I know many of you recently got your Hannaford stickers and you are probably wondering just what that sticker can do for you. One thing it does is get you catalina coupons (like $1 off produce or $1 off bakery), but only during weeks when Hannaford offers them.
This week Hannaford does not have an catalina coupon for us (3rd week in a row they don’t give us one… boo hoo). So, no matter how many times you scan your sticker, you will not get a coupon. This can lead you to think it’s a waste of time to scan your sticker.
But, if you are a member of SavingStar, you still have to scan your Hannaford sticker every time so you can earn your SavingStar refunds! Right now SavingStar has an awesome Quaker deal where you get $5 back when you spend $15! If you don’t scan your sticker, you can’t get the refund!

Hannaford put out a new PDF coupon for Hellmann’s mayo. This would come in super handy if it could be stacked with a manny Q, but according to Hannaford’s written coupon policy, they do not allow stacking.
If you’d like Hannaford to allow coupon stacking, read this entire post… you can help!
Hannaford Store Coupon for $1/2 Hellmann’s Mayonnaise, 22 oz – exp 2/29/12
I believe customers have the power to make changes! I just got off the phone with Robin Woodbury, the Consumer Affair Specialist for Hannaford, and she said “we do not allow coupon stacking because it does not fit in with our everyday low price strategy.”
That is the best answer she could give me. That answer was not good enough for me… lol!
I told Robin I’m starting a campaign to get their coupon stacking policy changed and that she could expect some calls. She was very nice and said she would relay any customer concerns about coupon policies to the team of people who make the decisions.
If you want to leave Robin a message, call corporate at 1-800-341-6393 and ask for Robin Woodbury’s voicemail. If you can’t think of anything to say, all you have to say is your first name, which Hannaford you shop at, then say “please allow coupon stacking.” That’s it! If you want to say Deals by Darlene (or Darlene Michaud) sent you, that’s fine too. But, I have a feeling she’ll know I sent you :O)

I have not been going out shopping much lately. I even went two entire days without stepping foot in Shaw’s. I have enough of everything and really need to eat what’s in the freezer because there is no more room for anything new. But, I still managed to pick up a few things… ’cause that’s how I feed this addiction!
I ended up with an overage over these transactions, so I have more money in the pot than I did a few days ago. I think if I make it to $1,000 I’ll call it quits, because I honestly think I could make this go on for a very long time, mainly due to Walmart’s cash back for overages :O)

If you are signed up for Hannaford’s weekly email, you already know that they are not offering us any new store coupons this week, at least none that I can find.
No catalina coupon for scanning your Hannaford sticker (none last week either so poo poo to that)
No extended date on the meat and deli coupons (I expected these would not be extended since football is over tomorrow)
However, you can still print and use the previous $1 off meat and $2 off deli coupons through 2/11.
Also, if you are signed up with SavingStar, you always have to scan your Hannaford sticker to get your credit. And they don’t ask if you have a sticker. You are forced to remember to give it to the cashier… ho hum.
And one last thing… seems like Hannaford has two coupon policies on their site. This Hannaford coupon policy gives very little information and does not cover the topic of coupon stacking. This Hannaford coupon policy states no coupon stacking. Go figure.

One of my facebook fans told me about this $2 off Sara Lee coupon (so sorry, I can’t remember who!) and I finally got around to printing it. And now I want you to print it too!
There are two reasons to be excited about this coupon…
1. Shaw’s often has pre-sliced packages of Sara Lee in reduced deli with a $2 off peelie slapped on it. You can stack this coupon with the peelie to get a total of $4.00 off!
2. You should be able to stack this coupon with the $2 off Deli Hannaford coupon to get $4.00 off either a pound of sliced meat any pre-sliced meat. But some people are telling me Hannaford will not let them stack. Others are saying they are allowed to stack. Hannaford does not mention coupon stacking in their policy, so you’ll have to ask your store.
Facebook coupons don’t hang around for long… so hurry!
$2 OFF Sara Lee meat, 1 lb at the service deli OR 1 package of any pre-sliced meat in the deli section – “Like” them then print 2 prints per computer

These shopping trips are part of my $12 Challenge (see here).
I didn’t buy much tonight (I usually always shop small) but I feel like I scored BIG TIME because I found Wholly in reduced produce at Shaw’s! I had coupons for $1.50 off and was so hoping to get to use them before they expired… and I got to! It wasn’t Wholly Guacamole, but Wholly Salsa. I would have preferred guacamole, but guess what? There was a huge Florida avocado in reduced produce too! So I can make my own guac! Woohoo!
As for Hannaford, I have been using the deli coupon to pick up sliced green peppers in with the pizza toppings (they are in deli and ring up as deli). I boil them for just one minute the freeze. It gives me awesome green peppers for stir fry, pizza, spaghetti sauce (gotta feed my mother her spaghetti!), pepper steak… anything!

Used (2) $1.50/1 Wholly product (not sure if you can still get it)
