I got most of this at Target.  They do not double coupons but you can coupon stack.  This means you can print a Target coupon and use manufactors coupon as well. Using the soups as an example, There was a coupon in the paper for $1.00 off 1 Cambells Kettle Soup.  Target also offered a coupon for $1.00 of 1 soup.  At Target these soups retails for $2.99.  They had select flavors cleranced at $2.25, minus my 2 coupnons, I paid $0.25 for each soup.
