How would this store coupon work?

[JulieDB]

I have a coupon for Top Foods that gives me $5.00 off an order of $25.00. Now I mainly plan to buy produce items for which I am not likely to have any coupons. But that doesn't mean between now and then I won't get some coupons I might use. So...

Does the $25.00 mean of the actual total? Or the total after manufacturer coupons?

Thanks!

that depends, what does the coupon say. i dont have a tops, but i have a schnucks and that is before coupons. but some of the dollar general coupons say after manufacturer...

I moved this to the Tops forum, so hopefully someone can answer your question here.

Sorry for posting in the wrong place. And it's a good thing I checked the coupon! It is only valid in three cities, and apparently not the one I was going to shop at! So I will have to make different plans. It does say some exclusions apply to and see customer service for details. That's not much help.

Top Foods is not Tops Markets (not saying one is better or worse, just saying they aren't the same, AFAIK).
There have been $/50$ coupons in the past on the buffalo sunday paper, and from what i've heard, you can get to 50$, use the $/$ and then coupons. i've never done it, as i don't live in buffalo. i've seen 5$/25$ for the take out pizza/deli area, but i've never tried using it on regular items at that checkout. (seems shady to me lol)
