Newbie with question!

Okay, so I am venturing in the world of couponing and have a few questions. When manufacturers say ONE COUPON per purchase, do they mean that specific coupon or just one coupon of any kind?? I am excited about hitting up Kmart for their double days the end of this month and have been working on what I'll be purchasing. Here is what I've got so far..you ladies let me know if you think its good or I am wrong somewhere??

PS - I checked Kmart's prices last night on this stuff, so I know or at least think they'll be the same in 2 weeks.

Purchase:

4 Huggies wipes 64ct for $2.79 ea = $11.16
4 1.00 off wipes Q's - $4.00 x double = $8.00 off
4 .50 off wipes Q's - $2.00 x double = $4.00 off
-----------------------------------owe me: $.84 cents (FREE wipes!)
5 Huggies Body Wash for $3.79 ea = $18.95
5 1.50 off Q's - $7.50 x double = $15.00 off
1 Q (WYB wipes get $2 off Bath product) = $2.00 off
------------------------------------ pay: $1.95 (.39 cents ea)
4 Gerber 2nd food jars for $.69ea = $2.76
1 Q (WYB 2 Gerber 2nd foods get one free!) = 1 free jar
1 Q .75 cents off 4 Gerber 2nd foods - .75 cents x double = $1.50 off
---------------------------------------------pay: $1.26 (.25 cents ea)
8 Gerber 3rd food jars $.79ea = $6.32
1 Q $1.00 off 8 jars of Gerber 3rd foods = $1.00 x double = $2.00 off
1 Q .75 cents off 4 jars of Gerber 3rd foods = .75 x double = $1.50 off
1 Q .75 cents off 4 jars of Gerber 3rd foods = .75 x double = $1.50 off
--------------------------------------------pay: $1.32 (.31 cents ea)

Total before coupons: $39.19
Total after coupons: $3.72
Total savings: $35.47

Thats what I have so far ladies..if I calculated/did my coupons right I should only pay $3.72 not including tax (but I MAY be going to the DE Kmart, so theres NO tax there!!) for 12 jars of baby food, 5 huggies bath washes & 320 Huggies wipes!

I normally don't buy a lot of baby food but had the coupons so I figured I should use them. I also have more coupons coming in the mail, so I am definitely going to have fun with this. Does anyone know if there is a coupon limit? There are TWO or THREE Kmarts I can shop at that week.

Now for some questions..

1) Is it alright to use .75 cents off 4 baby jars twice with my purchase since I am buying 8 jars??

2) With my wipes purchase I have a coupon for $1.00 off and another for .50 cents off. Am I allowed to use them both since they aren't the same coupon but are from the same manufacturer??

2) I have Kmart specific coupons for $2 off Huggies Supreme diapers - I also have a manufacturer $2 off Huggies Supreme diapers. Am I allowed to use both these coupons together? If so, it would give me $4 off or $8 off on doubler days. If thats the case I figured I could get 240 diapers (8 packs of 30ct) for $23.92 or .10 cents a diaper?

Thanks for your help ladies!

PS - If you guys plan on doing Kmart's double days be sure to register on their website a few days before you go and they'll send you an in-store coupon for $5 off $50 (that is if you guys get that high with your purchases)!

None of your proposed purchases are valid. In each case you want to use more than one mfr coupon for one or more of the items, which is not allowed.

Your questions --

1) -- Are you asking if the same coupon can be scanned twice? NO
Are you asking if you can use two identical coupons (75�/4) on the purchase of eight jars? YES
BUT... your "shopping list" shows only 8 jars of stage 2 and a $1.00/8 so you could NOT use any additional mfr coupons with those jars.

2) NO -- one mfr coupon per package

3) Depends. If the coupon is an actual Kmart issued store coupon, then yes. If it is a mfr coupon that specifies Kmart, then no.
