Why do companies prevent you from combining $X off coupons? If someone makes multiple purchases they still are discounting the same total amount right?

Just an FYI, the “systems” stores use to utilize coupons are not always 100% accurately working. They need to be coded in a way that the system will obey the rules of the actual coupon, but this is not always the case. “extreme couponing” is just abusing this fact. They find coupons with flat dollar amounts off that are not coded in the system correctly, and will scan multiple times. Then they think they can use the overage of the extra coupons to “buy” other groceries.
Usually all you have to do is look at the fine print on the coupon itself for the “rules of use” and point that out to them. Even if it “scans” it doesn’t mean its obeying the terms of the coupon.
Also, manufacturer coupons for a flat value don’t always account for the discounted price of their items, so if they make a product assuming its msrp is $5, and make a $4 coupon to get people to buy it, but X store sells it for $3, and you have 10 of the coupons, you can’t really get 10 free dollars and you also can’t exempt yourself from sales tax by overaging coupons.
TLDR I hate extreme couponers and they are just scam artists.
