Q: "I enjoy your column and have found some very helpful tips by reading it. I have a question. If I have a buy-one-get-one-free coupon and an additional $1 coupon for the same product, can I use them in the same transaction? For example, I have a BOGO coupon for a jar of peanut butter and I have a $1 coupon for the same brand of peanut butter."

A: It's up to your store. To understand why some stores allow it, let's review the wording on each coupon. As we've discussed frequently in my column, each item that we buy is a purchase; each trip through the checkout lane is a transaction. Manufacturer coupons typically state "One per purchase" or "One coupon per item purchased."
