The Dark Side of Couponing
I went today and bought (2) different boxes, (1) penne and (1) rotini. The coupon specifies the 150 pasta and also specifies only (1) coupon per transaction on like items. When I got to the register, the first coupon rang ok but the 2nd had to be pushed thru. So, even the two different types of pasta present a problem for the 2nd coupon in the transaction. If I use it as the coupon states, (2) boxes would be $1.49 – (1) $.65 coupon = $.84 for (2) or $.42/ea. Still, not bad but not a dime, for sure!
The coupon reads No more than one (1) coupon for the same product in the same transaction, which I read as meaning you can’t load up on multiple coupons for one item. And the limit one coupon per purchase is just repeating that idea, it’s actually the wording on most coupons. Purchase (of one or multiple items), not transaction. And yes, I’ve been told by cashiers that people have tried to use multiple identical coupons to get items for free.
