RetailMeNot is a weird name isn't it? "don't sell stuff (to me)" for a site for selling stuff (to me)!?

RetailMeNot means don't charge me retail price and rather give me the discounted price by use of coupons found on the RetailMeNot website. It was a wordplay of BugMeNot.
If you read it as "don't sell me stuff at retail price" then it makes more sense.
