You can find all the hottest deals – HERE, and a running list of deal match-ups in our forums – HERE

Does Stop & Shop Double Coupons?

Yes, Up to 99¢. Unless the coupon states “DO NOT DOUBLE”, it is entitled to double.

My Coupon didn’t double, what now?

If your coupon does not double, and it does not state it does not double, kindly bring it to the cashier, or customer service representatives attention.

How Many Coupons can I Use?

As Many as you like. Stop & Shop limits to 16 like coupons, per transaction. Therefore, if you have 16 for dog food, 16 cat food, and 16 bird food, you may use all of them – unless stated otherwise on the coupon (limit 1,2, one per person etc.) Stop & Shop has the right to limit all coupons, and is at managers discretion.

How Many Coupons Double per transaction?

Stop & Shop Policy states, only 4 like coupons will double. YMMV as internet printables are coded as “unlike”, and usually up to 16 will double. Again this is a YMMV.

What does YMMV mean? Whats Coupon LINGO?

You can see all the coupon lingo & abbreviations – HERE

What are LTC Coupons?

LTC is short for Load to Card, these coupons are available when you register your Stop & Shop card online. These are one-time-use coupons. They do not double. Some vary by account, and your shopping habits. You may receive coupons someone else doesn’t have, or vice versa.

 What is a Catalina Coupon?

Can I use a Stop & Shop digital coupon with a paper coupon?

Per Stop & Shop policy, NO. You can see all the stores that stack coupons –HERE

What are Gas Points, how do I use them?

You can get all the information about Gas Points – HERE

I bought gas points items, but I didn’t get my gas points.

Check your receipt. Did you spend the minimum $25 required? If yes, bring your receipt to Customer Service and they will give you your gas points. All gas point deals require a $25 minimum spend.

Can I Use a coupon on marked down or yellow ticket items?

Yes you can. If there are any discrepancies, it is right in the Stop & Shop coupon policy

Does Stop & Shop give overage?

Per Policy, no. It is known to happen time to time. Stop & Shop does NOT give cash back, and you will need a “filler” item to cover it.

What is a filler item?

A filler item is something low cost, to cover the rare “overage” as noted above. This brings your total to $0.00, or slightly above, as Stop & Shop will not give cash back.

What is a rain check?

A rain check is a “store certificate” allowing you to purchase an item at a later date if it is no longer in stock. Per Policy, they are only allowed to let you have a rain check for up to 10 items, or 10 deals.

Can I Use Coupons with a rain check?

Yes you can.

I saw something marked on sale, I asked for a rain check, but the CS Rep would not give me a rain check.

Rain checks are only given for advertised sale items. More Likely than not, if the item is not in the flyer, they will NOT issue you a rain check.

Can I use a raincheck for a past deal, and get the sale price for the current week?

This is known as a “double-dip”. More Likely than not, you will be able to use a rain check, and get the sale price for the current week.

Example: Slow Cooker Liners were on sale B1G1 FREE last week, they didn’t have anymore, so we got a raincheck for 4. This week, they are on sale for $1.99 each.

$1.99 * 4 = $7.96. Get 2 FREE (raincheck) = $3.96 or 99¢ each. Management has the right to refuse , so YMMV

Where can I order coupons?

Check out the list of where to order – HERE

What is a regional Coupon?

A regional coupon, is a coupon that is distributed in a different part of the country. Normally these are higher value coupons, that make items free, or near free.

Example: Rhode Island will get a $1/2 Ken’s Dressing Coupon, California will get a $.75/1 Kens Dressing Coupon, which will double to $1.50, therefore, it is a higher value coupon.

Can I use coupons on an instant savings deal? is it before or after coupons?

Yes you can use coupons on an instant savings deal. (Save X when you buy x). Per the fine print on the Stop & Shop circular, all instant savings deals are AFTER coupons (minimum spend must be met after all coupons go through) It has been our experience, this works in our favor most of the time, and it will be BEFORE coupons. (minimum spend doesn’t need to be met after coupons for instant savings to come off). This is YMMV

Do I scan my Stop & Shop card before, or after?

Either, it makes no difference.

Does Stop & Shop take expired coupons?

Per Policy, NO.

I want to order a lot of one item, but I don’t want to clear the shelf, what do I do?

Speak to your stock manager, and ask if you can pre-order your items. Per-Ordering allows the stock manager to order extra, and put that specific amount aside for you. This is a YMMV, as some managers do not allow this.
