Lessons Learned - Couponing strategies to help save even more $$.
  1. Stacking - this term refers to using both manufacturer and store coupons at the same time. Check your store's policy to make sure they allow stacking. Many stores do allow stacking. If the cashier is inexperienced, they may reject one of the coupons; however, insist that one is a manufacturer coupon and one is a store coupon. When in doubt, ask for a manager. Note: Some coupons print out with the Target bullseye, but are actually manufacturer coupons. Be sure to read the label at the top, next to the date that states whether it's an actual Target coupon or Manufacturer coupon.
  2. Cashier Profiling - profiling cashiers can save time and aggravation during the checkout process (usually, but not always). See this article for more insight about how and why cashier profiling can make the checkout process go more smoothly:  http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-bloggers/2650601/posts.
