Which means that if you had a coupon for .50 cents off One jar of any Mott’s Applesauce - you could get one jar of Mott’s applesauce with one coupon. If you had 4 coupons, you would get 4 jars.
If the coupon states a size or certain flavor — you would match up the size and flavor.

Some coupons say .50 cents off 2. Which means you would get two jars of applesauce and get .50 cent off.

There are people who have been doing couponing for over 20 years and have been saving a boat load of money by strategically matching coupons to sales.

There is such a small percentage of people who shop like this…the extreme couponers hardly make a dent in store profits.

The important thing is to check the stores coupon policy. The stores near me to do not take internet coupons you print off on your printer but in other places, people use internet coupons all the time. Some areas do not have double coupon stores at all.

In my area, we have double coupon stores. Some stores do not limit the amount of coupons you can use in one transaction. Some stores limit coupons to a certain amount per day–say 20.

The other night I used 33 coupons for the 33 products I bought. Most of those coupons were doubled as well and I checked myself out through the self-checkout lane. Easy as a boxed cake mix;-)

haha, great story though, i hope that the management doesn’t get mad and change their policy on you!

I love that story— That sounds like something that would happen to me at the store!!

Earlier today, Phillip and I went to the store together and since it’s at the end of the month, we are (of course) at the end of our budget…so we were forgoing a lot of “frivelous” items and just getting the basic needs. While we were checking out, I saw a basket of french bread at the cashier and a sign that read - “Hot or free!” Since there was only one baguette left and it was nearing the end of the day, I figured it probably wasn’t hot anymore. Seeing that my guess was right, I pointed it out to our teenaged boy cashier. He just looked at my with the blankest look I have ever seen and said, “uuuuuuuummmmmmmm. I think I need to call management.” In my mind I was thinking “Seriously? The sign says as much right here and it’s only 99 cents!” But I just said “Ok, thanks.” (by the way, Phillip was doing everything he could not to laugh out loud at this point…) So the manager gets there and I point out to her about the “hot or free” policy. To which she actually says, “What are you talking about? We have no such policy! Where did you see that?” I just point to the sign literally right in front of her.
Her response, “oh. I’ve never noticed that before. Hold on.” She then goes over to the bakery and is gone for SEVERAL minutes - holding up an already agitated line. After about 5 minutes, she comes back from the bakery with a fresh loaf right out of the oven…that she made me pay for!!!!
I was so upset. But I was also completely dumbfounded. So I just stood there with my mouth open, took the bread and we left. Phillip, by this time, was cracking up - then he says, “ok, she missed the entire point of that promotion and you REALLY need to call back tomorrow and talk to a different manager about that.”
It’s not about the measily 99 cents (no worries…we can afford a buck for bread;) ) But it’s the princaple of the fact - if you’re going to advertise a deal, then back it up, you know????

p.s. thanks for all the homeschooling help/encouragment!
