Welcome to my coupon blog. I am addicted to using coupons as a money saving source for my family. My friends kept asking me to help them learn how to use coupons, so this blog came to life...I hope it can help you save money too!

Will this coupon double?

Most coupons will double, even the coupons that say "do not double".  Yes, really.  Most stores that double coupons have programmed thier registers to automatically double coupons up to a certain value.  At my local Kroger, they double coupons up to .60 each.  That means a .60 coupon is actually worth $1.20 when it doubles.  This is why a .60 coupon can be more valuable than a .75 or $1 coupon at times. 

If a coupon says "do not double", look at the barcode on the coupon.  Does one of them start with a five?  It will be a small five that is in the corner of the bar code.  If it starts with a five, most times the register will double the coupon anyway. 

There are certain stores that will run promotions to double coupons (when normally they would not double coupons on a daily basis) and I know that a certain chain grocery store that is more prominent on the east coast will run a promotion to triple coupons.  So, always keep your eyes open for special promotions at your local stores!
