Coupon Fail.. The Least Motivating Coupon I Have Seen Yet!!

June 13, 2012 by jlpenner 15 Comments

So the other night I ran to Von’s to pick up a treat after a hard day for my husband and I.  I ended up with German Chocolate cake for him and a caramel apple covered in nuts and chocolate for me.. not so frugal, but tasty and worth it!!

When I checked out they handed me this coupon:

 

I have to say.. that is about the least motivating coupon I have ever seen. Whoopee.. if I spend a whopping $200 on my next purchase.. they will give me $5 off.

I am planning my shopping trip right now.. lol!!

    And you must use a Discover credit card with a gigundous interest rate. Sigh!

    $200 for $5 off? That's absolutely ridiculous.

    Then they'll charge you interest as HIGH as they can legally get by with! Save 2.5% PAY 23.6% compounding interest! Yeah, I wanna fly to use that one. Actually I don't even have a discover card and I suspect I am much better off for it.

    Not a coupon, but a while a go saw an offer from Chase bank saying if you open a a new savings account with them and make a deposit of $10,000 or more into it, you get $100 credited to your account....
