Purchase vs. Transaction

One of the most confusing things about using coupons, understanding what all the terms and words really mean.

This is a very brief description.  I could elaborate more, but let’s just get to it.

PURCHASE:        

“Limit One Coupon per Purchase” means that you can have one coupon per item that you have to buy.  Each individual item is considered a purchase. Every product that you buy is a purchase.

For example:
If you were to buy three tubes of toothpaste…
Each tube is considered a purchase and you may use a coupon for each item. That is IF the store lets you use multiple coupons at a time. Some stores limit the number of coupons you can use for your entire transaction. This is were it is beneficial to know the coupon policies of the store your frequently shop.

Can you make more than one Purchase at a time?
Yes, it is fine to buy one or more item at a time. Just think of the inconvieinence it would cause to buy on item a time. The lines would be so very long and completely unbearable.

TRANSACTION:

What is a Transaction?
A transaction is all the items (purchases) added together to create one total $ amount.

The total of your groceries, or the price you pay for everything at the register.

Hope this helps in understanding the wording on a coupon.
