Stacking vs Piggybacking

[amanda.humbert]

i am new to this whole coupon thing and have a few questions on how to drastically reduce my grocery bill. When I have a coupon that says buy 4 get .50 off can i use 4 coupons ?

i am new to this coupon thing and was wondering if i could use 4 coupons when it says buy 4 of whatever item and save .50?

No, unfortunately not. If the coupon says 50 cents off of 4 then it means you have to buy the 4 before you get 50 cents off. So that coupon will be linked to those four items. You won't be able to use another coupon in addition unless it is a store coupon. :\ I dislike those coupons where it says you have to buy more than two to use them.. But it's still a savings. .Hope that helped! Happy couponing!

I was wondering this too.. i would be very embarrased if it beeped and i had to try to explain this to the clerk... i had thought about asking the manager at my favorite store if this was ok to do... and maybe he would try it out for me...

Right now there are q's for chinet out there. and i have one for buy chinet get napkins free.. and they just happen to be on sale..LOL.. it would be great... But i just still don't know if they would think i am trying to pull something illegal...

As with so many other things in life, the easiest thing to do is try it. The worst thing that can happen is they say no. Big whoop!

A second option is asking in advance. I haven't run across a person who is insulted by being asked a sincere question with the intention of learning.

This is so helpful! I've been wanting to get into couponing and I'm glad I found this site!

I have a question about piggybacking and a $xxx of MILK wyb these Keebler cookies coupon with this wording: Consumer: Limit 1 coupon per purchase of products indicated".

Does this wording mean no more piggybacking? The scenario is so similar to the original piggybacking example, but the bolded fine print has me wondering if there won't be piggybacking anymore.

Alright I going to go tommorow to our local price chopper, I am wondering if coupons says limit four like coupons per purchase and for instance there is this one
a $1 off two tides, and I have two different coupons but for the same amount am I alloud to stack them?

I think most/all Tide coupons now say 4 per transaction. You cannot stack 2 of the $1 off 2 Tide coupons if they are both manufacturer coupons. One of the $1 off 2 Tide coupons will attach to the 2 Tide and you cannot use another manufacturer coupon on the same 2 Tide. You may be able to use a price chopper coupon on them, I'm not familiar with that store's policies.

I guess that I did this when I bought my Cheez it crackers. Tom Thumb had them b1g1 free and I had a q for $1.00/2. But I didn't know that it was called piggybacking.
