I was very excited to see that some of our local stores are now participating in eCoupon programs! If you aren't familiar with these programs, the concept is pretty simple: log on to the eCoupon website, select the coupons you want, load them onto your shopping card(s), shop & scan your card, get your savings. The one caveat is that the discount does not come off your grocery bill. It instead goes into your SavingStar account. Once you reach a $5 balance, you can choose how you wish to receive your payout (PayPal account, an Amazon gift card, or a donation to American Forests).
These do not double like a manufacturer's coupon. After some reading on the web, I've not been able to get a clear answer as to whether or not you can stack these discounts with a regular coupon - some say yes, some say no. It may depend on the individual store. I guess it's going to take some trial and error to find out for sure, but I'm willing to give it a go.
If you'd like to join me in this latest couponing adventure, sign up was quick and simple. You'll want to have your Tops, CVS, and Rite Aid cards handy (you'll enter your card numbers to add them to your account) and go to SavingStar to sign up.
