> I don’t expect the discount coupon comes out of the store’s cut.

That's how it used to work at the grocery store I worked at. The flyers were prepared a couple weeks in advance, the sales matched up with every other store that ordered food from loblaws, it was ordered down from loblaws to the stores that carry the products they ship and sell what things would be on sale on any given week throughout all the stores.

This is why superstores, extra foods, the independent grocers and super valus all have the same stuff on sale the same weeks.

The only things the store decided to put on sale was clearance stuff getting close to the expiry date.



Those are loblaws sales. The argument was instead talking about those little coupons you can clip out of cardboard in the boxes.

So like you physically cut up the cheerios box and can get 50 cents off cheerios at participating retailers.
