Michelle at I HEART PUBLIX just addressed the subject of internet printable coupons...Every couponer and cashier needs to be aware of this. When it comes to coupons printed off the internet you can usually print 2 per item per computer. Some people may have 2 computers(or more), they then have the ability to print 4+ coupons for one product. Each coupon has a different barcode(a splotchy image in the upper right corner on some coupons). There are a couple barcodes on printable coupons--but this is the one that is different on each coupon.
That being said you can NOT take a coupon and make copies. That is fraud.
Exception is coupons saved as PDFs.
This is the same information that I shared with a local grocery director the other day. The examples she shows are from Coupons.com and Smartsource.com coupons.

Shannon,
What if you print a coupon that is in pdf form? Will someone be able to tell the difference?
A pdf coupon is different. This applies to coupons.com, smartsource.com, redplum.com
OK,
Lets clear some of this up I thought that in the past when my husband and myself not on the same computer, his at work and mine at home,printed coupons they had the same code. So I just printed 2 coupons from RP they are the same. When I tried on the SS print they are not the same. So lets hope that when we go into the store that someone does not call fraud b/c we use a coupon with the same code. You should look at this because managers of stores might be reading this and we could all be in a lot of trouble. Try it and see.
Thanks
I am talking about another number. Look in the upper right corner of the coupon. The numbers are different on each one you print. SmartSource numbers change on the bottom. You can visit I Heart--she has a coupon scanned in and the numbers circled.
yes I am looking at the same thing mine are the same on the top and on the bottom.
Mine are all different for each coupon I print...Readers how do your coupons print out?
mine all have different numbers.
I've looked through all my internet coupons and the numbers are different.
All of mine are different on Coupons.com/ Red Plum.com/ and Smartsource.com... Thanks for clarifying it for us. :)
