Lots of B coupons=lots of confusion

Long story short: Can you combine a code B coupon for "x" amount off 2 and use 2 manufacturing coupons (one for each)?
I found an awesome deal at HEB on Venus Razors! It was $4.00 off any 2 (Gillette) Venus Razors or Cartrages. I planned to use two I planned to go back today after work. I went to a different HEB, and I saw a deal for $1.00 off 2 Colgate. I found a new version-something about a family version. It was $1.96 each. I had two $1.00 manufacturing coupons. One Proctor and Gamble coupon came in the mail in March that was $1.00 off, and the other was also $1.00 off and came in a coupon booklet last week. So I figured one would be free and one would be 96 cents plus a few cents after tax. To look at it another way, each toothpaste would be 46 cents if the money is divided between the two. I couldn't find the Venus coupon, so I decided to purchase the toothpaste at that HEB and purchase the razors at the other HEB. I was told I couldn't combine the three coupons (Code B and 2 manufacturing coupons), so I just went to the other HEB, thinking that maybe she was wrong. I found several deals there, and many of them were for Proctor and Gamble products. For these deals you also had to buy 2 products. I asked the lady at the register and she just tried it and it worked. Still I want to make sure that was okay. Anyone know if you can combine a code B with 2 manufacturing coupons if the code B coupon requires two purchases?

Sorry if I'm being ignorant or just sleeping yet, but what's a Code B coupon?

If I had to guess, I'd say no. Not unless a Code B coupon is actually a store coupon. IME, that's the only way you can stack/combine q's.

Yes B coupon is a store coupon, I don't see why they wouldn't let you add as many manufacturer coupons as you like. I have not tried that one but seems like it would work.

BTW most HEB checkers don't even know what a B or S coupon means and usually the coupon that beeps is their own coupon lol.

B coupons and S coupons are store coupons that you can combine with other coupons. M coupons are manufacturing coupons issued by the store. It's kind of like a catalina coupon (a coupon that is printed at the register) that prints at Walgreens. I think Walgreens lets you combine a store coupon with as many manufacturing coupons as the purchase requires. For example, if the store coupon requires a purchase of 2, you can use two manufacturing coupons and a store coupon. (I think). If it requires one purchase but the limit of the deal is up to three, then you can do the deal up to three times and use up to three manufacturing coupons. Is that right? I just wanted to make sure HEB has the same policy. I know you can only use one store and one manufacturing coupon (as long as the store coupon is a code S or B and NOT a code M, but I didn't know if there was an exception if the store coupon required a purchase of 2. So I wanted to know if I could use 2 manufactuing coupons instead of one. Hope that makes sense. Don't have time to explain any further.

I don't consider HEB coupons to be like Walgreens RRs, you don't have to have an additional item to use the HEB coupon, but you do with an RR.

You can use other manu coupons if the HEB coupons are S or B, I have not heard of any limits.

And you can use a manu coupon on a M HEB coupon as long as it is the type that is Buy X get Y free, and you use the manu coupon on the X item.

Give it a shot and good luck!

Why do you think these exceptions to the rule are not posted on the website? Those rules seem like exceptions. You'd think it would be online somewhere.

Okay. I am going to post my deals. I feel better about it now. Today is the last day for these deals. There are deals on Secret, crest, cascade, iams cat food 3.5-4 lbs, luvs diapers?, Venus razors, febreeze, and more.

When I read your post, I re-read HEB's coupon policy at Coupon Policy - H-E-B. Yes it does say that you cannot use a manufacturer coupon with an M coupon, yet I do it every week as long as it is a "buy X get Y free" yellow coupon and I only use a coupon on the X (bought item).
Maybe they consider the coupon to just apply to the free item?
