coupon codes amazon

 Readers like you have been sharing their thoughts on what they’re seeing in the coupon space lately. Whether they feel that coupons have too much text or not enough, they’re making their thoughts known. Can you relate?

I am writing to complain about the amount of text on coupons. Some of them have so much that they are wordy to the point of being ridiculous. My newspaper had a coupon for shampoo that read '[Brand] products including [Variety] and [Variety]. Excludes [Variety], [Variety], [Variety], [Variety], and [Variety].'

I wish these companies would just make their coupons valid on whatever products are made for a certain brand. It is difficult, especially if your eyesight is not the best, to look at this long list of different shampoos and try to discern exactly which ones the coupon is good for, especially when the exclusions outnumber the correct products.

A few weeks ago, another reader wrote about frustration with coupons that do not have enough detail in the fine print. I realize some coupons have too much fine print as it is, but lately, I have also seen some with not enough information at all.

For example, my newspaper inserts had a coupon for $1 off a certain brand of ketchup. The coupon simply said '$1 off' and showed the different varieties. When I went to buy the ketchup though, the coupon did not scan. The cashier said she had seen this one before and that you actually had to buy five bottles of ketchup to get $1 off.
