When I went shopping at Dollar Tree, I tried to use the $1.25 coupon off efferdent. They wouldn’t accept it, saying that the coupon had to be for 1.00 or less (because of the cost and using it on one item). I told them most other places don’t give overage, just use the coupon for the cost of the item, but the manager said they couldn’t do that.
Julie » They are very new to taking coupons, sorry that happened to you!
I would call corporate ad have them contact the manager to educate him.
Probably they just didn’t know how to reduce the coupon amount.
I hope that helps!

Heads up dollar tree changed their coupon policy effective dec 7th
just letting yu know
Fran r » I just read their policy on their website – what changes are you referring to? They haven’t updated the online policy if they did change their policy.
Dian
I have a stupid question….. on rule number 3. Only two (2) print-at-home Internet coupons may be redeemed per transaction.
Does this mean the coupons I print from the coupon sites….example coupons.com, redplum, etc. That I can only use 2 of these coupons at one time? So if I wanted to get all of these items for free that you posted for the Dollar Tree FREE & Under $1 Deals & Coupon Match-ups! I would have to only purchase 2 items at a time???
Thank you
Cheryl » That’s not a dumb question at all. The way I read is exactly what you said – it does say per transaction which means you can check out more than once. Which is what I would do.
I hope that helps!
Dian
The website now says you can only us two internet coupoons per day.
Yes that does help!! Thank you
I think the new policy is crap Only 2 printable coupons per day who has the money to buy up all them papers to get already printed coupon I am on SSI and I went with a stack of coupons n could only use 2 give me a break I WILL NOT GO BACK TO THE DOLLAR TREE FOR NOTHING AGAIN ITS NOT WORTH MY DRIVE TO USE 2 COUPONS THATS REDICILOUS PERIODM AND THEY DONT CARRY ALOT OF THE NAME BRAND ITEMS TO BEGIN WITH OR THEY LISTED THE COUPON CAN BE USED FOR GARNIER SHAMPOO WELL GUESS WHAT NOT ON TRIAL SIZE N THATS WHAT THEY CARRY ITS SO STUPID
leslie » I understand your frustration. They are new to taking coupons and their policy may change a few times before they settle on exactly what their policy will be.
Thanks,
Dian
I have a question, as far as I can understand, the statement below means that you can only use 4 coupons that are identical per day. Meaning to say, I can use 4 $1 off nesquik coupon per day and still be able to use other coupons like $1 off garnier shampoo.
“We accept up to four (4) like coupons per household per day.”
Because my two trips were both different.
The manager that rung me up had to do 4 multiple transactions. (Transaction -#1 is nesquik, trans#2 is hormel pepperoni, trans 3 is glades deodorizer and trans 4 is olay)
My second trip was, the cashier told me that they only accept 4 manufacturer’s coupon per day. Meaning 4 coupons per peron / household per day)
I didn’t want to argue at that time because there was a line forming behind me so I didn’t want people behind me to get cranky.
Wendy » The 4 transactions could have been done in one since the policy says “We accept up to four (4) like coupons per household per day.” Since you bought 4 of each of the different items they could all be rung in the same transaction.
The policy doesn’t say anything about 4 manufacturer’s coupons per day limit. It does limit printable coupons to 2 per day – though, and both of those are new changes to the policy so that may be where the problem came in.
Make sure to always carry a copy of the policy with you so you can refer back to it:

I hope that helps!
Thanks!
