First Good Sales w/ coupons ?

[Luv Savings]

Am working on my shopping list and matching prices and for the first time matching the coupons.... As you know I am new here. I'm going to start out slow.... like in a wk or 2 I was going to try to start a stockpile. But really going to gather the coupons but as Im going through the sales paper and matching the coupons with what I need now..... I think I just found myself my first good deal .... Please let me know ....

pop tarts $1.79 (sale) then it says coupon in Sunday paper .... since I have children I know I would have cut that.... I did ... since you are aloud to print 2 coupons I did that too..... which now I have 3 coupons for a 1.oo off

So I can get 3 pop tarts for 1.79 - 1.oo thats .79 per box right?
1.79 x 3 = 5.37 (sale price) .79 x 3= 2.37

am I figuring this right? and Is that a good deal? also can you use 2 printed coupons at the same time?

It depends what the coupon says. But most coupons you can use a manufacturer coupon and a store coupon at the same time.

you have a pop tart printable for $1 off 1? or is that printable coupon for $1/3?

Sale says - 1.79 a box ...... Coupons all 3 that I have Manufactures 1 - from newspaper 2 - printable all 3 coupons is 1.oo off

I think they're all $1 off 3 boxes. So to use 1 coupon, you buy 3 boxes. To use 2 coupons, you buy 6 boxes. To use 3 coupons, you buy 9 boxes. Each $1 coupon covers 3 items, not 1. So here's the math:

3 boxes at 1.79 each = 5.37
$1 off 3 boxes - 1.00
= 4.37 for all 3 or 1.46 each NOT .79 each

Coupon says 1.oo off any Three .. Is that not 1 box ?
I typed the any just like on coupon

[Luv Savings]

sorry I typed the Three just like the coupon

NO, that means you get $1 when you buy 3 boxes. If your store sale is 3 boxes for $1.79, then you could use one coupon and it would be 79¢ for 3.

My Copp's store has Pop Tarts on sale 1 box for $1.68. I'd have to buy 3 boxes to use the $1/3 coupon.

If this is like the printable you have then it's $1 off when you buy 3 BOXES:
Kellogg's Pop Tarts Or Mini Crisps, Any 6 Ct. Or Larger - Bricks

Store has 1.79 for pop tarts (per box) and the Coupon says
Save $1.oo on any THREE packages of ............

So the coupon is saying I have to buy 3 boxes to save 1.oo?

Sorry this is more confusing when you really start looking for the sales.....

See my post. That is how the price will breakdown. It is confusing at first, but it will become easier as time goes on.
