1.  Does your store double or triple coupons?

Double means two times the amount of the coupon

Triple means three times the amount of the coupon

At most stores, your coupon will be accepted at face value. BUT some stores
double or even triple coupons. So a .50 cent coupon that is doubled will be
worth $1.00. and a .35 cent coupon that is tripled will now be worth $1.05.

This saving can quickly add up and you may even be getting the product for
free.

In other words what is the highest amount of a coupon that will triple?
Usually up to and including 35 cents.

And what is the highest amount of a coupon that will double? Usually it is
up to an including 50 cents.

If I am buying three toothpastes and I have three coupons for 35 cents each.
Will they triple only the first coupon only or all three. This depends on the
store policy.

3.  Can you combine store coupons with manufacturer coupons?

Store coupons are only to be used at a specific retailer They can be found
in the sales add or in home mailers. They are usually identified with the store
logo. Look carefully because all in ad coupons are not store coupons. They may
be manufacturer coupons. What you need to investigate is if you can combine the
store coupon and a manufacturer coupon for the same item. Some stores will let
you do this.

4.  Do they accept competitor coupons? Will they take other stores
coupons?

For example can you bring in a coupon for a gift card with new prescription
from another pharmacy and have the coupon honored.

You will find that these policies vary by store.

5.  Do you have a store loyalty card? 

They will help you save more money. But make sure you always give your card
to the cashier first, or at least before any coupons. Sometimes it is the only
way that you will be able to get sale prices or the double / triple coupons.

The key to saving money, is to combine the lowest sale price of an
item that you can find with a coupon.

Combining the two will provide the best savings.
