The following question comes from Mia :
If I have a coupon for $3 off of two items and $1 off of one item can I use the $3 off of two and a $1 off of each of those items for a total of $5 off of the two items?
hey Mia!
The short answer is: No.
The long answer is: you can only use 1 manufacturers coupon per item...so if you have a coupon that is $3 off 2, for example, that coupon will attach to BOTH items. In order to use those 2 other $1/1 coupons, you would need to purchase 2 additional items.
Just FYI - many stores will allow you to use a $x/2 coupon when they have are having a Buy 1 Get 1 Free sale, so make sure to check your local store's coupon policy (available on the website of most grocery stores) to see if your store allows it. That is a great way to maximize the value of your coupon!
