Being a total Rookie, I still don't understand the whole multiple coupon idea, all the places I've shopped at for "want" items, only allow 1 coupon at a time and they cannot be combined with any other offer, see I work at OfficeMax in a customer service call center and we won't let anyone use multiple coupons or combine coupons with even a sale item. But then again office supplies are not neccessarily needs anyway. Also how do I know when stores will double or triple your coupons? I love the idea of having a stockpile of food. It has been very depressing for me to have my kids ask for something to eat and I have only a few things if any to give them. Having a stockpile would really help my self esteem I think.
