Dollar Tree Updated their Coupon Policy!!

So, it's been almost six months since Dollar Tree started taking coupons!! They tried it, it works for the customers and now they've decided to update their policy!! For the full policy, click here (go to the bottom of the page): Dollar Tree

The biggest changes I saw were:

They mapped out the IP (Internet Printable) policy clearly. Very good. Here are the highlights:

• We accept up to two (2) Internet Coupons per household per day.
• Duplicated (photocopies) Internet Coupons will not be accepted. Each Internet Coupon must have a different serial number.

Additionally, I like that they added benefits for the regular coupons. Again the highlights:

• We accept coupons for over a dollar on a single item. The coupon value will be reduced to the purchase price of the item.
• These guidelines apply to all coupons accepted at Dollar Tree (Manufacturer and Internet Coupons)

I wish all stores were consistent with the above before...I would have gotten many more of my FAVORITE Olay Beauty Bars!! I digress...

These changes are good and I always love clarity, BUT one thing I wish they would have addressed was the $/2 coupon. When I go to my area stores, they tell me I can't use the coupons for Gain, Uncle Ben's Rice, Hefty Slider Bags, Hormel Pepperoni, etc because they are off 2 items instead of one. Now, how that makes financial sense is beyond me because I wouldn't be getting BOTH of them free, I would have to pay something. Oh well, at least they are headed in the right direction.

Now if they can just upgrade those cash registers to scan so those poor cashiers don't have to key in EVERY coupon, I would be TOTALLY pleased!! We'll just hope. Go out and get your Dollar Tree items!! Enjoy!!
