MARTIN’S Deals and Coupon-Match-ups for 5/16-5/22/10

I am sure you got the coupon booklet in the mail that was sent out to all residents in areas where a new MARTIN’S has opened.  I was inundated at work on Sunday with the $25 gift card with a new or transferred prescription coupon.  I understand that it is a great deal, but it brought in more business than I was staffed for and made things a little crazy.  It is because of this I want to remind you or ask you to always be courteous to the employee when you hand them a stack of coupons.  If the employee (at any store) has trouble scanning the coupon don’t be defensive, remember you have looked at that coupon several times and they are just now looking at it and can’t remember your entire grocery order.  Also, please remember that although the MARTIN’S employees are the same from Ukrop’s (for the most part) they have had to deal with policy changes, new hours or shifts, new cash registers (which are older technology-wise than what they had with Ukrop’s the “new” registers are similar to what Ukrop’s had in the early 90’s), a new phone system, and new computer systems.  The transition has not been flawless – that would be shocking if it was.  It is stressful and frustrating (especially when shopping with little ones) that they have moved around merchandise, have crowded shelves, and those obtrusive “shelf talkers” all over the place, but please be nice to your cashier they are just trying to do their job.

 

Ok, now to step down from my soapbox.  :)

 

The mailed coupon booklet has coupons that have specific dates to get you in the store every week for the next few weeks. 

 

The following coupons are valid for this week:

$3 off your order of $30 or more

$1 off a meat purchase of $5 or more

Free Turkey Hill Ice Cream (56 oz) with a $15 minimum purchase

$1 off a produce or floral purchase of $5 or more

$1 off a seafood purchase of $5 or more (excludes sushi)

$1 off Nature’s Promise Purchase with a $15 minimum purchase

$25 MARTIN’S Gift Card with any new or transferred prescription (read the fine print)

$1 off health or beauty care purchase with a $15 minimum purchase

 

There are some good deals this week without coupons like the London Broil for $1.99/lb or a dozen eggs for $0.79.  Click here to look at an on-line version of the ad (note the page numbers on-line do not match the page numbers in the printed ad.)  I am only listing the deals in my spreadsheet that have a coupon available – and that is a lot!

 

These are the guidelines that I have read and figured out so far for MARTIN’S coupon policy:

MARTIN’S will double manufacturer coupons up to $0.50 everyday.

MARTIN’S will only double one “like” manufacturer coupon per customer per day.  (This means that even if you buy two bags of frozen veggies and have two coupons only one will double the other will be honored at the face value.)

MARTIN’S will “double” the difference of a coupon with a value of $0.51-$0.99 and $1 to give you up to $1 off.  (I have had $0.55 coupons that “doubled” $0.45 giving me $1 off.)

MARTIN’S does accept internet printable (IP) coupons up to a face value of $5, they do not accept IP coupons for a “free” item.  This includes buy one get one free. 

You must buy both items to get the free item with buy one get one free promotions. (You can’t buy one item at “half price”.)

If you are buying 2 items with a buy one get one free promotion you can still use a coupon that covers both items.

Abbreviations:

SS = Smart Source (Sunday Paper Coupon Insert)

RP = Red Plum (Sunday Paper Coupon Insert)

PG = Proctor & Gamble (Sunday Paper Coupon Insert)
