Wine hangtags on PIES???

If Harris Teeter is taping wine tags to pie boxes and requiring you to purchase a pie in order to use the coupon which does not indicate a specific product then that is in violation of the terms of use of the manufacturer's coupon. In other words, the coupon taping to a pie box is not a problem but changing the manufacturer's terms on the coupon is illegal.

That's exactly what caught my attention: by taping them to the pie, and then saying "Did you buy a pie?" implies the policy "Get $$ off your order when you buy this pie". I did not read all the fine print on the specific coupons, but I've used enough in the past to know that I have never seen one that says you have to purchase the product to which the wine hangtag is attached in order to use the coupon. Of course, they hope you'll buy the wine, but it specifically says "No Wine Purchase Necessary". Yet, this week at least, it appears that a "Pie Purchase IS Necessary"!

Legal or not, I think it is an extremely sneaky and underhanded practice.... using coupons from another product/manufacturer to push their own product. And yet, I bought a pie! (Although not for the coupon.... I just want to serve pie with dinner tonight!)

I wonder if we'll see wine tags affixed to various HT weekly special products from now on? Hmmm....

I saw those.... the ones for $1 off Cool Whip, when you buy the pie? However, I did notice that the ones with the Cool Whip peelies did NOT have wine hangtags taped on. So, either you get $1 off Cool Whip, OR $1 off your order? I wonder if you take the wine hangtag off one pie box, and tape it to the box that has the Cool Whip peelie, would you be able to use both? After all, you did buy a pie!! Or would the Coupon Police slap your wrists and say "No pie for you!!"

I dunno..... I still think something is amiss......

No I don't believe you can use both. I didn't notice the peelie until I was checking out so I just put in my zippered pouch for later. I don't normally buy Cool Whip at all since I make my own whipped cream or use Reddi-Whip if I get it for almost free when my store has triples.

I don't recall seeing either the peelies or the pietags (hahaha, love that term) on them so I counted myself lucky to find the q on the floor. I put the Cool Whip aside for pie-making later - I have a raspberry / cream cheese / Oreo crust recipe that the hubby loves. We had our pie with ice cream instead. Delish!

[uummm]

You SHOULD be able to use the $1 off cool whip when you buy a pie AND $1 off pie....One is off pie one is off cool whip....The cool whip shouldn't beep, since it is coded for the cool whip-the pie one I haven't seen it might beep, but if it did, it would beep no matter if you bought the cool whip or not....Don't want to go into specifics on the coding part...I haven't examined the pie tags to know if it is a beeper or not.

The $1 off Cool Whip WYB Pie did NOT double for me. It states "Do Not Double" (if I remember correctly), but starts with a 5...so I have no idea how it did not double because she scanned it, she didn't punch it in.

That is, IMO, not kosher for Harris Teeter to do with the winetags/pietags.

Today mine had $1off bakery pie wine tags taped to wine bottles next to the table of pies. I thought I was going to get lucky till I read them. We don't eat pie.

My Teeter had 'pie tags' taped to wine bottles too, but I found them to be very weird ... They are a color photo-copy, 2-sided, and are very large (like 4x6 photo size). They say 'Clos du Bois' on the bottom (wine company). Its a nice quality copy, paper is slightly glossy, but that is unusual for a wine company to have paper vs heavyweight-type winetags & it was so big.

Now that you mention it, they did look different. I didn't examine them though. They were new and weren't there (nor were the wine bottles) yesterday.
