That's what I heard. Which is a odd thing to do. Acting like its till 2020 with 85% of theaters closed.

I didn't know it was there. Just knew it was on P+. But clipping coupons might not interest people,

I got caught behind an extreme couponer once at a grocery store. It took forever. But after seeing the bill start around $800 and end up under $100 was truly impressive.

How long ago was this encounter? Most of the coupons these days are via apps like ibotta, checkout51, or fetch rewards.

The manufacturer can restrict the number of items an app coupon is good for (usually 5) and as a bonus they don't have to deal with stores mailing in piles of coupons to their headquarters. The apps get to keep all of your sweet, sweet user data and get paid a slice from the manufacturer.
