I just have a quick question — when using the red card discount, cartwheel, and TM discount which order do they stack on?
Example:
Something is $10 and it’s 10% off on cartwheel, 10% off TM discount and 5% off redcard, which order do they stack in?

I believe it goes Cartwheel, TM, Redcard?
So it would 1.00 off from cartwheel, 90 cents off from TM discount, and then 5% off of $8.10?

Is this correct?
 
Doing math on a recent receipt tells me that you are correct. The only thing I would say is that you forgot manufacturer's coupons, which come out before Cartwheel discounts, I think. So a percentage-off Cartwheel discount is calculated on the post-coupon cost.
 
It makes sense, because Cartwheel is not a general discount but changes the actual price of items, so you're not going to get 10% off of the original price; just what are paying for. And then Redcard comes dead last and it's just off of what you're paying after everything else.
 
I believe the official order is cartwheel, manf coupon, cartwheel manf (If no paper manf was used), ™ discount, red card discount.

This is correct, but with percentages the order doesn't matter... Only the flat amount coupons effect things.

So if I have something that costs $3 and have a cartwheel for 50% off and a manf coupon for $1 off...would it be 50c (cartwheel then manf) or $1 (manf then cartwheel)?

Edit : typo

percantages the order totally matters for that reason.

it's cartwheel then manf. so yes, you'd pay 50c.
 
Percentages the order doesn't matter. 10% off then 20% off is the same as 20% off then 10% off. (1.00*0.90*0.80 == 1.00*0.80*0.90)
The manufacturer coupon is a form of payment not a discount so it is after all discounts are applied.

Nope. That math is wrong. Try it with a calculator.

That math is perfect, although a manufacturer coupon would come off before any of those percent discounts, I think. The point is that if you are just doing percents, the order doesn’t matter. I guess I don’t know specifics on whether cartwheel or manufacturer coupons come first, but I do know math.
 
I always think the order of percentage stacking should matter, but it doesn't.

I believe cartwheel coupons get included in the original % multipliers as a discount (pre-tax) but cartwheel manufacturer/actual manufacturer coupons are post-tax as a payment method as you aren't getting a discounted price, the manufacturer is really paying that amount for you via reimbursement to the store at a later date.
