New H-E-B Coupon Policy Effective January 29th

It's a sad day for HEB couponers! There will be a New H-E-B Coupon Policy effective starting 1/29/13.  I have highlighted the changes from the current policy below...There aren't many, but one of them is a HUGE change! Starting 1/29, they will NO LONGER allow you to stack a manufacturer coupon and a Big Savings or Store coupon.  They have also added specific wording that you can't redeem a coupon with another store's logo at their stores. (That means coupons like those awesome Kraft deals that had Walmart logos, or ads, and were Manufacturer Coupons would not be valid at H-E-B.) You can read more about why these changes are taking place here.

Here is the new policy (effective 1/29/13):
