Coupons are supposed to help us keep more money in our wallets. That’s why so many shoppers hunt them down, clip them, and plan their trips around them. But have you ever walked out of the store with a cart full of “deals” and a receipt that’s bigger than you expected? It’s a common experience.

Understanding why this happens can help you avoid common traps and make smarter shopping choices.
