Smith's Shoppers Card with Ecoupons

I am so excited that Smith's allows you to do e-coupons, for two reasons. First, almost every week there is a free Friday deal that you can load to your Smith's card. Once the e-coupon is loaded to your card, you have two weeks to redeem the item. Just load the coupon, take the item to checkout and scan your card. The full price of the item will be INSTANTLY deducted from the bill.

The second reason I love Smith's e-coupons is that you load all the coupons available from their website directly to your shoppers card and then go shopping. No clipping, no storing, no forgetting your paper coupons at home. Just remember to take your shoppers card to the store and scan it at checkout and you are in business!

How do you do all of this? Just visit the Smith's website and click on their digital coupons section. Register your shoppers card to make it available for e-coupons (you have to have a free Smith's account for this) and start adding your coupons! I remember the process being simple and pain-free.

You can also download the free Smith's app to your smartphone and add e-coupons to your card while you are walking around the store shopping! They will be ready and waiting for you on your card when you checkout.

One note of caution: I have run into the problem of having my e-coupons and my paper coupons conflict at checkout. For example, say I have the e-coupon for $1 off chips loaded on my card. It is only good for one bag, but I also have a paper coupon for $1 off chips too. I want to buy two bags, so I am going to use both my e-coupon and my paper coupon. At checkout, the computer might get confused and think you are trying to use TWO coupons on ONE bag of chips (even though you bought two bags) and reject the paper coupon. Just explain to the cashier what is happening and what you are trying to do and I have always had them fix the problem and accept both coupons. For this reason, if I am doing e-coupons and paper coupons on the same item, I find it easiest not to do the self-checkout lines. Of course, the cashier that scans your coupons at the self-checkout is always very nice and helpful too.
