Recently started following your blog & love it! New to couponing & have a Q: Can you use 2 coupons together for 1 item? (re: using your energizer batteries coupons) I tried doing that once & they just scanned the highest coupon & said that's all they could take.
ReplyDeleteThat is an excellent question, and one that I found very confusing at first, too. You are absolutely right that you can only use 1 manufacturer's coupon per item. However, at most stores you can "stack" coupons and use one store coupon in conjunction with one manufacturer's coupon. That way the store is paying for one of the coupons, while the manufacturer is paying for the other one.
ReplyDeleteFor stores like Publix that take competitor's coupon, the competitor's coupon will take the place of a store coupon. (For example, my Publix accepts Target coupons as competitor coupons.) Generally you cannot use 3 coupons at the same time (store, competitor, and manufacturer's) since the store and competitor coupons are the same thing in the eyes (and bottom line) of the store.
I hope that helps. I am planning to post a "rule book" with this sort of explanations very soon, so please post any other questions you might have. I guarantee that someone else probably has the same question!
I love saving money on grocery's! Coupons are great:)
ReplyDeleteThanks for following my blog, I'm following you back!
Thank you for answering that question! (I was the anonymous question above) That definitely clarifies things. I am looking fwd to stacking coupons - especially now that I know Publix accepts competitor's coupons!
