Some of you have recently left comments on my blog and Facebook page saying you’ve heard that there will be no more Twice the Value coupons at Albertsons. In general, I’m very wary about spreading rumors that I’ve not verified by corporate, because I do not want to create a hysteria. However, due to the volume of these inquiries I’m getting and the fact that Albertsons has in part acknowledged these rumors themselves, I feel I should mention this today.
The problem I’m running into is that there are a lot of changes happening right now at Albertsons and their parent umbrella company, SuperValu. In case you were unaware, SuperValu recently sold Albertsons (as well as Acme, Jewel-Osco, Shaw’s and Star Market). Given the changes happening internally, I’m not surprisingly having a bit of a time getting you more information about how this will impact your shopping experience at Albertsons.
So, will there still be Twice the Value coupons? Quite frankly, I’m not sure. I think it will depend on the new buyer and if they choose to continue that program. A contact I reached at Albertsons yesterday shared this link with me entitled Albertsons, Coupons, and You which states, in part:
So the BIG question is, are we changing programs?
The short answer is, “possibly.”
My thought on Twice the Value coupons? It’s too early to tell. I’ve said for a long time that it’s important to not grow too dependent on any one particular way of saving. (You might want to read my post on Frugal Living Diversification for a little encouragement.) I do want you to be aware of the buy out, and have in the back of your mind that ANY coupon program at Albertsons is currently subject to change.
I’m still working on re-establishing a contact there, but I was told that it won’t likely be until after the dust settles, sometime in May. If I’m given more information from corporate to share on this topic, you can bet your buttons I will share it with you. In the meantime, the link at Albertsons.com is the most complete answer I can provide.
