I went grocery shopping to a store I don’t usually visit.

It was ACME. Before shopping, I asked customer service if I needed to join a loyalty program to get all available discounts. I was told all the sale items were posted for everyone, but extra digital coupons could be “clipped” by downloading the ACME app.

So I downloaded the app and browsed the offerings, finding a bunch of coupons for items I was planning to buy. I “clipped” them and went shopping.
