiled and told him I already heard.

Then he's telling me they are also changing the paper/internet coupon policy to ONE like coupon per transaction as well 5/5.

I don't know if he's confused, or he means only one Q will double or what. Hopefully just confused, but if by some chance the 1 paper thing is right, that's like insane already.

This store is part of the co-op out of Flemington, NJ.
That is interesting because it would greatly alter the dynamics of coupon usage and deals we get but would put SR at a disadvantage to their competitors who still take 4 like and those who double, double to 4 as well. I have SnS and SR close by and the manager of SnS who also lives locally claims their prices are way more competitive than their circular sales prices lets on because of many prices lower on the shelf.With these changes looming I believe for the first time Im going to spend an hour or so browsing the aisles and notating the prices of items we use for real comparison.
Should SR really become as harsh as mentioned here they would likely lose a lot of regular business[/QUOTE]

That was my first thought too, especially on the ONE like paper coupon max thing, which I still find kind of hard to believe.

Restricting coupon use to that extreme is really a game changer. Now granted, many EQ's may become limit 4 redemptions per card and that might be another factor in limiting paper Q's but since no one else but me has heard this apparently, we'll just hope he had his information mixed up and that's not happening.

Yes, it didn't require the barcode scan. I just tried it because it never hurts to try. 00841058020950 SKU. Schick xtreme 3 men's sensitive disposable 4ct

OK, I use android, had to do the barcode scan and was rejected. then went back and looked closely at the rebate offer and saw the 8 pack pictured. However, there was no wording that I could see that it was a specific size package, just the photo. wish they'd put the info there too so you aren't guessing.

Supermarket margins are very low, hopefully there will be other good savings ways to make up for the loss of the double dip.

But they are a company in business to make money, not pay people to come into their store and get items. This week alone there are about $10+ in mm items due to double dip. Multiply that by about at least 10K who read these boards and that is $100K in 'overage' free stuff handed out. I am a believer in the old saying, 'there's no such thing as a free lunch'.
How does that affect Shoprite? If we double dip... they get double reimbursed...

That's just it, I don't think that is happening. Manufacturers don't want to pay out two coupons against one product. Obviously there's something going on behind the scenes that is forcing this change.

So basically you have no idea and you are just guessing...

There is absolutely no way for the manufacturers to know who used what coupons and who double dipped...

There is a degree of common sense/educated guess here.

If what you say is true and the manufacturers were paying out left and right on double dipped coupons with no blow-back, why would ShopRite want to squelch sales at its stores. Something this change is guaranteed to do.

One thing I know for sure is that coupons redeemed (digital or paper) cannot exceed inventory in. Maybe that has something to do with it also, as the double-dipping was happening only with certain items. Also, it's just a fact that manufacturers simply want people to get a discount--but only one discount--on their item purchased. I think they were getting hit with a lot of extra redemptions on certain items. That's why S* got so tough--I didn't even get S* for stuff that usually still worked--Epic bars and Sprayway recently. Whatever--it doesn't matter now. We just have to do the best we can in my opinion.

I always assumed that Shoprite took the hit on the EQs. I can't imagine the manufacturer allowing double dipping. I also can't imagine a large company like Shoprite trying to put one over on the manufacturer.

If the manufacturer allowed that, then every supermarket would have done it.

I also can't believe the only 1 like Q. If Shoprite gets reimbursed, why would they care? Except for inventory purposes, which I think is the current reason for 4 like Qs.

There is no need to guess... you either know or you don't... you were saying Shoprite is handing out 100k in free stuff like you knew for sure they are gonna lose that much this week...

Guess who pays for Ibotta, Savingstar, Checkout51 rebates..

Yikes. My store is owned by same Owner (Joe C, CEO of Wakefern) and I hope that as usual, your person was misinformed. Makes no sense that would happen since all other NJ grocery stores double.

The inventory thing is true and back in the day some small grocer where I grew up in Brooklyn was arrested for claiming way more coupons than his small grocer could ever have sold but he was caught because of what stock he bought didnt add up.
But today despite the internet coupon redemption rates are no where near really high percentages (coupons available vs redemptions) so my guess is a large grocer like my SR sells way more product than coupons redeemed.
But it always gnawed at me about how could 1 item sold have 2 coupons claimed (ip and eq). So unless the manufacturers were giving leeway to SR, the store had to eat the eq.
Bear in mind a huge percentage of the grocers actual income comes from slotting fees from manufacturers. And the biggest manufacturers pay the most slotting fees because they can afford those fees better than small manufacturers/sellers. So maybe the stores ate the second coupon (eq) on a single item

Nope, manufacturers pay for the digitals, they are sponsered coupons like the paper ones.

You are being way too rigid. I gave it as a possible example of just how much this COULD be costing them if manufacturers are not fully reimbursing them for all the double dips. The math isn't unreasonable, I NEVER said it was 100% fact.

Fee for placing product in the most desirable spots, usually on eye level, on the supermarket shelf.
