Winn Dixie Complaint - Unfair treatment - Couponing

Posted by olie on 2011-11-23:

Might there be a Florida law that bans double coupons?

A lot of grocery chains have severely limited double couponing. For example, here in WI, I think the Pick'n'Save chain is the only one that allows double coupons. Every Wednesday. Up to $1.00, but not for "free" items, and the doubling can't exceed the price of the item.

For a while, it was only ONE Wednesday per month. Due to customer response, the company went back to the weekly.

If it isn't because of a law, you can probably thank all those extreme coupon people for it.

Both previous comments are appropriate.

I did a bunch of digging and a lot of coupon sites say there is no doubling in Florida.

no one seems to know why---a few people say it might have something to do with the tax code in Florida, but I found no reason, just lots of couponers upset that no Florida stores will double their coupons.
