I had two $10 coupons from Peebles. One was my $10 birthday gift that they send out to card holders. The other was a $10 off any $10 purchase that came in a home mailer, also only sent out to cardholders. So wheeeeee….I was thinking I had $20 to spend. And I did, sort of.

When I tried to pay, I could only use one $10 thing per transaction, the register wouldn’t let her enter the second one. Boo. I hope that this was just because of the nature of these coupons. I’m hoping that in the future, if I have a “20% off entire purchase” coupon, that I can still stack it with sales and the $5 printable coupons that sometimes are out.

Only time will tell……won’t stop me from trying!

First, it’s June 3, a new month has begun. Remember that most of the printable sites like smartsource and coupons.com reset their printables at the beginning of each month.

Some coupons often say ‘Do Not Double’ on them. Look at the code at the bottom. If that code begins with a 9, that coupon will not double when scanned. If it begins with a 5, if it says “Do Not Double” on it, chances are that a cashier will still have to hit a special key on the register to prevent it from doubling. In other words, if you have a cashier who either doesn’t care or isn’t paying attention, and just scans it, it will double.

On the various sites, these coupons are referred to as either a “DND 5” or “DND 9” meaning that it says ‘Do Not Double’ and then references what it begins with. Some stores will still double these, or if you go through self checkout, it will double.
