The Whole Foods coupon policy is not available online to print or view. Whole Food’s coupon policy does vary by location, so please ask your local store about their policy.

Whole Foods accepts the following types of coupons:
  • Printable Store or Manufacturer Coupons
  • Standard Store or Manufacturer Coupons
Most stores do allow you to stack a store coupon with a manufacturer coupon to maximize savings.

--- TIPS + TRICKS ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  • Whole Foods policies vary by location, so always ask your store about their policies.
  • Whole Foods prices may vary slightly by location, but are typically comparable.
  • Most Whole Foods allow coupon stacking, but a few may not. It varies by location, so ask your store about their policy.

  • Bring a reusable bag for $0.10 your bill for every bag you use.

--- FAQs -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Q: How many are in a case?

A: Look at the numbers on the UPC Bar Code on the shelf below the product. There will be one or two number ranging from 5-20 that is all by itself, next to the individual serving size number. This is the number of products you have to purchase to equal a full case for your 10% discount. Always tell your cashier you purchased a case to get your discount.
I recommend considering buying bulk non-perishable items that you often purchase and staples like baking supplies, spices. In addition, this is a great way to save on items you can’t typically find a coupon or bargain for. Keep in mind, that honoring case discounts may vary by location.


Q: I have trouble getting Whole Foods to accept my coupons. Any advice?

A: While they are learning and trying, Whole Foods is not yet the most coupon-savvy store. My advice is to be friendly to the cashiers and managers. Building a good loyal relationship is usually the best way to save money. If you do have issues, don’t hesitate to contact headquarters for assistance.
