It's just someone who has learned to work the system.

I don't understand why you're saying coupon use is manipulation. The stores get reimbursed for the manufacturer's coupons, plus 8 cents. If manufacturers and stores didn't intend for consumers to use coupons they would have stopped printing and advertising them a long time ago.

I didn't comment on whether it was right or wrong. I said it wasn't allowed. Everywhere I shop has had rules about coupon use that restrict the ways they can be used. I can buy one item and use one coupon. If I didn't buy it,I can't use a coupon and I can't use two coupons or get money back, blah, blah, blah. I no longer see any stores that double coupons.

In my stores it is allowed. all of my stores ring up B1G1 free half price. So if the cereal was 3.79, so if they are on B1G1f they ring up at $1.89 and $1.90. So you are able to use 2 coupons on 2 items.

A lot of stores still double, all over the place.

I'm not trying to be rude/abrupt.. my opinion on this is very strong. Its not wrong, It is allowed. and the way she is using them IS legal.

Who said it wasn't legal? We can only do our stores allow.

I think this is a pointless conversation. I made one comment about my experience only. No judgment at all and somehow people are upset. Why?
