We gladly welcome manufacturer’s coupons that are scan-able into our system, this means that they must have a valid barcode that our system recognizes. Furthermore our stores must have the exact item on stock and all restrictions and requirements listed on the actual coupon must be met. This includes but is not limited to: Quantities (minimum required and maximum allowed). Sizes. Brand names and varieties of product. Valid and expiration dates. Locations where the coupon may be redeemed. Redemption value, etc.
In regards to internet coupons, WinCo Foods has approved the decision to accept (and limit) internet coupons that have a bar code and our scanners can match up a product code against. Internet coupons must also meet all of the requirements listed on this page and may be subject to an extra level of scrutiny at the registers with the goal of verifying their legitimacy. As with all coupons, WinCo Foods reserves the right to deny any coupon at any given time.
PLEASE NOTE: Select stores have implemented a one (1) coupon per item limit, this may include coupon “stacking,” “doubling,” etc. Furthermore, due to a high rate of coupon fraud, select stores have chosen to no longer accept internet coupons. If you have questions about any specific coupon please ask your store’s Customer Service department or any of our cashiers
I would only assume because the store is just opening up that we aren’t one of the “select” stores. So lets behave ourselves and coupons ethically. Just in case you didn’t know…making your own or copies of coupons is Fraud. Using a coupon for a different item even though it scans is Fraud. The nice thing about coupons is the store gets reimbursed and we want to make sure that happens.
Be sure to check out Winco’s Website for 7 Great Shopping Tips! I also heard that you have to bag your own groceries so be prepared for that.
Remember that this is a GRAND Opening and these prices are amazing so expect lines, traffic and crazy people, just don’t be one of them 😉

Now I would love some of your tips for those of you who have shopped at a Winco Store before. This is new ground for me and I am sure many others.
Here in Tacoma, we got flyers for the new store opening in Lacey. The flyer appears to be the same.
I've been in one before and have been anxiously waiting for the Lacey store to open since the Coming Soon sign went up. Yes you do bag your own…to help keep costs down.
And their bulk food section is bigger and better than the ones I've seen at Fred Meyer and Whole Foods. It's the only way I buy my spices, dried fruit and nuts (unless they're on sale and have a coupon! :D)
They have a large bulk selection from cereal, pasta, spices to peanut butter!! They also sell big 2pm packs of all kinds of cheese @ great prices. U can stack coupons but it stinks bcause they don't do in store coupon flyers very often. Since ur stores r new u'll get coupons 4 a bit. Also b aware that if u don't get an ad in the mail u can't get them in the store. Another thing, I have rang my whole order up & paid but forgot to give my coupons & the lady was great & just gave me cash 4 my coupons!! Straight acrossed. Not sure if they normally do that! Last but not least GET READY TO PACK UR OWN GROCERIES!! Might want to bring a helper!! Have fun ladies!!
My advice…..don't shop on Saturday or Sunday!!! LOL…..it is a mad house and people are rude!
Also, if you have a printer that doesn't print the barcode crisply and it doesn't scan on the first time, they won't let you use it. Unlike other places they won't enter it in manually or use a hand scanner to get it to go through. So I only use the coupons that come in the paper.
Winco also is known for changing their prices daily. So one time you might go in and get a really great price and the next day it will be higher.
They don't have a weekly ad, so it will be harder to do match ups.
They don't accept credit cards! Checks, cash or debit only…. just a good heads up!
A few tips about winco:
I love love love winco!! I shop there often though it's out of my way. However I don't love love love their meat. It's not the greatest.
One cool thing is They sell pizza dough. It's this giant ball of dough for like $2!! It's in the fridge section. It's enough for one giant pizza or 2 good sized ones!
Their bulk is yes, THE best! I love it! I buy all my spices there they are hard to beat!!
Their produce is always priced great, however it sometimes doesn't last as long…so don't buy more than Ur fam can eat in a few days.
I agree with pretty much everything that's said here. No credit cards. Produce has great prices, but not good quality. If you're able to go weekday mornings they're relatively empty. Avoid the first day of the month.
