Reader Question: Stacking Super Fresh E-Coupons & Paper Coupons

Penny Possibilities reader jahi999 asked:

Do you know if I can use a Superfresh clipless coupon from my card and stack it with a manufacturer coupon? I was wondering because they have Hellmans mayo for 2 for $6. They have a $1 off of 2 clipless coupon that I added to my card and I also have a $1 off 2 manufacturer coupon.

This is an excellent question. For other readers who may not know, you can now load clipless coupons directly from the Super Fresh site on to your Super Fresh Club card. For the most part, these e-coupons are not store coupons. They are paperless manufacturer coupons.

According to the FAQ section of the Super Fresh coupon website in response to the question about using both paper and clipless coupons on one item, "Most manufacturers limit savings to one coupon per item purchased." So basically they are saying no- you can't use both types of coupons on the same item. If you read the fine print on your paper coupon, most state that there is a limit of one coupon per purchase.

Happy Couponing just recently published a post about e-coupon etiquette and why it is bad to double dip by using both an e-coupon and a paper coupon.

There are some exceptions to the one-coupon-per-item rule. Some stores allow you to use a store coupon and a manufacturer coupon on the same item. According to Target's coupon policy, you can use both coupons on the same item at Target. Upromise e-coupons are another exception to the rule. You can use a manufacturer coupon in the store and still get the Upromise e-coupon savings transferred to your Upromise account. Super Fresh is a participant in the Upromise program.
