Stacking at SOF - how too??!!!!

Wondering what exactly are the rules for stacking coupons at SOF. Do you have to tell the cashier when you go through that you want to stack - or do you just give them to her? Not sure why - but I am a little nervous about tying to stack.
I have some tear pad coupons - that are different values for the same products and not manufacturer coupons that I would like to stack. Just want to make sure I do it right!

I was nervous too. If you are going to do a major haul, it wouldn't hurt to stop by CS and give them a heads up. I've never done more than 40 coupons.

You can stack any coupon, as long as they are different coupons and they can't say the following-cannot be combined with any other offer and use of more than one coupon is prohibited (most p&g).

If you follow those rules, there aren't tons of stackable coupons out there. Some people don't follow those rules, but that's what is in their policy.

Every cashier is different. Some want the coupons first, some want them to match each product as it scans and some want them at the end. You will quickly learn which cashiers are coupon friendly. I'm going to hop over and try to find the policy for you.

Wonderful .. thank you!

So we can't use more than one tear pad even if the UPC codes are different?

I've always gone by as long as the UPCs are different and there is no restrictive wording. That part about being from different sources, to me, is vague because two different tearpads are two different sources. I was confused by this too at first, but that's what my store told me.

Multiple manufacturers’ coupons can be redeemed per item (stacking), only if each coupon comes from a different media source (e.g. manufacturer, newspaper, website, etc) and has a different code (or UPC)

• Splitting coupons across multiple products is not allowed = why they don't accept $3 of coupon(s) against a $2.99 product. Ie no overage.

I've not had an issue with several tearpads or several inserts as long as they LOOK different. I had two insert UPCs that looked the same, just different dates & UPC, and that was a problem.
