The following coupon types are accepted by Albertsons:
  1. Manufacturer Coupons are coupons issued by the manufacturer containing: "terms of agreement", face value, expiration date, and verbiage "manufacturer coupon." Albertsons may issue coupons such as printed ad media coupons, avenu, or Shop n' Scan coupons that are manufacturer coupons that contain the words "redeemable only at Albertsons."
