Question:
I have a coupon question that I did not see the answer to on your coupon 101 page. I am just getting started and purchased multiple papers for the first time this week. I see that there is a .50/off eight yoplait coupon as well as a .40/six yoplait. Since I purchased three papers, I have three of each. If I purchase eight yoplait cups will they let me use all six coupons since there are eight items or is one coupon since it covers eight yoplait containers?
Answer:
I get this question about once a week so I thought I would do a post on it to help clear up any questions others may have. You can use one manufacturer coupon per item. But if the manufacturer coupon states $1.00 off 2 them you can only use one coupon per two items. Or in the above example you can only use one coupon ( for .50 cents off 
per 8 items.
In some cases you can use two coupons per item this is called Stacking your coupons- You are able to do this when you use a in-store coupon ( a coupon that the store prints, normally in the weekly ad. It will have the store logo on it) along with a MFR (manufacturer coupon). You do have to be careful because some stores like Target have their store logo on manufacturer coupons. When you use the in-store coupon and the MFR coupon together this is called “stacking” your coupons. So watch for those in-store coupons, and see if you have a MFR coupon to go along with it.
Julie it really depends on your store…my local stores will not let you use an instore coupon and a twice the value coupon together…but other stores will
I was wondering if I can use the Albertsons peanut butter Q for $.99 with a man Q and a doubler? The Albertsons coupon says cannot be combined with Twice the Value Q or combined with any other offer. Will this work or is it a lost cause?
Please also remember that trying to sneak coupons in for stuff you don’t have or trying to stack more than is allowed is dishonest. I have an extended family member who brags about going into stores and looking for the most inexperienced checker and seeing how many coupons she can stack on a single product. When I brought up the fact that this was dishonest, she got all huffy and told me that it wasn’t her fault that the stores don’t train their checkers better. Obviously she gets a “high” from getting away with something. In any case, please remember to respect the store’s policy and keep in mind that your integrity is NOT worth trading for fifty cents.
Some stores will limit how many coupons you can use. Example, at Walmart, I had six Tide $1 off coupons (good for any Tide product) but the register would only accept three of the coupons for three travel Tides and rejected the remaining three for the remaining three travel Tides. No biggie since I just had to have a second transaction.
This was good info you shared. I wanted to pass on that I have been able to use 4 coupons per variety and have also combined coupons.
Just shopped at Shoprite, had these amazing .50 cent coupons (doubled) on a whole slew of Lysol Cleaning products and was able to get 4 of each product on sale. I got some items for .84 cents (usually $2.99).
Now I have done the ’stacking’ thing myself. I have combined several coupons (2 for say .60) on some sales and even was able to use up to 8 of these coupons, because I had gotten a mix of variety of stuff (vegetables).
In the end I paid about .30 a box (app) and walked out with loads of vegetables for both Thanksgiving and New Years Eve dinners (to go with the free turkeys I got for shopping/spending x amount).
Another thing to remember is that some stores do limit the amount of coupons per sale/item. If they offer a courtesy or reward card, apply for another one or have someone lend you a card, etc I have never had a problem with doing this, as long as I seperate the orders.
Well, hope that this helps abit more. Take care, Patricia
