I have store coupons that expire on Jan 31, and I was wondering if I can pair them with *similar* (not the same) coupons that expire on March.
For example:
$3 off any ONE FlorEssence Tea Blend
$3 off any ONE 17 oz Flor-Essence Tea Blend
Both are store coupons for the FlorEssence brand, but one of the coupons are for any Floressence item while the other is for a specific item. They also have different barcodes.
Both coupons say "limit one coupon per purchase of specified products per individual". I know it doesn't mean I can't use 2 coupons with the same specification/barcodes for 1 product, but the specification/barcodes are different for my two coupons. Can I combine them?
Also I have two store-coupons that have the same specification ($1 off for 2 boxes of Choice Organic Teas) but different barcodes and expiry dates. Can I combine them? These are also limit one coupon per purchase of specified products.
You definitely cannot use more than one manufacturer coupon per item.
The issue is what is a store, what is a mfg. coupon? Store coupons say "Redeem only at XXX" and have no address or instructions to the store on how/where to mail them. Some store coupons have bar codes, some do not...it just depends on the chain. Your best bet for finding store coupons is in their sale flyers or on displays in the store. You cannot stack two Store or two Manufacturer coupons...only one of each...depending on your store's rules.
Your best bet is to google your preferred store's name and "coupon blogger" and visit the one with the biggest readership. They have the store policies online and all coupon matchups for the weekly sale ads.
"Multiple Whole Deal coupons for the same item in one transaction can be used as long as there is an individual coupon for each item purchased"
So I am guessing I can get my $3 tea blend coupon and the other $3 tea blend coupon (with different specification and bar codes) on one tea blend item?
Candy: I'd be interested in knowing the answer if you do ask the management. That has got to be one of the most ambiguous coupon policies I've ever read. I think they may be leaving management a lot of wiggle room.
$3 off any ONE FlorEssence Tea Blend
$3 off any 17 oz Flor-Essence Tea Blend
Also I have two store-coupons that have the same specification ($1 off for 2 boxes of Choice Organic Teas) but different barcodes and expiry dates. Can I combine them? These are also limit one coupon per purchase of specified products.
Publix will let you stack a Publix coupon with a manufacturer's coupon.
You appear to have two different coupons.
1. $3/1 any FlorEssence Tea Blend
2. $3/1 17 ounce FlorEssence.
In our stores, you could use the "any" coupon on "any" FlorEssence.
Use the $3/1 17 ounce only on a 17 ounce FlorEssence.
And at Publix as an example, use the $1/2 on the two you bought using your 2 insert coupons.
In our area, what CS tells you, etc. is called YMMV. Your mileage may vary. Different managers can have different interpretations of what the wording on a coupon means.
We have another store and we were at the register and the manager came over and said "we do not take coupons on items that are on sale."
Almost all stores have registers that scan the coupons. Either the coupon will work or it won't. They'll let you know. I find the coupon thing confusing so I let the register do it.
We have a mix. Some stores have self checkout lanes. One lets you the customer, scan the coupon and drop it in the drop box where a green light recognizes that a coupon has been deposited. Another store you hand the coupons to the self checkout attendant and they scan them. At the regular registers, the clerks scan the coupons, can override one that does not scan or call a manager over for assistance. And we have a store that will not accept any coupon no matter how real and valid it is, if it will not scan.
Just because they are two different MFQs it does not mean you can use them on one item.
BUT if you have a Whole Foods Q (one that Whole Foods puts out that is only valid within its store) and a manufacturer's Q (issued by the product maker) you can stack them on one item. So $1 off from Whole Foods and $3 off from the MF equals $4 off on one item. That could make the item free, cheap or even a money-maker. By money-maker, I mean that the value of the coupon(s) is more than the cost of the item. At some stores you can get the amount of the coupon(s) deducted from your transaction, even if the item cost is less.
