How many coupons can you print from each coupon site?

I search for coupons on several sites. Each site has their own (I assume it is their own, not the manufacture's) limit to how many of the same coupon you can print. If you print the limit, it says that you can't print anymore. However...since there are so many sites and they all have basically the same coupons...is this "limit" total you can have PER SITE or per coupon no matter which site you get it from? Anyone have experience in this? I guess I can just go to each site and print them out and see, but I don't want to get embarresed at the register if I get 6 coupons and 6 items and 3 of the coupons are invalid.

Well I Like to go through my Mypoints account. See it is the big coupon sites through them but everytime you print and use a coupon you earn five points in the MYpoints account. My husband and I both have accounts so I usually print a set from each. (Mypoints has two companies to print from) so that we both earn points as well. We use the Mypoints as Christmas money so we like to spread the wealth so to speak. We do not print a ton of them though. We cannot use them in the one store as they do not except printed coupons and the other store will not except it if the item comes out or is for free. They are very on top of things and those extreme coupon people we where typing about before would hate them!

My Points is my first option. I use that alot and buy online there and get points too. Good program.
That is another thing... many store don't take internet printed coupons cause they are worried that they have been "copied" and mass produced or something like that. In a way I understand their concern, but I'd be more concerned about those hoarders we spoke about. I wouldn't be surprised if they put a cap on how many dollars you can use in one day with coupons after this series has been aired!! I remember in the 80's when couponing and rebates were huge and the manufactures got mad cause we used them so much, and that is when they started curtailing them alot.
But I have always been a couponier. Didn't do like they did, just found what I would use and kept them until I needed them or the item came on sale. I just recently fell off the coupon wagon for health reasons and couldn't deal with it but have been meaning to get back with it for some time now.
Honestly, I don't want to be a hoarder. I just want what we need for now and an earthquake supply and "a little extra"...as unemployment is often a problem with us..more so the older we get!

I do not need to have twenty of everything either..lol. I am increasing the coupon searches a more since last week when my husband was laid off. I only buy what we use or I think we might be able to use. I see no need to buy so much of items that might not be used. I also print from Inbox dollars as well. I also earn incentives there.

I can see that if you get unemployed, a huge stock like that would be so helpful...but really...all that work for all that loot...and you will never use the majority of it before either it goes bad or you die!! So what's the point? This is where "hoarders" come in. These people are hoarders, not what they show on that show "Hoarders: Buried Alive" on TLC.

I dont have more patience writing and printing more coupons on different sites. That makes me bored and i feel i dont have the challenge on doing that. Filling up coupons are too tiring so that i can say that i can do more about these coupons..I feel that i am tired whenever i hear about coupon..

Couponing is not easy or quick. IT is work and does take time. The more you do the more time and work it takes. And these days they aren't that great...'25 cents off 3 cans" is just not worth the time, when most likely another brand is cheaper even without the coupon. I don't bother with those. I just look for better ones. But that is hard these days. Back in the day...coupons were $1-$2 off one item. That is why I stopped doing much. Just wasn't worth it. But with online coupons now, it helps alot and if I have a particular item/brand I want, I go to their web site and often there is a coupon there. I just want to know where these extreme couponers get the $1 off ones!

I know that Coupons.com limits you to printing two of each available coupon from a single computer in most cases. That limit applies for all of the sites that provide coupons from them, like InboxDollars, SendEarnings, Swagbucks, and a few grocery stores' websites. If you have more than one computer, you can print up to two on each of them without issues.
I've used six printed coupons for the same items in a single transaction before. The cashier didn't have a problem with it. Some coupons do say that you can only use so many identical coupons in the same transaction, but if the coupon doesn't limit it you shouldn't have any problem using multiples.

The grocery and Target I go to have never had a problem with any I have used. Most are from Mypoints and Couponsurfer. Sometimes I will print two and use them at the same time other times, I'll wait and later if I decide I need more of that i will print again. My bi-weekly (every 2 weeks?) budget is limited and I can't go over...and these coupons help alot but never have given me a high percent savings. I usually get about $30 off $150. The only time really it "pays" to stock up is if you happen to get the item free or really discounted.
