We need maybe three or four onions a week in our household. Sometimes from Migros, often now also from Lidl, because they are often nicer and not so big. But Migros has now selected us for the second time in a short space of time with a 20% discount coupon. If we just happen to buy them at Migros, that might give us an advantage of 20 centimes. It makes you wonder if Migros can't think of anything better.
Migros is just trying to encourage you to buy onions at Migros more often again... We also get such "advantage coupons" from time to time; practically all of them expire because we don't use them because of par centimes, and apart from that we only very rarely buy vegetables/fruit at Migros (the competition is far better in terms of quality and shelf life, and in some cases cheaper).
In some cases, we practically only get discount coupons for products that we have bought once (to try them out) and then haven't bought again (because we don't like them, because they are too expensive, because they are better elsewhere, etc.). Such coupons also expire very often or we let them expire because they are not really advantageous...
Hello migimaho Thank you for your feedback. The compilation of the advantage coupons is customized for different customer groups based on the evaluation of marketing data. For this reason, you may receive advantage coupons that other customers do not find in the statement and vice versa. The coupons are printed once and as an additional supplement to the actual Cumulus statement. The offers always vary slightly. At the checkout you will also receive advantage coupons from time to time, often for a product that you have already bought, but often also for products that you do not yet know. We hope that in this way we can offer you a suitable advantage when buying your favourite items and at the same time inspire you to buy new products. Kind regards Sofia

Hi migimaho, as a rule I also find the coupons unnecessary. You don't change your shopping habits because of a few centimes and it would also be counterproductive to buy more than you need just to save money. However, I find the coupon for onions in particular super practical, as onions never seem to go bad. In my case, I live near a Migros and always buy heavy groceries like onions and potatoes there.
Is the new coupon sheet that came separately to the Cumulus statement something new? So in a monthly overview week by week.↵↵I only have coupons that I can use. From products/groups that I have bought and they are all redeemable 1:1 (yay 30% on the Excellence yogurt, most delicious in the world, hope soo much until then Linzertorte stays in there😁)
Hello Bodenseeknusperli In this case, you have received the special sheet by post. This campaign is initially intended for Easter. I can't say whether further campaigns like this will be launched in the future, but I'm pleased that you can use all the discount coupons. Best regards Sofia

In terms of quality, the onions in "my" stores are to die for. The ones from Denner and Lidl are definitely better.

This is of course extremely annoying:/ Then even the best discounts are of no use to the market.

That's how it is. But what annoys me most is that we practically always (probably because of our purchasing behavior and the Cumulus data etc.) only receive discount/advantage coupons for products that we have bought once or twice and then not again (because the product is too expensive or the price/performance is not right, because we were dissatisfied for other reasons, because the competition is better/cheaper or similar etc.). It's a real shame that we have to let these coupons expire or throw them away. Just because we receive an "advantage coupon" doesn't mean that we immediately run to Migros and redeem it; if we can use it, then we're happy to redeem it, but if it concerns products (and that's 80-90% of the time) that we no longer buy, then the coupon simply ends up unused in the bin... It's a shame, especially because we receive the same coupon again a few months later (and then dispose of it too, because we still don't run to Migros to buy that product just because it comes back).

I completely understand your frustration, it's just unnecessary waste production! But I do understand Migros' way of thinking, using coupons to persuade customers to buy again. Maybe you've tried them out and liked them, but don't really need them? With a coupon, you might buy it again and integrate the product into your shopping cycle after all... Discounts on products that you buy anyway are less worthwhile for the market. But the whole system can be quite annoying for us customers...

I also understand Migros' way of thinking/strategy... It's just a bit disappointing when you get a coupon/receipt every time by post or at the checkout that you can't use or for which you have no use (you're happy to get a receipt when you buy so little at Migros, but then it's one you can't do anything with); especially because we shop less and less at Migros because so many of our favorite products have been taken out of the range... It is what it is, we can't change it. I just think it's a shame that you can't pass these vouchers on to family members who could use them, for example, because the vouchers are linked to your own Cumulus card. Janu.

Today I experienced another typical fail for discount coupons, because after buying 14 six-packs of Aproz (1/4 year's supply) I received a 20x Aproz voucher, valid for 14 days.
