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?

I take peelies all the time for products I'm going to buy, I don't wipe the shelves but I take enough to get me what I need. I don't feel guilty or bad about it either. The manufacturer is getting what they want by getting me to use the peelie, they don't care who uses the coupons. I am a customer as much as the next person. If they only have a limited number of peelies left and I plan on using them all then I WILL take them all. We don't live in a socialistic country (no puns please) so I don't have to share with everyone just because it's "fair". All's fair in love and couponing in my book.
Exactly. First come first served right? I might get a little peeved if there is peelie residue but I move on, there will always be more peelies. And are peelies any different than tearpads?

Just curious, why would anyone take peelies that they will not use? Are there peely collectors? Is it like stamp collecting? Only thing I can think of is for later use.
Feebay. Some are good to have for trading or RAOK though. nod

A peelie is a coupon as is a tearpad is a coupon. No difference in what they are used for. Only diff is someone or some robot actually had to put the peelie on the actual product instead of just putting up a tearpad.

I agree about the feebay and trading or Rak's comment though. I don't sell on FB and instead of trading I just usually buy whatever coupons I need. I do send out Rak's sometimes though

If they didn't want you to take it then they wouldn't have put it on the outside.

People get mad - but you are right! Taking a peelie is not stealing. If they were so worried it should be sealed under plastic. Then I would have to slit all the damn chocolates open to get em, which is more work OMG

Iagree Also, if they do put it on the outside and they don't want you to take it often times they put it under cellophane.

Ahhhh, the great peelie debate...good times, good times.

That horse needs maggots coming out of it.

I would like to know, since I have cut back on visiting SD, I would like to know who opened the retard gate. This site is FLOODED with ethically perfect people and everyone is so quick to judge. I hate them all. If I used 120 peelies on flowers, YAY me and the people I sent stuff too!

Hell - I got more free stuff with good old Target's salsa coupon hahaha!

Awwww hug

We had the almighty "OMG the lounge has changed" discussion the other day - but this time it is more drastic than ever - the whole site has changed and if I feel like being what someone else considers "morally or ethically wrong", the last time I checked - this isn't a church. fark off and let me screw whoever I want out of salsa, flowers, pizza, magazine subscriptions, candles, makeup, shoes, or anything else.

At least I will look good when I go to jail for stealing peelies!

I think people just hate because I took all their peelies too - last time I was here someone bitched me out for scanning printable coupons. Everyone in my family STILL has unopened packages of Hanes floating around and hundreds of dollars of shit from B&BW! It's always something though - get a grip.I get a ton for free and people are mad they don't have the audacity or ability to do so themselves. So from now on - I will PM the "cool kids" hints, tips, and tricks I find to make a deal sweeter. fark the general majority sitting there judging while whining that they can't find any coupons.

I don't miss online poker but I miss playing poker with my fellow sarcastic Loungers. Rammy should bring that back. I want to hear Mav complain about the conspiracy theories with poker sites again.
