What does stacking mean?

[mommytojm]

I see a lot of ppl talking about stacking - is that being able to use more than one coupon per item somehow?

How come not all stores allow it? I see on here you all 'stack' at london drugs. I've only been there once - it's an hour and a half away from me.

the only place I can find coupons are either in store, or something on the internet I can get sent to me by mail/email. I live in a tiny, tiny little town in the middle of nowhere, but I love to save every penny I can!

any help appreciated!!

In Canada that only place that allows stacking is London Drugs. It is being able to use more than one coupon on one item, all the coupons used have to have different codes from each other though. For example, I have 6 Pampers wipes coupons right now that all have different codes and each coupon is worth $1.00 so I can stack them together and get $6.00 off one of the 3 pk refills of wipes which will bring my cost down to about $4.00 for a month's worth of wipes. If you decide to try this, you would probably want to really plan out beforehand, maybe try trading for the coupons you need to make it worth your trip. My LD is about an hour away from me so I only go when I have at least $100 of coupons to use, otherwise (to me anyway ) it is not worth my time.

I live in a tiny town too, the closest LD is about 2 hours or more away from me so i have never been, I write to companys aswell to get coupons (my snail mail) and I do really good, plus keeping up with the info on here really helps. Kaibren discribed stacking very well. Good luck with your coupons

I just started using coupons within the past month or so and didn't really have any to start with.

I traded with some wonderful SC'ers and got hundreds of dollars of coupons for Canada Post permanent stamps and a $5 GC. That gave me an inventory of coupons to start trading with.

I joined a few Newbie trains and did some more private trades with people by looking at their wishlists/tradelists.

Now I have a tonne of coupons that I use and that others use that I can trade with. Whenever I go out I'm always on the lookout for coupons at stores so if you're ever visiting another town pop into a few stores and go shopping."



Best wishes and happy couponing!
