Since TLC Extreme Couponing has taken off this is one of the things I am emailed about most.
Consumers are aggressively seeking coupons to save money but are not sure what the coupon terms are and when they can use them.
Question 1
You can't use a coupon for something that is on sale can you?
Answer: Yes, you most certainly can!
Question #2
I have this coupon that says "can not be used with any other offer". Does that mean I can't use the coupon when the item is on sale?
Answer: You can most definitely use the coupon when the item is on sale. Can not be used with any other offer means that you can only use one coupon and not "Stack" or use multiple coupons for each individual item.
Example If you were purchasing 2 bottles of shampoo and your coupon said "not to be used with any other offer" you could use 1 coupon per bottle.
Question #3
My coupon says " limit 1 per purchase". Does that mean if I purchase 3 items I can only use 1 coupon?
Answer: No, 1 per purchase means that you can use 1 coupon per each item.
Example If you are shopping and buy seven items each of those items is it's own purchase so you are making seven "purchases". All of these purchases combined make up a Transaction.
Question #4
My Coupon says "Limit, 1 per transaction" or "One coupon per customer". What does that mean?
Answer: This means you can only use 1 coupon for your transaction. If I have a coupon that says this and I want to use 2 coupons I would complete my transaction then have my husband make a separate transaction.

I have had some really good deals at Shopper's Drug Mart lately on items on their Sunday Monday sale only. One week they had Sunlight dish detergent on for $.99. I had four coupons for $1.00 off. I used them and technically they payed me a cent to take them ( however the item is still taxed).This week Palmolive is on sale ( all week) for $.99. two weeks ago on the local newspaper were coupons for $1.00 off. I don't need dish detergent now, but it stores well in the pantry and will get used. Just thought I would mention it.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the clarification!
ReplyDeleteYour welcome :o)
ReplyDeletei'm still confused can you example all details...what do they means when they say the coupons doubles in price
ReplyDeleteDoubling coupons is when they take the value of the coupon and double it. A 50 cent coupon doubles to $1. Some stores limit it to 3 double coupons per person or will only double the value up to $1.
ReplyDeleteYou can take a look at this post I wrote for further clarification.
