Doubt this would be true. Do not know answer.

Re: California Coupon Expiration Date

Yes, I have heard it is true, but do not know code section. But I have heard it applies to any consumer item, not just food.

Re: California Coupon Expiration Date

Coupons are what the law calls invitations to offer. When you go into a store you are making an offer to the store for the price listed on the coupon, and they then accept the offer and the transaction is completed.

I have done research on your question, but could not find any proof that coupons cannot expire in California. I would say it is unlikely there is a law eliminating expiration dates. . . if an individual establishment is doing so it is only for customer service purposes, otherwise it would really hamper retailer's ability to market their goods.
