Of course! That's what we're here for.
• Double Your Pleasure. Many stores these days are offering to double the face value of a coupon, usually up to 50 cents. So, if you have a coupon for 50 cents off a particular item, the store will double its value so it turns out to give you a dollar off instead!
• Shop the Specials. As you browse your newspaper ads (or the ads you can pick up at almost any store), look for other discounts on items you need. If you find something that is on sale and you find a coupon for that same item, you're saving even more money. Occasionally, larger chain stores will place their best offers right on the same page with coupons you can use with those offers, complete with a table that shows you the regular price, the sale price, and they price you'll pay if you use the available coupons. It's an even better deal if you can find these deals at a store which will double your coupons.
• Ask the Competition. Often, if you find a coupon which is offered only by one store in particular, you can ask a competitor if they will accept the same coupon. They will often agree in order to keep your business. For example, it is a little known fact the Lowe's and The Home Depot accept each others' coupons. So, if you have a coupon for 10% off a ladder at The Home Depot and the ladder is less expensive at Lowe's, you can usually purchase it there and use your coupon for The Home Depot for the same discount.
