What a sad day for me and my coupon clipping friends! I was shocked and so disappointed when I heard the news. Until now, Albertson's got most of my business because they accepted compeitor coupons, but I'm not sure I will be able to continue to do the bulk of my shopping there. I read online last night that someone talked to the store manager at the Sherwood store and he told her that they would be accepting them until the 18th, but when I just did my grocery shopping tonight, they told me that they weren't supposed to accept them at all but they would take them this one last time. I guess the positive side is I will no longer feel the shame in the checkout line as the checkers struggle with my coupons and their calculators to see how much to take off my order while watching the line pile up behind me. It was a little embarrassing at times, but I didn't mind when I was saving so much money.
And if that wasn't enough to throw my frugal strategy off - I heard today that Safeway may discontinue double coupons! What is the world coming to?

It is very, very sad. In fact I probably won't shop at Albertsons much at all anymore because ours is old and dirty and often doesn't have everything I need.
FYI - Fred Meyer takes competitors coupons-this is not well known though. Do you have ones of those near you?
