The General Guidelines apply to the categories below and are to be referenced in addition to the specific coupon category guidelines.

The biggest setback for us couponers, is the fact that we 

can no longer get free items if the coupon exceeds the 

item, even by a penny. 

Usually sale items end in .99 and many coupons end in 

zero, so a total bummer. 

Also, if there is a buy one get one free sale, only one 

coupon can be used on the item that you're buying.
