Cut Your Grocery Bill In Half! with Stephanie Nelson, The Coupon Mom
As Seen On:

Start by finding out the answers to these questions by checking the Coupon Mom site's Learn to Coupon section and scrolling down the page to find your stores' policies, or ask your store manager or Customer Service department these questions:

1. Does this store double coupons?  Up to what amount?  For example, stores may have a policy of doubling coupons up to 50 cents, meaning the 50 cent face value would be doubled to $1 off.  Any coupon 51 cents or higher will be deducted at face value.  Keep in mind that double coupon policies can vary by store, even within the same chain in the same city.  It pays to ask.

2. Does this store have a limit on the number of like coupons that can be doubled?  For example, let's assume your store has a limit of 4 like coupons that can be doubled.  If Brand X cereal was on sale, and you had six 50-cent coupons for Brand X cereal, you would want to get four boxes and use four coupons in one order so that all four coupons would be doubled.  You should save the remaining two coupons for a future order so they would also be doubled.  If you bought all six boxes in one order with this policy, four of the coupons would be doubled and two of the coupons would be deducted at face value, so your savings would be less than if you saved the extra coupons for a future order.
