How is money made in coupon sales?

Answer 1

I have worked in grocery for a couple years, and the way money is made in coupon sales is: A manufactorer coupon is one that you clip out from a penny saver or is issued from somewhere other than the actual store in one of their flyers. They have a small box where the cashier enters the amount the item was sold for. The store gives the discount, then later gets reimbursed from the manufactorer for the sale. A store coupon is one issed by the store itself. These are usually done for promotion. And the store counts on people buying other items than those just on the coupons, so they are still making profit. FunFact: If someone has more than a certain amount of coupons, you have to get a store manager approval [check if the coupons are valid] to continue the order as a loss prevention protection protocall.
