It is amazing how much money I have saved since I started using coupons! But I have a question. Are you allowed to use more than one coupon on any given item? I feel that if you have more than one coupon for an item you should be able to use them. Otherwise, where is the great savings that so many people talk about? I have heard of people having their entire grocery bill paid by the use of coupons." A: Can you ever use more than one coupon on the same item? To answer this, you’ll need to first determine what kind of coupon you’re dealing with. Coupons fall into two major categories: manu- facturer coupons, which are issued by the manufacturer of a product; and store coupons, which are issued by the store itself. A manufacturer coupon will always have the wording at the top, "Manufacturer Coupon." As we dis- cussed in last week’s column, regardless of whether the coupon bears a store’s name or logo, it if contains the words "manufacturer coupon" it’s been issued by the manufacturer. A store coupon typically looks different from a manufacturer coupon. The bar code is usually a different size or format than the one that appears on a manufacturer coupon. It also typically contains the words "Store Coupon." Now that the difference is clear, here are the rules. Manufacturer coupons state "Limit One Per Pur- Police reports The following infor- mation is compiled from Red Bluff Police Depart- ment, Tehama County Sheriff’s Department, Corning Police Depart- ment and California Highway Patrol. Arrests • Shance Nehemiah Crow, 27, Tehama, was arrested Monday morn- ing at the Juvenile Jus- tice Center on suspicion of obstructing or resist- ing an executive officer, obstructing or resisting a peace officer, failing to comply with a court order and violating pro- bation. Bail was set at $32,000. • Frank Vastire Fritz, 18, Red Bluff, was arrest- ed Wednesday night at the corner of Main and Grant streets by the RBPD on suspicion of receiving known stolen property and obstructing or resisting a peace offi- cer. Bail was set at $13,000. • Robert Alan Jones, 55, Red Bluff, also known as Bob Jones, also known as Alan Jones, was arrested Wednesday night on Tehama Vina Road near the railroad tracks by the CHP on sus- picion of burglary. Bail was not set. Dog bite St. Elizabeth Commu- nity hospital reported Wednesday afternoon that its staff was treating chase." This legal wording can be confusing, but what you need to remember is this: each item we buy is considered a purchase. Each trip through the checkout lane is consid- ered a transaction. So, keeping in mind that each item is considered a purchase, the coupon limit state- ment becomes clear: "Limit one manufacturer coupon per item purchased." You can always, only and forever use just one manufacturer coupon per item purchased. The regis- ter will not accept more than one manufacturer coupon for the same item and the legal terms of the coupon itself prohibit it. If I have two $1 manufactur- er coupons for a bottle of juice I cannot use them both on the same bottle of juice. The coupons are limited to one coupon per item purchased. I would need to buy two bottles to use both $1 coupons. You may think that just because Jill Cataldo Coupon Queen the terms of the coupon and accept- ed more than one manufacturer coupon for the same item, the man- ufacturer can refuse reimbursement. Store coupons are completely different. These typically can be stacked with a manufac- turer coupon and used on the same item. Store coupons function as sale price reductions for the store. If I have a 75-cent store coupon for juice and a $1 manufacturer coupon for the same brand and size of juice, I can use these together. Coupon shoppers call this "stacking." If I stack the 75-cent store coupon for the juice with the $1 manufacturer coupon, I save $1.75 on a single bottle of juice, an excel- lent discount. You asked where the you have two manufacturer coupons for the same item that you should be able to use them together, but this is never the case. The regis- ter will not allow it and neither will the store. When a store redeems those coupons with the manufactur- er, the manufacturer can audit the store and ask for proof that it sold as many items as it submitted coupons for. If the store cannot pro- vide proof and if, in fact, it violated a dog-bitten 5-year-old from Manton.
