    Thumbs Down My first stock-up didn't really go as planned

    I bought 60(!) coupons on Ebay for 50c off the veggie Steamers. I got them because I knew they'd be doubled and Steamers would be 99c at Kroger, hence making them free (or better).

    So early yesterday morning I go, and they only had 9 bags. First bummer. I got a Philly cream cheese to complete my 10-item-minimum to get the $5 mega deal rebate.

    But only 3 of my coupons doubled! Apparently you can only double 3 like-coupons... but if I had 3 coupons for another product, those would double too.

    So yeah I got 3 bags free and 6 bags for 50 cents each, not a bad deal, but it sorta burst my bubble because I really wanted SIXTY bags for free.

    What a noob.

    :sad:

    Most store only double the first 3 of the same coupons, and some store only double 1 coupon. But the still will double your other coupons.
    Sorry, your first deal didn't work out as plan. We all make mistakes when we first start, as we are trying to figure out how things work out, and pretty soon you will be a pro :)

    Bummer! Depending on where your shopping just call ahead and ask about amount, how many Coupons double and how many like items you can get! My Kroger only let's you use 2 coupon on like items, but will double as many as you have up to .50 cents. As long as there are no more then 2 like items. That's why I bring Hubby when theres a good deal! LOL

    If you read the faq thread you might not have as many disappointing trips.

    We live, and we learn! Hang in there...we've all been the 'newbie' and doesn't take long at all to go from being a newbie to being the coupon wizard.....
