Double Coupon days

[bluii76]

Hi I'm new here. I've been doing a little couponing since I stumbled across www.thecoupongoddess.com . I then started to search for coupons to use in Canada. So I found this site that helped me match up sales with coupons.

I thought I was doing pretty awesome yesterday when I used some coupons and some great BOGO sales at sobey's, saving around $55. I was talking with the lady bagging my groceries and she was saying how we can't go to the extremes they do in the states with coupons. I lamented how they don't do double coupon days so ya its not as good as in the states. Then she says yes we do! Huh? WOW! I didn't know. They advertise it regularily for the 10% tuesday sale for the first tuesday of the month but not for double coupon day which happens to be the last tuesday of the month which I missed by ONE day!! sigh.

OK so we've established that my sobey's (Here in Lloydminster AB) does double coupon day. Do you know of any other shops that do double coupon days? WalMart? Zellers? RCSS? Co-op? SDM? That's pretty much all we have here. No london drugs for us, sniff, sniff.

Thanks in advance!

*edit to add* wow I guess our store is special.
I wanted to clarify the double coupon policy at our Sobey's. They of course can only take valid coupons and you are limited to a 2 dollar discount. Ex:if you have a coupon for 75 cents it will be doubled to 1.50 but if you have a coupon for 1.50 they will only give you a discount of 2.00 (still better than nothing). She might have said there was a limit on how many coupons per transaction but I'm not sure. I was too overcome by missing double coupon day by ONE day!!

This is the response I got from emailing Sobeys:

Maybe if enough people contact regarding the issues they might wake up and offer it at every store

What do they mean by the part below?
Wouldn't that be any printed coupon?
I've used printed coupons at my Sobey's several times now without any problem...

So do I understand the "if the couopon exceeds the value of the product, the full value of the coupon will be applied but we do not provide refunds (monetary amount)." to mean that if a product costs $1.50 and we have a $2 coupon the $2 will be applied but I won't receive change for it? The 50 cents would be used towards my order though if I am purchasing more than that one item?
