Here's what I got at Scolari's today.
Marshmallows - $0.50 (in clearance section)
1 Deli Fresh meat - $0.99 (in clearance section)
3 Beechnut baby meals - FREE
2 Energizer batteries - FREE
Pork Tri-tip - $8.03
Final price: $9.81
For those of you with picky Scolari's stores, I'm including a picture of my receipt. The register automatically adjusts the doubling of the coupon so that it will not go over the price of the item.
The Beechnut costs $1.59. The first coupon came off as $1.00. When the cashier pushed the key to double it, only $0.59 came off so that the final price was free but no overages. The coupon does not exceed the price of the item.
The coupon policy online states, "Offer excludes all liquor, tobacco, dairy regulated items, store coupons and coupons that exceed the value of the item." There is nothing mentioned in their policy that an item can't be free. (They are being reimbursed by the manufacturer, after all.)
Also, their online policy used to state a limit of ten coupons would be doubled each transaction but it no longer does. Their printed ad actually states, "Unlimited manufacturer's coupons up to and including $1.00."
Hopefully this will help clear up any confusion and we can all enjoy the beauty of doubling coupons at Scolari's, no matter which location we happen to shop at!

Good Job Natalie...Grocery stores should out source work to you for coupon studies and profit gains in clearance sections.
It looks to me like Scolaries is hedging their losses against savy shoppers like you. They are recovering their coupon costs and you are getting an item for free. No overages, but still a win/win situation. Wish I was as good at this as you, but then you wouldn't have access to my coupons. Hmmmm!
