How can I stock up if the coupon says one per purchase? This is a common concern and question from new couponers. There are several aspects to this topic.

Definition of one per purchase on a coupon:  1 coupon per item purchased. This doesn’t mean 1 coupon per transaction (unless the coupon says per transaction). Example: if you have 12 coupons for 1 can of soup you can buy 12 cans of soup and use 12 coupons.

Store coupons + Manufacture coupons on the same Item:

You can use multiple coupons on the same item, but it depends on your store policy. Most stores will allow one store coupon and one manufacturer coupon (it will say at the top of the coupon) per item purchased.

Store Limits:

It is important to understand your stores corporate policy and local policy. Some stores allow unlimited of the same coupons per purchase (as long as you are using 1 per item). However, some stores limit coupons as low as 2 like coupons per transaction or per day.

P&G Coupons:

A few months ago P&G changed the wording on their coupons. It states you can only use 4 like coupons per transaction regardless if the store allows unlimited like coupons.

Multiple Manufacturer Coupons:

You cannot use more than one manufacture coupon on the same item. If the coupon says $1 off 1 can of soup you can only use 1 coupon per each can you purchase. However, you can add a store coupon if store policy permits.

I think these are the main confusing concerns of using multiple like coupons. If you have further questions or concerns please leave a comment below!
