    Default Is there a limit to how many of the same coupons you can use in one transaction?

    Next week there is a sale 10 mix and match items for 7.70. Softsoap handsoap is included in that. If I have 10 soft soap coupons then i can get all 10 for 70 cents. I just dont know if they will only accept a certain amount of that coupon. anyone know?

    the only problem with that is that you need to buy 10 items to get them at that price or else they are $1 each instead of $.77each

    in nj i think its four of the same coupons better than 3) just wondering is it that you must buy ten?? sometimes it would say 10 for ten dollars...but individually they ring up 1.00..just wondering maybe its worded that way but not a necessity that you buy 10 depending on how it rings up

    My Pathmark doubles up to & including $.99. I'm planning on getting the following:
    4 Softsoap Hand Soap - (4) $.35Qs
    2 Kraft BBQ Sauce - (1) $1/2Q
    2 Bounty Basic PT - (1) $1/2Q

    And hopefully the Sunday paper has 2 more Qs of one of the other items included in this promo. If not, I'll just buy 2 Brawny Garbage Bags.

    Default Limit of 2 offers

    I went to Pathmark (NJ) this morning. First, I saw signs that there was a two offer limit on the $.77 deals - so you can get 20 total items at $.77 but you must get at least 10 or they will charge you $1 each. Second, I asked about having several coupons for the same item - I wanted to be sure they would all double if I bought 7 soft soaps (I had 7 $.35 MQ). The woman at the customer service desk told me that not only would they not double after 4 of the same coupon but that they would not except more than 4 of the same coupon. Recently I found out that Shoprite will not double more then 4 of the same coupon, but at least they accepted them (bought 7 Lysol - two different varieties since they had a limit of 4) at $1.88 with a $.75. The first 4 doubles (so 1.88 - 1.50 = .33 each) but after that, they only took off .75!

    And, I saw that someone mentioned they planned to include the Bounty Basic paper towels in their 10/$.77 each deal. I didn't see them included in my circular but I saw a sign down the aisle saying something about .77 cents and 10 items but I didn't read it closely. When I checked out, they rang up at $1.19. I asked customer service about it (since I was at the self checkout right next to customer service). They said it wasn't part of the deal but since we went down the aisle and I showed her the sign, she gave them to me for .77 and counted them towards my required 10 items. And she took the sign down - said that it was from last weeks sale. The woman (same one who answered my coupon limit question at the start of my shopping trip) was awesome and very nice! She took the paper towel off my bill and charged them as if they were more Kraft BBQ. And she accepted my Bounty coupons!

    It was a good sale! Between the soft soap (bought 4, regularly 3.19, on sale for .77 with a doubled .35 MQ) and the Kraft BBQ (.77 with a $1 off two) and yogurt (Fiber One and YoPlait Plus - both 2/$5 with $1 coupons for each which I picked up at Stop and Shop a couple of weeks ago when they had a large number of Yoplait coupons near the stack of circulars), I ended up OOP around $21. And this trip even included hot dog buns, bagels and several other items that were on sale but I had no coupons for. My receipt said I saved over $29 in sales and coupons. PLus I got a $2 off my next visit Catalina from Kraft! I don't know how many you actually had to purchase to get it - I purchased 2 but she rang me up for 6 to make up for my paper towels.

    I went to a Pathmark in North Bergen NJ and was able to get 6 of the soft soaps w/Q's and 4 Frusions (no Q's ). I asked if I would be able to use all 6 Q's and the cashier said, I don't see why not and they all went through.
