    Yep. They get credit for your donation & they get a tax write-off for the coupons, and they get to sell more stuff so you’ll get the “value” out of the coupons. It’s a win win win for them and only a win for you if you were going to otherwise buy the exact same things the coupons covered.

      Oh yeah. they’re totally assholes.

      Same goes for those “would you like to round up for <insert relevant children’s thing here>” programs. Fucking ghouls.
