While we may not have supermarkets nearby that will double coupons for us, we do have a Super Target in Algonquin that offers Target coupons to print at home and use along with a manufacturer's coupon.

One example of a current Target coupon is for $1 off on Neutrogena facial product that can be combined with a $5 off manufacturer's coupon for Neutrogena Complete Acne Therapy System. There are many other coupons available at the Target website that can be combined with other current coupons that can be found on-line and in the local coupon inserts.
