New with questions!!!

I have been looking around afc for a few weeks now. there are questions i have, well a lot probably i just dont think i will think of all them now. Ok... when do you know if you can double your coupons?
How do some get their items for less than .25c sometimes? for free? besides having free coupons of course.
and what do all the abbreviations stand for when we are talking about different coupons? for instance i think i noticed one was and IP coupon? there are alot more i just haven't figured them out yet.
do some grocery stores take multiple coupons for one item without realizing it. I haven't tried it. I heard that sometimes the cashiers just dont care and scan all your coupons to make their life easier. well if anyone else has some good advise please feel free to comment back to me. thanks for your help!
KT

Welcome to AFC!!

Double coupons: ask at customer service at your local store.

Check out the Steals and Deals section (blue bar at the top of your screen--Resources).

Look at bottom of your screen where it says, "new to the site?" You'll see the list of acronyms.

As far as more than one coupon...Most stores will take a manufacturer coupon and a store coupon for the same item. The store coupon will say "Target Coupon" or "Walgreens coupon" or whatever on it. Manufacturers coupons say "manufacturer's coupon" on it most of the time. The bulk of the coupons you find are manufacturer's coupons.

Hope this helps!

IP means internet printed coupon. Some stores don't take those and only want manufacturer's coupons, etc.

Some coupons don't specify "no trial sizes." A lot of free items come from that. You can look at Wal-mart steals and deals to find out what there is available right now!

Welcome to AFC!!!!! You will love it.

My grocery store doubles coupons everyday up to $.60 but everyone is different. You just have to ask. You can learn alot here, just do alot of reading! Good luck!

the easiest way i learned to get around and be able to navagate is: when i log in i check the box below log in to "remember me" then, hit the button log in. When i get to the home page i then go to NEW POSTS and once that opens, I BOOKMARK that page. (right click on a blank area on that page and choose create shortcut) that will place an ICON on your desktop and so you will only have to click on that ICON to get into AFC You may get this message once you get there "vBulletin Message

Do you mean the friendship cards, to add someone to your friendship list? If so, you click on the persons name, scroll to "add "so&so" to your contacts", then a new window will open and ask if you're sure you want to add them and it'll also ask if you'd like to add them to your friendship list. If you do, click yes. It'll send them a request to be your friend. HTH.

Also, to see your contacts and friends you can click "Quick Search" (top right), scroll to "Contacts & Friends" (under networking), this'll open a window and show all your friends and contacts listed. You can also click "Open Contacts" (under quick search) and a little window will open that'll show your contacts/friends and if they're on/off line. HTH.
