Default Do Not Double... WHY?

Why do manufactors put Do Not Double on their coupons? It really doesn't affect them, does it? They pay for the coupon value and the store "pays" for the doubled amont, right?

My grocery store stopped doubling DND coupons and it definately changes my deals!

I agree, I think they are and also I believe they put them on coupon products they know will be super cheap or free so they don't have to pay. think the stores made an agreement for them to do it this way but I am not sure. I know that has been the trend here. They have to manually press a button to make it not happen. That happened to me at Piggly Wiggly recently so I am not wanting to go back there, not that they had great deals most of the time anyway, lol

Default Re: Do Not Double... WHY?

It too baffles me as to why the put it on there when the they pay face value while the store pays the double value. If they prefer we not buy the product while using the coupon, why bother printing the coupon at all? LOL

Default Re: Do Not Double... WHY?

Would someone want to post a coupon that DND and then the contact informaiton for that coupon/company and we could all email the company to ask?? I would think if a company got 50-100-200-500 emails they might 1. answer us and 2. stop doing it??

If someone would take the time to post the info, I will email and will also ask friends to email as well!!

Default Re: Do Not Double... WHY?

The only thing I can think of that makes any LOGICAL sense is that the wording "Do not double or triple" is on there for the CASHIER'S sake, not the customer. So it is there to make sure the cashier does not scan that ONE coupon two or three times. The wording on coupons is pretty clear that you can only use ONE coupon per item, but some people may think that "Doubling" means scanning the coupon more than once, or using ONE coupon for multiple products.

Maybe some cashiers were scanning the coupons multiple times and the stores were trying to get reimbursed for the multiple use of one coupon. Most fine print reflects trying to avoid problems that have occurred in the past with improper usage, so they write up verbiage to protect themselves.

I don't know, but that's the only LOGICAL thing that makes sense to me. The manufacturers aren't there to protect store losses, but their own losses. Stores can pretty much take a loss or double/triple whatever they want to be competitive and get customers in the door.

Default Re: Do Not Double... WHY?

From previous discussions on this topic, I believe the consensus was that manufacturers put DND on coupons for the benefit of the retailers. Retailers would rather not double coupons -- they like to say they do for competitive sake, but know that most customers don't understand how to take advantage of it (like price matching) -- and they don't like it when the manufacturers put the burden of doubling coupons on them.

Manufacturers can then tell the retailers -- "see, we are looking out for you" and then it's up to the retailers to catch any DND 5 issues. The retailers and manufacturers have a close relationship and each depends on the other for their success.

The thing is...most stores don't double at all . The one store that does by me...doesn't care if they say do not double or not they double regardless.


Really look at the All You Magazine. All the conagra coupons say "Do not double" and they are the DND9 as well. That magazine is put out by Wallyworld and it's not like Wallyworld has ever doubled a coupon.

Default Re: Do Not Double... WHY?

I really think ALL cashiers know better than to scan a coupon more than one time even if the person got more than one of the product and only has one coupon.

Bostonred you sound pretty right to me...

Bolossmed I have one here its for 55cents off of glad trash bags, it came off of the box I got the other day...yeh would have used it but I have some for $1 off..

Freds and kroger will not double them..those are the only two that I ahve that ever do double coupons..freds only on staurday and kroger I have to like 45 minutes drive to get to and I think they are to high on most of the stuff unless its on sale...
