People taking peelies (coupons) off items in the store

486 September 25, 2008 at 05:01 PM in Chat (4)
Do you think it is wrong or okay for people to take peelies (coupons) off of items in the store when they don't ever buy that item?

Ooooo! I have one! What if someone else was taking peelies off a box and you caught them and they dropped their "harvest" and ran away? Would you pick up what they dropped?
well of course.. you wouldn't want someone to come along and trip over those peelies and injure themselvesWink so, it would be my civic duty to pick them up and dispose of them properly.. probably just drop them into my purse so that I could dispose of them at a later time...
and speaking of purses... it is strange how those darn tear pad coupons just fall into your purse sometimes isn't it?

I'd have to pick those up, definitely. Good peelies just shouldn't go to waste.

Quote from ForeverDcember :
Look whatalotofstuff, just because you want to talk about it doesn't mean that you have to make a new post. We have made it obvious that this is a REPOST and therefore a thread is out there that is already discussing it. So instead of saying "awww hey guys I wasn't here Crying " please do a search and then use the appropriate thread.
Well, why are you here if it's a repost and you aren't interested in the topic? laugh out loud This was set up to direct a bunch of people who can't help themselves but to discuss this in a deals thread, and I thought it should be OUT of the deals thread and in its own thread. So I sent everyone over here to put their comments. We aren't hurting a soul.. laugh out loud.. but we might argue a lot. Rofl2

I never find tearpads so I can't argue this point one way or the other.. they're always missing in my stores. Smilie However, you're right - we wouldn't want peelie injuries, so it would definitely be in the public's best interest if they weren't laying around on the floor. laugh out loud

oh yeah.. forgot we were supposed to be discussing glade tins.. hmm, I haven't posted anything about them in the deals thread cause I haven't actually bought any. Actually last night was the first time I even looked for them.. looked through all the tins- about 8 in all.. and not one coupon.. Was I mad, no, not really.. It just isn't that big of a deal to me.. It is a small candle that I could get for .17.. not some major deal that I can tell.. maybe there were coupons and were already taken.. or maybe, not every tin is going to have the coupon in it.. all the lids were on the products, so I didn't instantly assume someone had stolen the coupon out.. but I suppose it is possible. Either way, the tin wasn't damaged, and if I really wanted any more glade, I would have bought it.. Nope, I don't plan on opening the packages and taking coupons out.. but, come on folks, some people are making way too much fuss over finding candle tins without the coupons inside.. get over it already!

You can get the candles at Target for $0.17 after coupon.

You don't take them Nono2

You bring a Sharpie Magic Market with ya to the store, and you peel them back, and use the Sharpie to black out the "Bar Code" so no one else can use it Evillaugh

That way, only you can use the one you used when you purchased your item Evil

See, this saves the Manufacturer money by no one else using those pesky peelies Whee Whee

Don't do it Jen-nay! It is not even worth the 17. One little scented oil candle in a tin. Reviews are the candles hardly smell too. If you want I can mail you about 50 packs of the scented oil refill candles (3 to a pack) and you can stick them in your own tin. I'm tossing them in with my g-sale stuff and can't even sell them for $1. Only reason I buy them is well, 'cuz they pay me to. Shutup

Oh and thank the Lawd this thread was merged! Whee
