Festival 11/11-11/17

Festival's ad looks very similar to Burnstad's this week. The only difference is, the deals will be better at Burnstad's since they accept Internet coupons.

* Each week, Festival has an Insert Ad, a Green Sheet, and a Surprise Buys ad. All of these can be viewed on their website.
* Festival in Mauston does not accept any Internet coupons. I asked in September if they accepted them and here's the answer I got from a cashier: "No, most Internet coupons are fraudulent anyways, so we can't take any. I'm pretty sure the only place that still takes Internet coupons is Walmart..." I politely informed her: "No, many Internet coupons are valid. Unfortunately, a few people have created fraudulent coupons. And all the stores around here do take Internet coupons - Walmart, Copps, Dollar General, Walgreens, and Burnstad's." It appears that Festival has been burned in the past with fraudulent coupons - and their cashiers are rather misinformed!
* I only list some of the best deals. See more sale items at Festival-Mauston's website (which is newly formatted and updated!).
* Festival has no written coupon policy. Common sense tells me that one should be able to combine an "in-store coupon" and a manufacturer coupon, but there is no guarantee. It's certainly worth a shot - the worst they can do is tell you no! Update: I did combine a store coupon (from the recent mailer) with a manufacturer coupon without a problem on Wednesday. YMMV...
