There are two things you should print and carry with you in your coupon file that may be useful for you to show to a store manager if you have the opportunity to talk to them about using your legitimate printable coupons. Print the SmartSource Letter and read what I wrote about it here. If you shop at Walmart, Print the Walmart Coupon Policy and read what I wrote about it here. If you have problems using printable coupons at your store, even after you talk to the store manager, then you need to call the corporate office. It’s easy to find this 1-800 customer service number by visiting the store’s website. Walmart’s number is easy to remember 1-800-WAL-MART. I encourage you to call and ask for clarification and provide feedback on the store’s coupon policies. Believe me, most stores want and value your feedback and they will be happy to hear from you. Sometimes corporate policies are not followed at individual stores and they may need a reminder coming from corporate to start following them. Please read my post “Will you take my printable coupon?” for more about this topic, especially if you shop at Kroger.
Do you need help printing coupons? It is very difficult for me to offer help beyond what I’ve already written in my posts: Printable Coupon Help and CoolSavings for SmartSource Coupons. The reason is that everyone has a different computer set-up and uses different operating systems and software. I encourage you to read the comments on these posts to hear what other readers are saying. Leave a comment yourself and you may find another reader who can share a solution with you. If you have a question about anything, the best way to get it answered is by leaving a comment on a relevant and recent post. That way if I am unable to answer it, one of my readers may step-in and help you out. You will need to subscribe to that posts comments in order to get new comments emailed to you.

Thank you for the link to WalMart’s coupon policy. Every time I try to use printables there, I have to have a manager come! The last cashier was rude and sighed loudly when I asked for a supervisor. Now I’ll just whip this out!
Once at Target i had several different gerber coupons (some printable some from the package.) The printable ones had the it its illegal to duplicate disclaimer which freaked out the cashier. Even though one coupon wsa for 12 jars and another for 6 and I had 18 jars she thought if she let me use both it would be be duplicating the coupon and she could go to jail! I just used one, then took the other to another cashier.
What a timely post! I just got home from Walmart after being HUMILATED by them. I had a a small amount of items and went through “self-checkout”. I scanned my coupons, and one of the 1.10 Progresso ones wouldn’t register. The machine beeped, but nothing came up on the screen to indicate it was taken off. Then the machine froze, and they sent me to another one. I completed checkout (it took all of the coupons), and when I went to use my debit card, it froze! So I had to check out a 3rd time with a real-person register, they had to retrieve my coupons out of the defective machines, etc. etc. etc. The lady in charge of the self-checkout was loudly complaining how the coupons were going to throw the money counts off the defective machines, etc. and how the coupons broke the self-checkout registers. SOOO rude, considering I shop there 4 or 5 times a week. I felt about an inch tall. I had no problem when the lady who rang me up the 3rd/last time scanned the coupons. Has anyone else had this issue with self-checkout???
