Doubling on coupons means you can get twice the value of any coupon value. There are three methods for doubling a coupon’s value. The first is piggybacking or using two coupons on one product. The problem with piggybacking is you need to read the coupon terms carefully to know if there is a restriction stipulating one per customer. A second way to double the coupon is during a special sale, at certain times during the week or month or for limited times. During these times a store or a manufacturer will double the value of your coupon. The third way to get double coupon value is when the coupon discount applies to two items, allowing you to use your coupon trice.

Although double coupon values are mostly offered to boost sales when numbers of customers are down, like on Mondays or mid month, there are some grocery stores and big box stores that double coupon values regularly. You may want to call ahead to make sure their policy is still in effect as stores change their polices to fit the economy, but you can Google “grocery store contacts” to find out about particular store policies. About. com also lists participating grocery stores on their website. For example, in California Stumps Market is on the list, in Massachusetts is Pricehopper, and in Kansas Thriftways are participants.

Double coupons are a great savings in themselves, but you can make that savings go even further. Pair a double value coupon with a 2 for 1 sale or with other sales on items to which the coupons applies. Use them with your grocery store discount card, too. Shop at stores that have coupon exchanges, where people bring in up-to-date coupons they can’t use so you can swap your unwanted coupons for those you can use to save on items on your list.
