For those of you who don't know.. the majority of stores outside of Utah will double coupons. Double coupon days are when the face value of a coupon under a dollar will double up to a dollar.
For example: 25 cents off = 50 cents off
35 = 70 cents off
40 = 80 cents off
50 cents = $1.00 off!
And 75 will equal $1.00, because that is the cap..
If you "like" Ridley's Family Market on Facebook they will post when there double coupon days are.
Orem Ridley's consistently has Double Coupon Tuesday.
Some surrounding Walmarts will "Match" this on Tuesday. But if you live in Davis or Weber County they don't make it easy for you.
And of course, Walmart is as raunchy as they can possibly be about this. You'll have to double check that the Walmart will match and then probably get a customer service manager to help your cashier out.
Freebies2deals.com is my FAVORITE website now days! She suggests printing off the NEW coupon policy, and the Price Matching policy from their corporate website. Put them in your purse or coupon binder and then you can whip it out and show them THEIR rules! haha
(Double Couponing is done only at the Manager's discretion so this will not be on the Policy)
Make sure you are following the rules and stick to what you deserve!
Anyways, I saved $78.05 on my purchase at Ridley's. I drove to Tremonton on Thursday the 21st. Even though this is Idaho we are talking about, it is not a bad drive. Freeway the whole way only 35-40 minutes from my house.
We got there just after they opened. The Assistant Manager helped me get an Advantage card and confirmed that it was a double coupon day. I was practically the only shopper at the store. It really worked out for us because I could take my time looking at prices and deciding if they would be a good deal.
Downside, Ridley's is a small market and they don't carry everything. If it's not on sale it is way more than you would spend at Walmart. I found things doubled or tripled in price!
I had Kevin call Brigham City Walmart to see if they would match the doubling. No :( they won't. I currently have about a two inch stack of coupons I wanted to double yesterday.
Just look at the stuff I was able to get!
These are my FOOD items:
2 bags of chips, 2 boxes of popcorn, 2 bottles of powerade zero, 4 small tubs of bestlife (very healthy) butter, 1 bottle of parkay squeezable butter, 1 box of whole grain rice, 2 packages of keebler ready crust, 4 cresent rolls packages, 2 cinnamon roll packages, 2 lbs of brown sugar, 2 boxes of quick cook pasta, 2 boxes of gushers, 1 box of fruit roll-ups, a box of fruit by the foot and a dozen eggs (not pictured)
I got the following cleaning/personal care items: 2 laundry stain sticks, 1 bottle of hand soap, 2 clorox bleach bottles, 1 windex multi-surface spray, 2 skintimate shave gels, 1 johnsons baby wash, 1 mens body wash, 2 tubs of scotts natural flushable wipes, 1 dove deodrant, 2 glade carpet and room powder, 2 comet bleach powders, 2 colgate kids toothpaste,1 sunsations liquid soap, and 2 packages of halls cough drops.
If your interested in the deals I got read on.. otherwise go find something else to do!

Best life buttery spread was on a Manager's Special because they weren't selling it. (I guess farmers in Tremonton are not interested in paying extra for healthy butter) I looked at this at Walmart and I was not going to pay that price. So excited to find it was $1.50 on sale!
