OMG!! ~ Has anyone else noticed??

When I was clipping my 3/2 Nivea yesterday I noticed all the Nivea coupons had the Limit of 4 like coupons in the same shopping trip.

WTH! Is this something new now with Nivea? Do you suppose more and more coupons will start having this stipulation on them? Grrrrr they are making it harder and harder. One good thing is that at least its a higher $ value and it is off 2 so that actually means 8 products, but still . . .

They aren't good enough coupons to use anyways ...if I'm gonna use Nivea..it's gotta be $3/1 or it will nevah evah get used...I'm not paying anything but tax for that stuff.

You can thank that show for that!

Carol, not only the limitations of # used, but check the expiration dates on some of these coupons! Two weeks??? Seriously??? All we can hope is that enough of them don't get used and the marketing depts will decide they're wasting their money printing them

Do you have a CVS?
I just used those $3/2 coupons yesterday to get 4 Nivea lip thingies and made a dollar on them... Buy 4/$10 pay $4 ac then get back a $5 ecb.

I wouldn't be surprised to see the major mfrs following P&G on the limits stipulation. It seems I saw that on another coupon recently, I don't remember which one (maybe it was the Nivea).
Doesn't bother me to much since I only
get 3 papers and rarely need to buy more than 4 of anything. If I do, I can always make a second trip.

Yep- and the evidence is in my measly coupon box... When I purged for Jan, I ended up with the smallest # of coupons ever! I have less and less in there that are more than 2 months back.

I am not bothered with the limit of 4, but I'm noticing more and more coupons are getting short expiration dates, some came out in the past that were expiring in a week with the expiration date encircled

I guess that is one way manufacturers are trying to stop selling of coupons online. With short exp dates combined with turtle pace mailing, they think people may get discourage and quit buying them online

Nope no CVS..Just a WAGS..which are a PITA so I rarely ever bother going.

I do 90% of my HBA shopping at Walmart..so those coupons won't get used

In case NIVEA is watching

*WHEN YOU ONLY GIVE US 2 WEEK EXP DATES ON ALL YOUR COUPONS I WON'T EVEN BOTHER CLIPPING THEM*

P&G must like my business more, they at least give me a month

People have misused and exploited the couponing system so much, therefore we are seeing more and more restrictions on coupons. Shorter expiration dates, limits on quantities, etc. I wouldn't be surprised if many manufacturers just quit issuing coupons altogether.
