When I first started couponing and I read that a store doubles a coupon up to 99 cents I was under the impression that if you had a coupon that was 75 cents they would take off 99 cents total for that coupon.  This is not the way it works when a store doubles up to 99 cents that means if you get a 99 cent coupon (very rare occasionally friskies or purina will have a printable like this)  This coupon will double and take off 1.98 from the products cost. 

Another thing with doubling is most stores will say they will double 4 like coupons...  What does this mean exactly???  I will tell you it means if you have 5 of the same exact coupon for lets say 50 cents off the nescafe coffee sticks for instance they are a dollar right now at tops.  If you get 5 coffee sticks boxes and do just one transaction so all 5 products and 5 coupons are in the same transcation the first 4 of the 50 cent coupons will double to 1 dollar the 5th will only take off its face value.  If I had 50 cents off another product coupon in that transaction it would not be a "like" coupon and therefor it would double. 

Those of us who have been doing this so long don't even think about throwing around terms like old and new barcode coded to double will double but says don't.  How do we know???  How can you tell??  Well I am hoping this new section of my blog can and will answer all those questions feel free to use the contact form below to ask me coupon questions I want everyone to be able to save a ton of $$$  that is my goal so ask!!!  Your question may be featured on the next segment of this blog page!!!
