Hey they are making a profit off of our coupon cutting! On a side note some of the CVS stores in Massachusetts accept expired manufacturers coupons. Somehow I think you all know that. I am always impressed with everyone's coupon knowledge!
retailers recieve money plus because of handling issues-from store , to corporate to mfgr. if the mfgr did not pay for stores to accept coupons it would be too much of a hassle and not worth it for stores to do so.
