What a great idea for a thread!! I can't wait to come back and see how it unfolds!
are we posting pictures?? Or just typing the various coupons/UPC's and whatnot?
Ok, a few tips for this thread
1. Add a Price Smart column to the Product Pricing chart
2. Add a image link column to to the Stackable Combos chart
2. Mods should remove worthless posts that clog up the thread. The posts I'm referring to are the "thank you great idea!" kind of posts that add nothing to the discussion. If someone wants to thank someone they should either 'like' the specific post or give the person reputation.
3. Switch to Google Docs to do the spreadsheets instead of trying to do it on the forum.
I use them at SDM for trail size J&J facial wipes. They are $2.99 and a great coupon to use on 20x days. :)Quote:

I've thought about this too...here's what I've decided:Quote:

I went to our SOF to confirm the "rules" and limitations. They said "if it looks like a coupon...take it....stack it...love it" BUT they were going to be watching for volume purchases. They don't mind volume purchases but they want people who clear shelves to order the items preferably. I have ordered way back when we used to stack (seems like forever ago) and I have to admit it was way less stressful. So if I really want something...I'm going to take a few seconds of my time and phone the store! Not only do I assure myself of getting the deal but the store appreciates me telling them (they don't mind doing this for "smaller" purchases either).
Finally, stacking isn't really all that easy....and most of my stacking ideas are not for right away and I think most people who clear out the shelves are opportunists...the coupon is available NOW and the deal is NOW (which you see with non-stacking also). Most, if not all of mine, are for "sometime this year" or an idea to gather them up in case another coupon comes out (it may never happen...but good to look for).
I think I'll gain more then I lose with these philosophies.

For starters, Jezz and I will update posts 2-4 with:
*Coupon Stack Combinations POST 2
*Product Prices - regular & sales POST 3
*Members with FULL stacks to trade & Members who are looking for FULL stacks POST 4 {edit THIS POST IS A WORK IN PROGRESS, INTENT MAY CHANGE}
As information is added to the lists in posts 2-4 over the next few days, the needs of the thread will become more apparent.
o.k..........please don't shoot me.
i live in quebec. can't stack, can barely use english coupons and most of the time cashiers try to shoot down my french coupons.
i'm going to edmonton in aug and looking to teach my sil how to coupon. I was super excited cuz i can stack
BUT....don't know how to do it.
right now i have 3 tresemme coupons with diff upc's. say it's X$ and 3x1.50(-4.50), pay difference = everyone happy?
probably not the right forum to ask this but im afraid im going to do the wrong thing and i dont want to give couponers bad rep and i was sooooo excited when i saw this so i could get ready for the trip.
oh and do they accept french coupons at sof and ld?
great thread. I can add reg price hidden valley ranch SOF 4.59. Glad bags sale pricesmart 5.48. Is post 5 going to have info on store specific policy? ie today pricesmart coquitlam pinetree location would not adjust glad coupon from 2 to 1.48, yet I read someone's brag and that their store adjusted...
Are the owfg email coupons going to be posted in #5?
YES,YES and YES!Quote:

I priced tres semme today at $5.99 reg price/$4.99 sale this week. There are 3x $1.50 upcs AND an older $1 one!
Hope that helps and there are no dumb questions.....ever.

ps coups is working hard at making some of the changes everyone mentioned but there is a lot at first so it might go slow for a bit.
THx for tips!Quote:

3. Yes, I agreed threads can get watered down with posts that do not increase the informational intent. However, spirit, gratitude and cheer promote positivism within the community, and more members will be inclined to contribute stacking information. Hopefully a balance can be attained that suits us all.
4. I don't know Google docs. I could use your help here SmartConsumer. I work primarily with msWORD but made the tables using the forum tools because I thought it would provide easiest access for Jezz to update the thread as well.
