On this page I am going to explain the "fine print" that you will find on most coupons. This will help you understand what it all means and also cut out some confusion at check out!
One Coupon Per Purchase : This basically means that you may only use one coupon for one product. You can use 6 of the same coupon but you have to buy 6 items. Per Purchase does not mean Per Transaction. One coupon per purchase is the manufacturer's way of making sure you don't use 2 coupons or more on one item. This same principle applies when the coupon says a $1.00/2 you can only use 1 coupon for every 2 items.
One Coupon Per Transaction : This phrase is as it states. You can only use the one coupon in one transaction. You would have to divide up your order and buy your product, use the coupon , pay the cashier and start all over again. Luckily not very many manufacturer's have this wording on their coupons!
4 Like Coupons per Shopping Trip : This is a new addition to some but not all coupons. It can be found on all Proctor and Gamble coupons. It states "Limit 4 Like Coupons in Same shopping Trip" So even if you have 5 Coupons for and item you will have to buy the 4 items and come back later in the week to use the other coupon. The manufacturer puts this in place so that you can stock up on products but not clean out the shelves. (Personally, this one policy drives me nuts. I want to come to the store once and get my stuff. Not come back at a later time. Then my 2 leftover coupons go to waste :( )
