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?

Oh, I think I misunderstood the question then.

I take peelies off of one package if I'm going to immediately use them on another package/flavor of the same item.

I don't pull them off to hold onto, sell, or stockpile.

Not that anyone cares anymore, since this thread was started in 2008.

I personally think it is wrong. I saw a BUNCH of peelings on some product the other day that was collect two, and get a free movie ticket or similar. I thought about taking a few of them, but then I decided against it as it was supposed to be for those who actually purchased the product.

Okay, but if you were going to purchase a product...let's say...PopTarts...and there was a peelie on the box of blueberry for 40 cents off, but you don't like blueberry, you like strawberry. There's no coupon on the strawberry box. Would you take the coupon off of the blueberry box?

I totally would. It's not my fault that they didn't put a coupon on the strawberry box. If the coupon is for any flavor and I'm buying strawberry, I'm taking the peelie off of the blueberry box and buying the strawberry.

I don't think there's anything wrong with that.

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.
Some people are odd and use them as wallpaper, it's cheaper than buying wallpaper, but takes a lot longer to apply it nod

With those Platinum Subscriptions everyone purchased previously, that is what is keeping this thread alive and healthy - someone had to pay for the health insurance for it Doh
