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?

couple summers ago, they had a coupon for $3/2 any j&j product with no restrictions. they came in blinkie form and tearpads at grocery/drugstores (found everywhere).

i went around and farmed ziploc bags full of coupons, ordered them in walmart. since they were 97¢ + tax, it was an easy money maker: 2 x (97¢ + tax) - $3 coupon = 88¢ overage/cash back.

that doesn't seem like a lot, but say you hit one store and find two tearpads (40-50 coupons on each) that is $70+ cash back and 160-200 free kits...expand that to large metro + special order at walmart = big payouts.

the only thing that sucked was waiting for shipments since these are assembly (i.e. JIT/made-to-order) and took weeks to ship. oh, and now they have verbiage on the coupons so they can't be used on trial size or these mini kits Big Grin
You are pure TLC material. Extreme couponer! :-) So, they just gave you the cash, no questions asked? I would wonder they would have summoned a manager or someone similar to authorize that transaction, no? :-)

LOL! Archeologists 2000 years in the future are going to draw some awfully wrong conclusions once they hit your house.

"According to our findings, people living in 2013 were very accident prone..."

Well, now that I think about it, maybe their conclusions won't be THAT far off.
hopefully, they will be gone soon. Big Grin

no, they already knew about the deal so i didn't have any problems. one time i was at a register w/ new drawer so they had to go in back to get more cash, but other than that, no problems whatsoever. Big Grin

take it all the time as long as it doesn't affect value of product. Sunflower seeds .75 cents off sure i'll grab 2-3 maybe for next time.

Free movie ticket with purchase of dvd. Nope
