Getting Started: Stacking Coupons

There are two types of coupons: manufacturer coupons and store coupons.
Most stores let you combine a manufacturer coupon with a store coupon on the same item -  this is referred to as "stacking". 

Store coupons can be found as IP's, in store flyers, in Sunday inserts and in coupon books in the store.  As you are shopping keep your eyes open for store coupons. 

Go directly to the store's website for IP's of store coupons.

When stacking, ALWAYS hand over the manufacturer coupons first, and then the store coupons.  This will allow for overage when the coupon values are greater than the item's value.  If the store coupons are scanned first and the manufacturer coupon is greater than the amount left for the item, the coupons will beep and the register and cashier will not allow the overage.  Yes, you can get paid to take free things home from the store!!
