Hi and welcome to AFC! Doubling and tripling is refering to stores that will double and/or triple the value of your coupons. Not all stores do this and some people have no stores in their area that will do this at all. Different stores that double or triple may also have different values that they will double. It would be best to call around your local stores ahead of time to find out if they will double and find out any limits, etc. (one of my stores will only double 3 coupons for every $10 spent and only 2 like coupons, but the other store will double unlimited coupons up to $.50).

To answer your other question, no you can't use more than one coupon on one item unless your store will allow a store coupon and a manufacturer coupon to be used together. However, you can buy 5 of the same item and use 5 of the same coupons (ie. $1/1). Hope that helps a little!
