Coupon values don't match?

[wizbiff]

I live in VA, just outside DC and get my coupons from the Washington Post. Oh, and I'm very new to this
I'm seeing that a lot of my coupons don't match the values in the database. For example, my Gain detergent coupon is for $1 off two while the database shows it to be 50 cents off one. (5/13 PG) This really changes it when matched with the triple coupons this week at Harris Teeter (up to 99cents.)

Why are the values off? What can I do to find the right info? Is CouponMom just not the right site for me to be using in the DC area?

Thank you!!

Hi Wizbiff,
This is more of an art than a science. Coupons are very regional. Couponmom does a Great job but cannot be certain about every area. A lot depends on the printers and distributers I would imagine. I live in an area where I may get up to three different versions of an insert. It is too bad that you got $1/2 instead of $0.50/1 and many times I have felt that pain but the flip side to that coin is when it happens the other way and that feels great! Coupon Mom is a great resource but like anything else you have to verify the q's you receive. Finding a local blogger in your area would be a good addition to your resources as well. Stick with it, your asking the right questions and I think you do well.
