Saturday 11/21: Watch coupon rules-Buy this, get that

Occasionally there will be a coupon that allows you to save off of two separate items, or to buy one and get a different one free or at a discount. I rarely cut these out because I rarely need both items, and if you stop to calculate the actual savings, it's not much. The odds that I'll need both items, find them both on sale, and have the coupon be high enough to be a significant savings are small. Also, one of the items is normally higher-priced than a similar brand (e.g. you have to get Carnation canned milk when Eagle is cheaper). However, if you know you'll buy both items, better to save some than nothing. Just make sure you get the right items at the right sizes to get the advertised savings.
