Two Scenario's for "Stacking" Coupons

There following are just some quick examples of how to expand your ability to use a coupon.
Some stores create coupons which are to be used ONLY at their stores. Food Lion, Walgreens, Target and now even CVS are doing this. This is awesome for couponers for one reason – you can “stack” coupons!!! Stacking coupons is the using of two coupons on one item, or that you can use one store coupon and one manufacturer’s coupon together.
Assume that you have a Target coupon on Goldfish for 75cents off, and you have a manufacturer’s coupon for 50cents off – you can use both coupons for one package of Goldfish.
Assuming the Goldfish cost $1.54 it calculates as follows:
1.54-.75= .79-.50 = 29 cents for one package of Goldfish !!! Great deal huh!!
A few months ago I was able to get several boxes of 100calorie packs from Nabisco for 4cents a box using the stacking method at Target.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
There is another way you can “stack” coupons, it involves the Buy 1 Get 1 Free coupons (B1G1).
Assuming you have a B1G1 free coupon for an item, and you have another coupon for $/1 off that same item you can use both of these coupons.
The B1G1 is for the free item and the $/1 off coupon is for the one you have to buy to get the free one.
For example recently there were B1G1 coupons for Oust in the Sunday paper, and there was a $2 off coupon found at Coupons.com both are for Oust Sanitizing Air Spray.
Buy 2 of these, use both coupons and get a really great buy.
Assuming the Oust Spray cost #2.99 it calculates as follows:
2 cans @ 2.99 = 5.98
5.98-2.99= 2.99-2.00= 99cents for 2 Oust Sanitizing Spray !! another great deal
This deal also works the same if you have a Buy one item get one of another item free, you can use that coupon as well as a coupon for the item you need to buy for a really great deal.