I've tried internet coupons at the Kent location and have been denied. I also don't get the best response when using coupons for free products, but they still take them.
It's not my favorite store to shop at, but I go there at least once a month to get things that we don't get many coupons for and when my stockpiles run out before the next big deal.
If you got one of those Thanksgiving coupon books from safeway you are in for a few great deals! These are a couple deals I found in Oregon, so hopefully you will find these as well!
Wesson Oil, $1.88, use $1/1 = $0.88
Betty crocker brownies, $.88, use $1/2 = $0.38 each
Betty crocker cake $.79 and frosting, $.98… Use $1/2
They have some great prices!
I have shopped the marysville winco for a couple years, since it opened..the meat has always been good, prices and quality, best prices on most everything I have found, no problems with coupons, they have even hand keyed a few rare IP's for me without question.. I think our everett one will definately give albertsons a run for their money, and also think the quality, pcustomer sercice you get, etc..all depends on your store staff, etc..can be different from store to store.. I am VERY excited to have one here in everett
We were to get a Winco here but a citizen's group opposed it. Winco met with them and one by one met all their demands and then after all that they decided to not build. I was gutted. If someone could give Walmart a run for their money it would be Winco. We have a Haggen which is a great store but they are expensive. All my coupons for FREE products I have had to pay close to a dollar extra each for as they must be charging more than the MSRP then. :-/
We still got that Winco flyer in the mail though. The last Winco flyer advertising a new store opening had 5-6 coupons for FREE items. Unfortunately they are about 40 minutes away from here.
Just and fyi: In the Marysville store, they have a policy to call a manager to approve any coupon that is over $2. If you're like me and have a huge pile of coupons, many over $2, prepare for a looonnnggg wait for the manager over and over and over…
I'm in the Portland area…
Bring a reusable bag and get a 6 cent credit – they will ask how many you have and they wait until you start bagging to give the credit, so don't try and get more than you are due (they only credit used bags).
Start bagging as soon as they start ringing, otherwise you hold up the line. When they are done they will tell you your total – I put my coupons on the checkwriting stand and let them enter them while I bag. I've had no problems here with acceptance or accuracy.
DON'T go late morning on a weekend, on payday, or on the days that SS is disbursed. It's mayhem.
Their bakery rocks 🙂
I love the bulk…but comparison shop, some shelved items are cheaper. They have a high turnover on bulk so it is fresh.
The stores are very clean for the amount of traffic they get. The employees are owners so they have a stake in the profits.
Bananas – Winco sets the price once a year and doesn't deviate. They are often the cheapest in town and other stores match them.
Large Hispanic and Asian sections since that seems to be their major clientele.
One of the few places I can get cinnamon bears…or devils…or santas…their candy is great!
so where did you get the coupons? I live in Bothell and get the seattle times. Were they in the Herald?
My coupons came in the mail…don't remember if it was Friday or Saturday's mail though.
I drove by the Winco in Everett tonight and it looked like it was complete craziness! Full parking lot and it actually looked like people were waiting outside to get in the store. Looks like I'll be waiting at least a few days before I venture there. 🙂
I was at the Lacey one today and heard that today and tomorrow you don't actually need the physical store coupons to get the prices on them. I observed the cashier at the checkout and what she did seemed to confirm this: I handed her the in-ad coupon for a $2.98 12-pack of Cottonelle and the $2/1 Safeway blinkie from a month ago. She only scanned the blinkie and I got a 12-pack of TP for 98 cents. 🙂
Bought some fruit and a huuuuuge bag of $1.98 tortilla chips, too. 🙂
The Marysville store has been open for 3 1/2 years already. The coupons were issued for both stores because both of the stores are in the Snohomish county. Winco is a great store. I had spent over 20years shopping at Navy Commissaries and was not sure how I would do shopping in the real world. Marysville opened 3 months before my privileges expired. I was able to do some price comparisons. Winco won out over all. The prices are about the same or lower then the base. There is more selection, esp when it comes to using coupons. And even though there is no sales tax on the base, there is about a 7% surcharge on your whole grocery order.
