If the same book was sold at $5.50, the coupon would be rejected -- they're already giving you a higher discount.
If you try to use a coupon in store (or their teacher/professional discount of 20%) on something already on sale, they will often give you the discount asked for (off list), instead of the current discount. Resulting in paying MORE than the price already stickered. I often have to divide my checkout into two piles, as a result.
