A new month means a new $200 Challenge!
If you are local to Wichita, KS, you are IN FOR A TREAT! I just found out last week from my friend Jaime, that Homeland in Haysville DOUBLES $1.00 COUPONS! I can't tell you how excited I was to hear this. So after calling them twice to double check their coupon policy, here it is:
*Will double up to $1.00-meaning $1.00 becomes $2.00!
*They take Internet Coupons!!!
*They take Internet Coupons!!!
*Will not double coupons if it says No Doubling on the coupon. (A Little Bummer)
*5 Like Coupons per transaction-which means I can use 5 Honey Nut Cheerio Coupons but if I buy a 6th box I can't use a 6th coupon. They said per customer, per day...so I think it would depend on the cashier and manager if they would let you do more than one transaction.
**You must sign up for their Homeland Card to get this policy to work! I just went to Customer Service and it took 1 minute!
Here are my observations:
*Check the sales ad on-line here to see what deals you can get with coupons beforehand. I did spend about 2 hours there but I wasn't familiar with the store and the products they had, so I was doing lots of "extra" shopping!
*Some prices are much higher! Their Pillsbury items are outrageous! However, lots of things were similar or cheaper!
*To get the best deals, focus on the $1.00 coupons, anything else would probably be cheaper elsewhere.

**The only thing I didn't have a coupon for was the Sargento Ricotta Cheese ($3.39) but I went ahead and got it because I knew I would have some overage if they didn't price adjust my coupons for some of the FREE coupons!
I will probably try to hit Homeland Once A Month to stock up on snack items and sale items!
