What Does It All Mean?

Have you ever wandered through WinCo wondering what the different colored price tags mean? I know I have, so I found out. The yellow price tags are WinCo's everyday low prices whereas the green price tags are their sale prices.

WinCo Coupon Policy

You can view WinCo's coupon policy here or read it below:

WinCo Foods gladly accepts manufacturer’s coupons where all the following apply:
  1. The coupon has a valid barcode that can be scanned into our system,
  2. The item is in stock,
  3. Restrictions and requirements listed on the coupon are met. This includes but is not limited to: quantities (minimum required and maximum allowed), sizes, brand names, product variety, expiration dates, and store location.
  4. The coupon(s) is not a result of coupon “stacking,” “doubling,” etc. (*1* coupon per item limit)
*WinCo Foods reserves the right to deny any coupon at any time.

    The Birth of iheartwinco.com

    My wife and I have been couponing for a little while. While searching throughout the internet, we've had a hard time finding coupon match-ups for Winco Foods. The obvious solution was to create iheartwinco.com based loosely on iheartriteaid.com.

    We live in Eugene, Oregon and coupon regularly at Walmart, Rite Aid, and Walgreen's. Before we started couponing, Winco was a regular shopping trip. We are aware that many, many couponers are in the same boat as us. We know that you want to see coupon match-ups for Winco. Our goal is to provide those match-ups for you. At first, I'm sure that our match-ups will be poor simply due to the time that it takes to gather the information. You can expect to see the first match-up from us tonight or tomorrow.

    Links......these are the couponing sites we use on a regular basis. For everything non-Winco, we highly recommend these:

    thekrazycouponlady.com
    www.cuckooforcoupondeals.com
    www.slickdeals.net
    iheartriteaid.com
    wildforwags.com
    iheartthemart.com
    www.hotcouponworld.com (mainly for the database)

    Thank you for visiting our site and we hope it helps.
    Chris.
