UNOFFICIAL COUPON POLICY --
Here is a summary of their coupon policy which can vary by location:
1. They double coupons on Monday only up to $1
2. They do take internet printables but with manager approval only
3. They do take competitor coupons (grocery stores only) but you can not stack a store coupon with a manufacturer coupon.
4. Store coupons do not double
5. They do not allow overage, the register will auto-adjust coupon for overage.
6. They ad match other competitors Tuesday through Sunday

Love FG by the way! Just watch the doubling.
