Albertsons will be making some changes on how they distribute their Twice the Value Coupons.  Here is an email that our friends at Coupon Connections received from Corporate:

We’re really excited that so many shoppers are enthusiastic about our Twice the Value coupons at certain Albertsons IMW locations, and we’ve seen a significant increase in shoppers who are using them.

Unfortunately, we’ve seen many people taking advantage of this special offer, so we’ve decided to stop providing extra inserts at our store locations. As of July 17th, the only way to have access to the promotional inserts that include our Twice the Value coupons will be to purchase a Sunday newspaper. I want to make it clear that we’re still offering and honoring our Twice the Value coupons, but to limit the number of shoppers who are using more than three in any given shopping trip we will not have extra coupons at our store locations.

Our stores in Montana and Wyoming have a historically low redemption rate of our special Twice the Value coupons, so in these specific markets we’ve decided discontinue offering our special savings inserts in Sunday newspapers as well. Since shoppers in these stores don’t appear to be finding value in these coupons, we’ve decided to use this as an opportunity to try new ways to share savings and value with our customers.

I am sure this is going to make many of you upset.  In fact, when I shop Albertsons Doublers, I get my Twice the Value coupons from my store, so I am also directly effected.   Of course, the coupons will still be in the newspapers and if your are unable to receive a multiple newspaper subscription deal you can still purchase them for $1.00 at selected dollar stores.  I would also suggest getting extras from friends, neighbors or even dumpster diving (if your area allows for this).

The silver lining to this news is that there is probably going to be SUFFICIENT STOCK at most stores after these changes take effect! Wahoo!!!!!

Thanks, Coupon Connections
