How-to-use coupons

Buying multiples of one item...
when the coupon reads,

"One coupon per purchase": This means that shoppers can use one coupon per item, with the item considered to be the purchase. For example, if a shopper had 10 identical jars of BBQ sauce and 10 grocery coupons for thatBBQ sauce, she could use all 10 coupons for her order, which is literally 10 purchases of BBQ sauce.

"One coupon per order": This means that the shopper can only use the specific coupon one time per order. If a shopper had more than one coupon for something, they could use one coupon per store visit, which would be one coupon per order.


"One coupon per household": This is the most restrictive coupon term. Some coupons are so generous that stores will limit their liability by making sure the shopper doesn't make multiple trips to the store to use several coupons.

The most common coupon restriction is "one coupon per purchase," and when store personnel interpret this term as "one coupon per order" it can create frustration for coupon users. Therefore, familiarize yourself with these three restrictions so that you can calmly and politely explain what they each mean. Then you will easily be able to use multiple coupons when buying multiple identical items to save the most on your coupon purchases.
