There are some interesting changes going on with Food Lion and coupons. First of all; go HERE to register your MVP card and to "click to coupon." Basically you can load coupons right onto your MVP card without having to print them. You just have to remember what you loaded onto the card and pay attention at check-out to make sure the coupon really does come off your total.
Food Lion is also apparently changing their coupon policy (not that they had much of one to begin with). This is what their new coupon policy says (I copied this directly from their website):
Coupon Acceptance Policy
In service of Creating Great Customer Experiences for you,
Food Lion stores will follow these steps when accepting coupons.
• We will only accept coupons that are in date and the product or purchase
requirements have been met.
• Competitor coupons will not be accepted in our stores.
• We will accept Manufacturer, Store, Internet and Catalina Checkout Coupons.
• Coupons with limits specified on them must be followed.
• No “cash back” will be given for coupons of any kind.
• Customers may not use more than (1) one coupon per item with a maximum
of (10) ten coupons for the same item per customer.
• We will only accept Internet coupons that appear to be originals.
• We will not accept internet coupons from other retailers.
• We will not accept FREE internet coupons.
• We will accept Manufacturer and Store coupons for FREE items.
• The value of the FREE item cannot exceed the purchase price of that item.
We reserve the right to limit the quantity of coupons that may be
redeemed in one shopping visit. We also reserve the right to refuse
any coupon that may appear to be fraudulent.
See Customer Service or Store Office for more details.
This is the part that has changed:
"Customers may not use more than (1) one coupon per item with a maximum
of (10) ten coupons for the same item per customer."
So if I'm reading that correctly, they are saying you can no longer "stack" a Food Lion coupon and a manufacturer coupon. Disappointing!
Apparently this went into effect this past Monday, although I think people have been having issues with stacking coupons for longer than that.
So what do you think of Foodlion's new policy?

I haven't checked out the website yet but are the coupons that load onto our card store coupons?
Looks to me like the coupons are manufacturer coupons because they are actually "redplum" coupons. I will tell you though that it crossed my mind that you might be able to use Foodlion coupon along with the coupons loaded onto your MVP card. But I guess that would be a little shady to do.
Just wanted to remind you Kline's anniversary sale began today, Friday. They have some good deals on meat as usual.
Thanks for this blog! I love it!
Judy - that same thought crossed my mind too but you are right, too shady. Millicent did the Mothers of Faith coupon class this morning and mentioned how you coupon "with the Fear of the Lord" and I really liked that!!!
Millicent - good job today!!
