Beware

With the growing use of social media people tend to post pictures of their "haul" or deals on various social media sites.  This is a good way to let your friends know about a potentially good buy.  However, this is also the way that coupon misuse could be spread.  I only post deals that I would do myself and that I know for sure are legit.  Don't take anyone's deal post as a deal you should go out and do until you verified for yourself it is legit and truly a good deal.  I don't care if a coupon is scanning for a smaller than stated toothpaste, if the coupon states 4.0 or larger and you use it for a 2.5 oz that is coupon misuse.  The store might not get reimbursed for the item you misused the coupon on which could cause them to stricken their coupon policy.
I am also seeing people selling their stockpile.  Again this is coupon misuse or coupon fraud.  Many coupons now state that it is illegal to use the coupon on an item for resale.  Read your coupons to familiarize yourself with the ins and outs of that particular coupon.
