It happens only in America

This could only happen in America, here's the story:

The retail chain store Target had a coupon for $1 off any 2 gerber baby food item, they have gerber baby food which are as low as 52 cents effectively making 2 baby food for 4 cents. The promotion lasted month long and parents enjoyed it a lot, most of the Targets ran out of the baby food and restocking them will not help them either. By the end of the promotion most of the Target started limiting number of coupons that you can use.

Below is an excerpt that I borrowed from one of the deal discussion sites. See how the person is ripping off the store, enjoying every bit of it and all this is legal.

"After having an awful experience trying to redeem 20 $1/2 Gerber coupons (10 by my wife, 10 for me) at the Liberty, Missouri SuperTarget for our 6-month old twins, we finally had success this weekend at the same store. I had my coupon policy in hand and was hoping to run into the same cashier and manager (I'd wanted to see their jaws drop -- at the very least, they would have had to restock the shelves).

We rolled up with 3 baskets of baby food and had 170 coupons, individually cut out, numbered, and ready to go. I'm not sure all the coupons got scanned, though, but that was at least $170 in savings right there!

The register ran out of "tape" while printing the mile-long receipt. We paid roughly $50 for all of this stuff (we did not exclusively buy jars, as you can see), after using a few manufacturer's coupons from Gerber and from two from the Internet . Employees were gathering around us in awe while the receipt printed out, and I paid with a gift card. We were surprised that the transaction went through with no hitch. We were prepared to buy 10 at a time. The cashier, a woman in her 40's, was enjoying all the attention from it.

Here is the weekend's bounty, all sorted and organized (boy, that was fun!). I know that 340 containers of food won't be enough to last the twins' feeding habits for more than a couple months, but it was nice finally to see some "justice" on that store. Enough other people must have complained, or maybe they realized that restocking product that they are trying to get rid of was just a futile effort on their part. "
