Double Coupons
Most grocery stores around here will double manufacturer coupons up to fifty cents, with some allowing store coupons to be stacked on top of manufacturer coupons. Not bad, but not really great either.
Over the summer, I discovered that some of the Kroger stores in Michigan will double manufacturer coupons up to $1 - so my $1 off instantly becomes $2 off! :) The nearest stores that offer that are about an hour drive (each way), so I would only shop there if I had a reason to head out that way… but when I do, I’ll sort through my coupons and stock up!
Unfortunately, they went back to just doubling up to fifty cents a few weeks ago… just as my non-perishable stockpiled supplies were starting to run low. I figured that, especially with so many Michigan families unemployed right now, too many people were hitting up the handful of stores that offer the $1 double, and they were losing money.
BUT - this week the circular shows that the $1 double is back! I don’t know how long it’ll be around, but I’m definitely planning to go shopping and get all the freebies that I possibly can!
