Double  or Twice the Value Tips
  • Remember as of 6/26/11 Albertsons store will NO LONGER pass out twice the value coupon, you must bring them from your paper you get at home. Learn how to get your Sunday papers low as $.28 each.
  • You can use 3 twice the value (double coupons) per family per shopping trip per transaction.  Ask your local store how many transactions they will let you do…. each store will vary a bit on this issue.
  • They will double any coupon up to the value of $1.00 making that coupon twice its value.  SO if you use a .75 cent coupon it will double up to $1.50 or if you use a $1.00 coupon it will double to $2.00.
  • They will not double a coupon for $1.01 or more.
  • You do have to pay sales tax on the full sales price of the item, before coupons.
  • You can NOT get overage from using a twice the value coupon, so if your item is $1.79 and you have a $1.00 MFR coupon they will only double it up to the $1.79 making the item free… but NOT allowing overage.
  • Albertsons will now allow  you to use coupons that say Do Not Double with a twice the value coupon…..Great News!!!
  • Albertsons double or ” twice the value” coupons, are normally found in the Sunday ad that comes in the paper.  They DO NOT come every week, and normally only last 3 days.  Click here to learn how to get your Sunday papers low as $.28 each.

Many of you have told me today that you have been able to get Nestle Candy Bars for only $1.00 a bag…. so I went to the store but the lowest I could get them for was $1.50 a bag.   If you did get them for $1 what did you do differently?

Here is how I was able to do it

Nestle Fun Size Bags $2.50 each (normally $3.99)

  • used the Manufacturer coupon in the ad for $1.00 off 2 making them 2 for $4
  • then use a store “twice the value” coupon took another $1.00 off
  • Final price $3.00 for two bags or $1.50 each

Update**** there have been some question bought up about what the Cover Girl Face product coupon cover.  Let me first just say I  would never use a coupon in the wrong way on purpose… that being said I am human and WILL make mistakes.  There seems to be many ideas of what is covered with the “face” and what is not.  I went to the store and looked for items with the same code hopping that was the items covered by the coupon.  I in no way was trying to buy the wrong  product.  Now I am more confused than ever as to what is covered and what is not.  SO since there is some question on this… I put in an email to P&G the ones who made the coupon. Asking them to define what is included in the “face line”.  I will update you with my finding... Please know I would never try to mislead you or use a coupon in a wrong way.  

Before sale price or coupons this would have cost $13.11

WALGREENS TIPS

  • Some store have placed limits on coupon deals to read more click here
  • To view Walgreens official coupon policy click here
  • Can I use a coupon and still have a Register Reward print, click here.
  • I always check out at the cosmetics counter, and if anyone comes behind me I let them go first, so I do not hold up the line.
  • One thing to remember about Walgreens RR (register reward) is you can not use a “chap stick RR” to pay for another chap stick and have another RR print. BUT you can use a “toothpaste” RR to pay for chap stick and have another RR print.
  • Also remember that Walgreens has a coupon item ratio rule, you can only use as many coupons as you have items. They count RR as coupons. So if I was only buying 4 items ( all of which had manufacture coupons which meant my item coupon ratio was already 4 to 4) I wanted to pay with a RR I would need to ad a filler item something cheap like a pencil. This would then make my coupon ration 5 ( 4 manufacturer coupons and 1 register reward) and my item ratio 5. I then could pay with my coupons and RR with no problem. An instore coupon does NOT count as a coupon in this ratio….just as a sale price.
  • Also remember that only one RR per product will print per transaction. For example If wanted to buy 3 bottles of Aussie shampoo. In order to have 2 RR print for each one I had to buy them in 3 transactions. My store is happy to let me go thru the line more than once ……but some store will limit you.
  • You can not pay for sales tax with a RR
