FYI TJ's locations that accept coupons

[essentia]

In milepost #2 in this thread, derketchup mentions that some stores do accept coupons.

It might be helpful to consolidate info about these locations, what types and the number of coupons that are generally accepted, and any other relevant info you can think of.

I'll start ...

Towson, MD

Charlotte, NC
(Stonecrest)

Santa Fe, NM
Yes, coupons accepted

LI, NY
TJ's in Hicksville, Oyster Bay Road.

Portland, OR

• Hollywood (NE 42nd / Halsey St.) -- Yes. Coupons accepted were from Mambo Sprouts booklets from Whole Foods and/or Wild Oats. Nob Hill (NW Glisan St. / 21st Ave.) -- Yes.
• Powell/Reed (SE 39th / near Powell Blvd.) -- Yes.
  

Everett, WA
Everett Mall Way, next to Tuesday morning -- will accept manufacturer's coupons. Only 1 like coupon per customer per day. No to competitor's coupons, no to expired coupons, and for some reason no to wine tags.

Centreville, VA
Yes, accepts coupons.

Good idea!

Interesting. How does the checker know whether a q came off a wine bottle? (Generally, I cut my wine tags down to just the essentials, i.e. no neck hole, etc.)

And let me guess, TJ's doesn't double either. *g*

[derketchup]

Hmm, I never thought about cutting the neck off... and yeah that's usually how they know.

TJ's in Centreville, VA has taken my insert Qs before. Though the cashiers generally don't look like they deal with them very often.

Trader Joe's in Towson, Maryland has taken Kashi coupons.

Portland SE (39th) does.

BTW, why do people think they don't? The way I (and most people) interpret their policy as accepting coupons and I interpret this from their website

2. Do you have weekly specials or sales on your products?
"Sale" is a four-letter word to us. We have low prices, every day. No coupons, no membership cards, no discounts. You won’t find any glitzy promotions or couponing wars at our stores. If it makes you feel any better, think of it as all our items are on sale, day in and day out.

As meaning THEY (nor anyone else) don't print out coupons for TJ branded products. Since they carry some non-TJ products, coupons can be applied to those (though are relatively few)

Santa Fe, NM does. :)

Why people think trader joe's don't take coupons? Some of their cashiers say they don't.

I shop at the Trader Joes in Burien WA and they take coupons. I've also used coupons at the Issaquah WA and I believe Kirkland (may have been Bellevue) WA Trader Joes.

I've only used Mambo Sprouts coupons there but I've used lots of them at one time w/o problem. Several years ago I used 96 MB coupons at Trader Joes for Tom's of Maine soap (back when they had it for $1.99/bar).

Yes I'm obsessive about coupons...
