There has been some chatter over the past few weeks that Giant is now doubling four like Internet Printable Coupons. We are not sure why insert coupons are not doubling. There hasn’t been an official change on the Giant PA website, but it seems that YES, they are doubling four like Internet Printed coupons.
I can only verify that my store is doubling four like Internet Printed Coupons at this time. I will do an another test on coupon inserts coupons in the next few days. You will need to test your store first, we cannot guarentee your store will, but its very likely and worth a try.
This is how my deal SHOULD look (according to Giant Coupon Policy)
Buy (3) Hungry Jack Hashbrowns $4.77
use (3) $.50/1 Hungry Jack Hashbrowns Coupons (printables)
Pay $2.77 (one coupon doubled, other two at face value
This is how it rang up at the register:
Buy (3) Hungry Jack Hashbrowns $4.77
use (3) $.50/1 Hungry Jack Hashbrowns Coupons (printables)
Pay $1.77 (all three coupons doubled to $1.00)
I also tried these deals and found that all coupons doubled.
Here is what I found:
Bought (2) Newman’s Own Pasta Sauce $1.99
use (2) $.50/1 Newmans Own Coupons (printables)
Both coupons doubledBought (2) Campbells Kettle Soups $2.50
use (2) $.75/1 Campbells Coupon (printables)
Both coupons doubledBought (4) Hormel Sandwich Makers $2.00 each
use (4) $.50/1 Hormel Sandwich Makers Coupon (printables)
Four coupons doubled
If you are going to test your store, you may want to try a small deal with coupons first, like any of the deals listed above. The receipts can be a little hard to read and you’ll want to be sure your coupons doubled.

I used a $0.40 coupon off yogurt last night and it doubled.

I was at a York Giant Yesterday (Manchester) and noticed that the 3 $.75 Printed smoothie shaker coupons doubled. Also the Sarah Lee bread which said DND doubled.
I have asked a cashier to double a second like coupon manually so that I did not need to have a separate order for one item and they are fine with that.
Sarah says
My store has the new registers and still only seem to be doubling one– I used the Horizon IPs ($.75) and only the first doubled. This was at SCO. I’ll try again though– would be nice if it works!

Here is what I noticed. When I used the self checkout only the 1st coupon doubled,. When I went through the cashier at the same store more than 1 doubled. The cashiers did have updated systems.
Shannon says
Interesting! Maybe someone else can test this too!

I know about a month ago I bought the Dole shakers and they doubled multiple coupons for me then.
Sandra Hetrick says
As far as I know, they do in York.

Just looked at my receipt and only 4 75c/1 Softsoap coupons doubled…better than one. I used other coupons like the 50c softsoap from the SS which I know they never double.

I first noticed this a month or two ago. Didn’t they upgrade their front-end systems around that time? Then last week, a second coupon didn’t double and I asked a supervisor. He said the policy had not changed, that only one MC should double, and that if multiples had doubled before it was unintentional. However, since then, multiples have doubled for me – I think it was the Campbell’s deal shown above. So, I’m still wondering.

Geoff,
Yes you are correct this started when they rolled out the new registers.. some stores are still getting them.
I think it could be something in the coding — but its been going on for well over 2 months at my store, so I am not sure.
Melissa says
I’ve tested insert coupons at my store. They only double the first.
Natalie says
Thank you Melissa.
