Kettle Baked Chips - Have you READ the Fine Print??

[xythnia]

So I try hard to always look at the fine print of every coupon I encounter. Especially since the L1pT/C (aka Limit 1 per Transaction/Customer) is getting more common. Anyways, while going thru the family's Q stash and pulling 1/31s + checking fine print, I find this on a regular ole insert Q:

$1/1 Kettle Brand Baked Potato Chips, Any 4 Oz. + - 01-03-10 SS
Offer good only on product(s) indicated. No more than 2 coupons may be redeemed per purchase. Customer pays sales tax.

What?? OK, am I reading this right?? Doesn't this mean I can use (2) coupons per (1) bag of chips?? I'm not saying I wouldn't have a HECK of a time explaining that to the cashier/Asst.Mgr/Mgr and that the machine wouldn't beep like mad BUT...

Any help in confirming my translation would be greatly appreciated!

I would take that to mean they only want the customer to be able to make two purchases with coupons at one time, not two coupons on one bag.

Just like the "do not double" nonsense, it's not up to corporate to dictate to stores how many of the same coupons they are allowed to redeem in one trip.

I'm sure the grocery stores who do currently allow up to 4 duplicate purchases with coupons for each will ignore that too, just like Harris Teeter ignores the do not double nonsense as well.

What a way to help muddle up transaction and purchase.

I read this as you can only use two coupon (on two items of course) per transaction.

That would make more sense but talk about destroying my explanations to people about Purchase verse Transaction! Ugh...

No, I had not read that and I doubt that most cashiers would catch that one. Even though it does appear to be written in their language! I can't tell you how many times I have had to differentiate between a purchase and a transaction! Crazy. I bought 2 bags the other day and used 2 Qs.
