Updated Festival-Mauston Coupon Policy February 2012

At the end of November, I mentioned that Festival in Mauston had changed their coupon policy and would now be accepting Internet-printed coupon. This is certainly fantastic news!

Now, they have elaborated on their coupon policy and have provided more details for customers (scroll down to see the policy):

They accept manufacturer coupons and printable Internet coupons that follow these policies:

Internet Coupon Restrictions

• No free item coupons
• No coupons over $2 value
• Must have a valid expiration date
• Must have security measures
• Accepted at management discretion

Store Coupons

• Accept in-ad and green sheet store coupons
• Accept coupons from website
• Must follow the fine print on the coupons

Manufacturer Coupons

• Fine print and details on coupon must be followed
• Must be within dates (no expired coupons will be accepted)

Other Rules to Follow

• Customers may use both a store coupon and manufacturer together on the same item as long as the dates are valid and the above rules are followed.
• Online coupons may be printed in color OR in black and white.
• Festival does not price match competitor prices.
• Festival does not accept competitor coupons - with these two exceptions:
• Festival Foods' coupons printed on the backs of Packer tickets
• Coupons that state "valid at Supervalu-supplied stores"
• If the value of the coupon exceeds the value of the item, Festival will still take off the full value of the coupon. For example, if an item costs $0.97 and you have a coupon for $1 off that item, Festival will still take $1 off your bill.
• There is no maximum number of coupons a customer may use as long as all of the rules are followed. However, management can refuse to accept a coupon if they suspect fraud or question the validity of a coupon.
• When a coupon states "one coupon per purchase," this means one coupon per item (not per transaction). For example, a customer can buy three bottles of ketchup in one transaction and use three of the same coupons. If a coupon says "one coupon per transaction" or "one coupon per family per day," then multiple coupons may not be used.
• Festival does not have double or triple coupon days.
• A customer can use two manufacturer coupons on a Buy One Get One Free purchase as long as the fine print does not state otherwise.

This is a very clear and concise coupon policy. These rules are the typical, reasonable rules of coupon use.
