The shopper had a manufacturer coupon for $1.00 off and a Dollar General Print Store Coupon for $0.50 off.

She purchased two bags of the dog food. The final amount paid for both the Cottenelle Bath Tissue and two bags of Purina Dog Chow was only &amp;lt;strong&amp;gt;$2.45&amp;lt;/strong&amp;gt; total.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;table align=&amp;quot;center&amp;quot; border=&amp;quot;2&amp;quot; cellpadding=&amp;quot;1&amp;quot; cellspacing=&amp;quot;1&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&amp;lt;thead&amp;gt;&amp;lt;tr&amp;gt;&amp;lt;th&amp;gt;Quantity/Item&amp;lt;/th&amp;gt;&amp;lt;th&amp;gt;Total After Coupons&amp;lt;/th&amp;gt;&amp;lt;th&amp;gt;\u00A0&amp;lt;/th&amp;gt;&amp;lt;th&amp;gt;\u00A0Overage&amp;lt;/th&amp;gt;&amp;lt;th&amp;gt;Total Paid&amp;lt;/th&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/tr&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/thead&amp;gt;&amp;lt;tbody&amp;gt;&amp;lt;tr&amp;gt;&amp;lt;td&amp;gt;1 Cottenelle Bath Tissue&amp;lt;/td&amp;gt;&amp;lt;td&amp;gt;\u00A0$3.45&amp;lt;/td&amp;gt;&amp;lt;td&amp;gt;\u00A0&amp;lt;/td&amp;gt;&amp;lt;td&amp;gt;\u00A0&amp;lt;/td&amp;gt;&amp;lt;td&amp;gt;\u00A0$3.45&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;\u00A0&amp;lt;/td&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/tr&amp;gt;&amp;lt;tr&amp;gt;&amp;lt;td&amp;gt;2 Purina Dog Chow&amp;lt;/td&amp;gt;&amp;lt;td&amp;gt;\u00A0$0.00&amp;lt;/td&amp;gt;&amp;lt;td&amp;gt;\u00A0&amp;lt;/td&amp;gt;&amp;lt;td&amp;gt;\u00A0$1.00&amp;lt;/td&amp;gt;&amp;lt;td&amp;gt;&amp;lt;strong&amp;gt;\u00A0$2.45&amp;lt;/strong&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/td&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/tr&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/tbody&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/table&amp;gt;&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;You can see by the example how it pays to compare the weekly ads to the coupons that you have available. By doing it before you go shopping, you can make sure that you have printed the coupons necessary to maximize your savings. At regular price and without coupons, the shopper would have paid $18.00, but instead the purchase was $2.45. Not bad!&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;h3&amp;gt;Cash Back and Coupon Overages&amp;lt;/h3&amp;gt;&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;If a coupon value is greater than the price of the item, the difference will be applied to the balance of the total transaction.\u00A0 It will not be given back as cash. The applied balance is only applied to the merchandise being purchased and will not be applied to gift cards, pre-paid money cards or phone cards. Other restrictions may apply.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;h3&amp;gt;Digital Coupons&amp;lt;/h3&amp;gt;&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;For shoppers interested in using &amp;lt;a href=&amp;quot;https://www.thebalance.com/top-coupon-apps-939883&amp;quot; data-component=&amp;quot;link&amp;quot; data-source=&amp;quot;inlineLink&amp;quot; data-type=&amp;quot;internalLink&amp;quot; data-ordinal=&amp;quot;10&amp;quot;&amp;gt;paperless digital coupons&amp;lt;/a&amp;gt;, Dollar General does offer digital coupons as part of the coupon program.
