People taking peelies (coupons) off items in the store

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?

Quote from Thrifty-n-SoCal :
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
Iagree I couldn't even bring myself to get them and mine had the coupons in them. Now the free/cheap ice cream? I'm all over that. I'll be eating Ben & Jerrys for awhile Whee

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
I will and do take them. I just don't leave the store looking like a wild beast was in the store.

My comfort level is this...taking a few peelies is okay, opening the product to take the contents is not. Everyone has a different comfort level.

Today, I noticed there was a peelie on the Sargento's cheese. the cheese was on sale, making it only a wee bit higher than the cheese i was gonna get. I carefully pulled the peelie off, looked at it, realized it was for a MIR on the Finishers, and equally carefully, stuck it back on the cheese package. Smilie

The lady behind me wanted to know what the peelie was for ( yes she used that term, she must SD) I told her, and she bought the cheese.

So, IMO, sneaking a peek, or peeling the peelie off to use right then, is fine Smilie

Dog eat dog is right.. and lotsa people don't even bother cookin' first, so I'm with you. Get what you can while you can, WITHIN reason. Of course, reason is another subjective term for a different thread at a different time... Wink

Quote from CPFB :
I would never open the box to get a coupon. I will take 2 peelies if I am sure I will use them. Never more than that. I don't need bad karma. Will save deals for others to enjoy also.
I agree. Karma is good.
