How do I tell the difference between a store coupon and a manufacturers coupon?
Here is a great article showing you how to tell if you have a manufacturer coupon or store coupon. {return to top}
What does it mean that a coupon “doubles?”
When a coupon doubles, it means that the store will discount your order the same as what is on the coupon. Most stores “double” the worth of the coupon up to $1. For example, if you purchase an item that is $2 and use a $.50 off coupon, the store would take off an additional $.50 and you would get that item for $1. Doubling policies vary greatly from store to store, even within the same store chain. Please check with your store for details. {return to top}
What does it mean that a store “fully doubles?”
This means that the store will discount your order on any coupon that is $.99 or less, up to $2. For example, you purchase an item that is $2 and use a $.75 off coupon. Your store will take off an additional $.75 and you get that item for $.50. {return to top}
What are some coupon ethics?
A lot of couponing is black and white, but there are gray areas as well. Some tips to make sure you’re using coupons properly and ethically are:
-
-
- Follow the terms on the coupon itself. Read the small print. If it says only use 2 like coupons per transaction, then only use 2 in one transaction.
- Know the coupon policy at your store before you go. Print it out and take it with you if necessary. It’s always a good idea to know if you’re following the rules and to know when your cashier might not be.
- If it seems like a gray area and it doesn’t feel right, don’t do it. You’ll feel better knowing that you are respecting your own morals and values.
-
- Under no circumstances may coupons be photocopied.

What does the small print on my coupon mean?
One of the biggest questions about this is what does “one coupon per purchase” mean? One “purchase” applies to one of the items specified on the coupon, or one set of items specified on the coupon. Be sure to check out understand the terms of coupons here. {return to top}
What is stacking?
Stacking is when you use a store coupon/discount and a manufacturer coupon to purchase one item. This post here has detailed info on stacking. {return to top}
What is a double dip?
This happens when one, or several, items qualify for multiple offers. You would see something like this if you were able to do an instant savings deal and then also qualified for a Catalina OYNO coupon for buying the same items. {return to top}
What is considered a high value coupon?
A high value coupon is a coupon that gives a large discount on a particular item before doubling. {return to top}
