Double Coupons

Sometimes stores offer to double coupons. Some stores even have it as their regular coupon policy. (Unfortunately, none in Utah do to my knowledge.) Recently, Albertsons started including a few double coupons in their Sunday ads. Here is what you need to know about double coupons...

* Double coupons will double the discount of a manufacturer coupon. Ie: $.50 off will be doubled to $1 off.
* Double coupons have specified limits. Usually, they will double up to $1 or $2. The Albertsons doublers are limited to $1. So, if you have a $.25 coupon, it would be doubled to $.50. A $1 coupon would be doubled to $2 off. But, a $1.10 coupon is above the limit and would not double. Some stores would adjust the $1.10 coupon to the max $2. But, Albertsons doesn't allow doubling on coupons over $1.
* Give the cashier the coupons that you would like doubled with the doublers before the rest of the coupons. That way you know you get the biggest discount. You'll want to double the highest value coupons you are using that day, that are within the limit.

Rumor has it that there will be doublers in the Albertsons flier on Sunday. :)
