The whole idea of couponing is using a coupon paired up with a sale to get the lowest price (sometimes free) on items you will use.
When using coupons you must purchase the number of items listed on the coupon to use them correctly. Coupons that are $X/1 are good for the X amount indicated off of 1 item. Coupons that are $X/2 are only to be used when purchasing 2 of the items listed and are good for a total of X amount off of the 2 items purchased. For example if you have a $1/2 coupon you will receive $1 off the purchase of 2 items. If you only purchase 1 items and try to use this coupon, it will not be accepted.
