the only ones that double are albertsons, on occasion, not every week, sometimes on sunday, and sometimes in the tuesday flyer..they will include coupons that will "match your manufacture coupons up to and including $1.00" we got none last sunday, and doesn't look like any coming this sunday.....just have to watch the thread for NW albies to see.
good lukc, pm me anytime with questions, or if I can help with anything

I'm in Oregon (Portland Metro). I have been terrorizing the local Rite Aids, Safeways, and Albertsons for the past few months. What I have found is:

Safeway weekly AD has "coupon" to use with 4 MFG coupons and they will double up to $.50 for a total of $2.00.

Have not found this recently but, when I was doing this years ago (about 5), Safeway would occasionally put in the Sunday paper what they called "triples" this is actually a true double. These "triples" would increase the $.50 to $1.00 for anywhere from 4 to 10 MFG coupons.

Albertsons will put 3 doubles in their weekly ads on occasion. These will double a MFG coupon up to $1.00 for a total of $3.00.

Albertsons will also put inserts in the Sunday paper with 3 doubles good for 3 days (Sunday to Tuesday). These have been fairly consistant. I get my Tuesday paper with the grocery store ads and then wait until Sunday for the doubles.

Both Albertsons and Safeway have put $10 off $50 coupons in the Sunday paper. Sometimes in the Tuesday food section. Safeway does the $10 off $50 more than Albertsons.

A few tips/tricks. I check the Tuesday Food Day section for extra coupons (store and MFG).

I also check the first section of the Sunday paper. Safeway and Albertsons like to hide doubles and $10 off $50 coupons there.

I get the Oregonian newspaper and the Sunday Statesman Journal (Salem). Couldn't hurt to check the Seattle Times and other local papers (I'd check them for at least 4 - 6 weeks).

Good luck!!

Reviving an older thread and I'm northeast of Seattle, in Snohomish, and no one doubles around here.

I'm on the Kitsap Peninsula and am new to serious couponing. It seems impossible to get the huge discounts like I've seen on TV... $600+ of groceries for $2.95!! I spend a lot of time comparing prices and most of the time when I get to the store with a coupon it's cheaper to pay full price for the store brand. I'm willing to learn tho or figure it out with someone else.

Safeway up here doesn't put the 50 cent doublers in our ads like southern WA & OR get.

Even without stores that double continuely there are still deals to be had. Just watch the forums for the stores you have locally and jump on the deals when they come around. March should be good for frozen food deals so get those coupons ready!
