Fraudulent Coupons

Coupon fraud costs manufacturers and retailers millions of dollars each year, according to the Grocery Manufacturer's Association. As a consumer, it is important to know your coupon rights, so that you can continue to benefit from the discounts and savings coupons provide. The Cambridge Supermarket is updated daily on fraudulent coupons and wants to give you with the same information provided by the Coupon Information Corporation.

Visit the Coupon Information Corporation website for an up-to-date fraudulent coupon list.

Online coupons are accepted by the Cambridge Supermarket but they must have valid scannable barcodes, expiration dates, and "small/fine print." This is information you would find on traditional coupons available in newspapers or provided by the manufacturers. You should never buy coupons over the internet, is is not legally acceptable to sell/buy coupons. According to the Federal Trade Commission, "There's only one legitimate way to use a coupon: Cut it out of the newspaper or other source and use it toward the purchase of the designated product."
