Last night I found that the store I most like has started doubling coupons one day a week so I am going to try again. Any advice or web sites I should check out?

I'm with you on this one!!! Aldi's outbeats all our local grocery stores prices. One store started double couponing but you could only use up to $5 in coupons & had to spend $50 to get anything doubled!!
I don't always have $50/wk to toss away for groceries @ that store to save a few cents.
I save more buying generic & then using coupons I find online for the few namebrand products I actually use. Plus the paper here runs crummy coupons that again make Aldi's much cheaper even with the coupon. & if it's a good coupon it can't be doubled because it usually says "DO NOT DOUBLE"
So what's the point?!?!?
I'd love it if they didn't attach all these rules but the store does & it's the only one within a few counties that even double coupons at all. CAN"T WIN HERE!
