TIPS for a successful Super Doubles Trip!

Here are my top tips for a successful Super Doubles trip:

1. You can only have 20 coupons doubled SO only bring the 20 coupons you want to use with you + 5 more.  Why?  That way if HT is out of something, you can swap that coupon for another item.  The later in the day and later in the week you go- the more "substitutes" you will need to bring with you.

2. If they are out of something you wanted (and they most likely will be out of at least 1 thing) GET A RAIN CHECK.  They do not expire AND you can use them the next super doubles (the coupon does expire though but SO many of these coupons are repeated, repeated, repeated).

3. Only 3 like coupons are allowed (2 if they are IPs)- so my suggestion is to only use 1 or2 coupons at a time for the "freebies" if you plan on going multiple times this week.  Why? This way you are sure to get at least 1 of each freebie, and if they run out later you can get a raincheck! 

4. Make a list, stick to it and don't stand in the middle of the aisle trying to calculate coupons and doubling and overage and e-coupons- do it @ home in front of the TV on your lap top (as I am as I type this).  I will print out my spreadsheet and bring it with me- marking out items as I go! 

Good luck!  And PLEASE leave me some of the Activia Vanilla Bean Desert Yogurts- they are my favorite!  Thanks!
