TrixieB Posted July 22, 2009 Share Posted July 22, 2009 (edited) Stores in my area don't do double/triple coupons. That made me wonder, what stores or areas of the country give double/triple credit on coupons? Is it only specific store chains, regardless of where they're located? Or only in certain areas of the U.S.? Edited July 22, 2009 by TrixieB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carrie12345 Posted July 22, 2009 Share Posted July 22, 2009 All of the groceries in my area (PA and NJ) double. Triples are rare. I doubt I'd bother with coupons at face value. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Veritaserum Posted July 22, 2009 Share Posted July 22, 2009 Ours don't double or triple, which means our coupon base values are generally higher (e.g. $.50 off instead of $.25). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrixieB Posted July 22, 2009 Author Share Posted July 22, 2009 Ours don't double or triple, which means our coupon base values are generally higher (e.g. $.50 off instead of $.25). So you mean that the newspaper coupons vary around the U.S., so double-coupon areas get 25c coupons while non-double-coupon areas get 50c coupons for the same item?

Snickerdoodle Posted July 22, 2009 Share Posted July 22, 2009 No double coupons and no internet coupons. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
creekland Posted July 22, 2009 Share Posted July 22, 2009 Every grocery store around us doubles them as long as they are under $1(maybe not Aldi, I don't shop there so I don't know). Probably one week a month they will also double up to five $1 coupons if you cut their coupon (allowing it) from their flyer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KidsHappen Posted July 22, 2009 Share Posted July 22, 2009 I mostly shop at Publix because they are right behind my house (I can walk there and home with groceries, the kids and the dog). They always have buy-one-get-one-free and $.01 items (I have no cent sign on my keyboard :confused:) Much better than coupons. :) I stock up on whatever items are on sale.

SquirrellyMama Posted July 22, 2009 Share Posted July 22, 2009 The stores don't double or triple in our area either. We don't bother with them for that reason. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
momtotkbb Posted July 22, 2009 Share Posted July 22, 2009 Two of ours doubles all the time ---they have triple coupons about once every two months. Another store doubles the last week of the month and one doubles the last few days of a month. The others don't - just face value. Some stores match ads too.

Quiver0f10 Posted July 22, 2009 Share Posted July 22, 2009 (edited) Nope. My only options for food are WM, Target ( limited selection and pricey imho) Harps and Price Cutters, which are insanly expensive, and an old IGA. We do have a Walgreens, but no CVS, which I heard has a lot of neat deals. OOPS edited! I just realized Harps does double coupons up to 50 cents. However, I could buy the same item at Wal-Mart cheaper withOUT a coupon then I could at Harps with a double coupon.

Moni Posted July 22, 2009 Share Posted July 22, 2009 Our local stores used to Double Expired coupons. :lol: Talk about the Good Ole Days...As recently as 13 years ago. You could get a lot of free expired coupons from folks in different geographical areas ($1 off instead of 35 cents off, for example) and then double them, all of them. Not anymore...... :seeya: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AngieW in Texas Posted July 22, 2009 Share Posted July 22, 2009 Not here. Krogers did double and even triple coupons, but there aren't any Krogers where I live now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shalom22 Posted July 23, 2009 Share Posted July 23, 2009 Not here. Krogers did double and even triple coupons, but there aren't any Krogers where I live now. I have several Krogers close by. They will double up to $.50 and triple up to $.39. I get my best saving shopping at Krogers and playing the Grocery Game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chiguirre Posted July 23, 2009 Share Posted July 23, 2009 However, I could buy the same item at Wal-Mart cheaper withOUT a coupon then I could at Harps with a double coupon. This has been my experience too. I only buy meat and loss leaders at Randalls (Safeway) and Kroger. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prairie~Phlox Posted July 23, 2009 Share Posted July 23, 2009 Yes, we have Kroger, Meijer & Marsh & they all double up to .50 Also, coupons vary some what regionally, but there's not "THAT" much of a difference. Usually the biggest difference is in the amount of coupons per paper. The larger circulated paper, the better the coupons. Smaller circulated coupons, not so good. You can also preview what coupons will be coming out by going to http://www.taylortownpreview.com there are other websites that do this also.

jenL Posted July 23, 2009 Share Posted July 23, 2009 All the stores around me except for Food Lion & Walmart double. Most are up to $.99, one is only up to $.60. They all do BOGO often, so with coupons, that can equal free. One store triples once a month (Harris Teeter); however, they've recently instituted Super Doubles where they'll double up to $1.98. That's happening right now, and it lasts a week. I don't know what I'd do without my coupons... they save me incredible amounts of money.

Orthodox6 Posted July 23, 2009 Share Posted July 23, 2009 Some of the chains in N. TX. do this. With the exception of Kroger, they are chains who charge such high prices that the coupons only would bring the item cost down to what it should be.

CookieMonster Posted July 23, 2009 Share Posted July 23, 2009 There are no double or triple coupon deals here. In fact, I haven't seen a store with that offer in years. I am always surprised when someone mentions it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cindy in NY Posted July 23, 2009 Share Posted July 23, 2009 All of the big chain grocery stores on the east end of Long Island double coupons up to $.99. One even doubles $1 coupons. Of course, they are the highest priced store, but I am able to get free items there quite often by matching a coupon with a sale and I can always get paper towels free even without a sale.
