its a sight about coupons so i guess talking about coupon morals is an apropriate forum. People want the best deal in this economy but certainly don’t want to break any rules or laws. I am going to email the publix corporate office on this issue and i will share the results. It is very important. if the store owner has a policy then i feel eveyone should follow it. I let you guys know.

this was my first time to this site…. this is a place for deals, not soapboxes. High morals (right!?!?), it’s ok to harm the work of a site someone has worked hard to set up for people to share great deals.

When I go to the site for the Ragu coupon, it’s only showing 3 coupons and Ragu is not one of them. Have they reached their print limit?

hahahaha you guys need a life, coupon stealing come on!! Thats dumb whats the difference between taking it off and using it for a different flavor than taking it off and using it for a future purchase. If you are not using it for the box that the peelie is on it is the same exact thing. I think some of you folks are a wee bit uptight. Again thanks for the laugh. And Michelle thanks for your hard work really enjoyed getting the ad early.

coupons do have cash value. It isn’t much, usually 1 20th of a cent. Barcodes and Box-tops for education have no cash value. Is it ok to tear these off of boxes you aren’t buying? It doesn’t destroy the box in most cases, the food inside is still fresh. Maybe I have strong ethical standards, but I don’t see a gray area here. Maybe if you want a different flavor…that’s a little gray. If your coupon man is giving you handfuls of peelies, there is nothing wrong with that. Just because something isn’t illegal doesn’t mean it’s right.

I am on the fence about a lot of the coupon stealing/taking/using issues…but I will add that more than once, the “sample people” that are from the contracted sample companies said that when they leave at the end of the day, they are instructed to “DESTROY” all the coupons they have out with the samples so they want the customers to not only listen to their shpeal about the product…BUT take coupons because they have to throw them away…That’s how I got OODLES of coupons this past summer for Yo Plus. BUT I also spread the love and give them to friends of leave them to “pay it forward” to another shopper.

Almond Accents are BOGO and I found a 1$/2 tear pad at the Fairhope AL store. Anyone else find a coupon for the Almond Accents?

I used to find it frustrating to find an item that once had a peelie on it but was taken until I ran into the “coupon man” at my Publix. He was actually with a distributor and was attaching all of those peelies on the boxes. He gave me 6 of every coupon he had in his magic bag and told me that he encourages people to grab a coupon or 2 so long as you will definately purchase the product before the coupon expires. He said they attach them to attract a purchase weather immediate or future. I never myself hord peelies but if I see one on a product I buy EVERY TIME it goes on sale I will take 2. I no longer feel bad because my “coupon man” told me it was ok and intended. I know it gets frustrating and I too miss out on peelies that are gone but that is all part of the coupon game in my book. As far as stealing goes I think that is taking it a bit far.

Joe, just because it’s not “legally” a theft, doesn’t mean that it’s not stealing on a moral and ethical level. The peelies are attached to a product as incentive to buy that product, and the person who buys that product is the intended recipient. Don’t mean to beat up on anyone, but this kind of behavior gives couponers a bad name and cheats someone of the good deals we all want to find. Wrong is wrong, regardless of the legal guidlines.

PEELIE DATING:

remove all the peeler coupons of an item, every single one. go to publix all dressed up, you know, fresh hair cut and cologne, make sure you look really spiffy. wait until you see an atractive mate pick up the item in question,
and then just say, “hey i just happened to have a coupon that i cant use for that item”. BAM if you hit it off and make a date, then
you must put the rest of the unused peelies back.

If you put the unused peelies back before you leave the store its not stealing.

MAria: slow down, trust me on this one,
hording coupons even peelers may be immoral but it is not “LEGALY” a theft.
Doesnt mean you should do it. just saying, that legaly if you stole a 75 cent pack of gum you can be handcuffed and taken away. if you take coupons even peelers they have no cash value.

thats why i came up with some proposed etiquettes for peelers.

maybe make little stickers that say,
“sorry for being a peelie sneekie but
i purchased the larger size box with the peelie
” LOL

or maybe just use your index finger to remove
the remaining glue so all evidence of a prior peeler is erased!

DONT be a Peeler Stealer!! or a Peelie Sneekie! LOL
Yes I agreed to a couple of exceptions for peelers.
1. to replace a peeler that fell of a different flavor or the different flavor
never had one.
2. the peelie is for a diferent item than the one its on.
3.but dont go taking of 5 peelies that are $1 off that item so you can come back later!

DONT be a Peeler Stealer!! or a Peelie Sneekie!

also dont be scared to put peelie back. TGIF have like 3 different coupons in the peelie. if your not going to use the other 2
toss them in the freezer. Cold coupons scan!

I am very happy that people are stading up for what is right! I am glad I am not the only one upset by this. I had purposely stayed away from reading comments on this blog because I simply couldn’t tolerate people bragging and encouranging dishonest activities. Unfortunately, this is not the first time that someone brags about stealing peelies from boxes on this site. A few weeks back, a woman was braging about how she takes peelies from packages at Target and other stores to later sell them on ebay. Further implying to readers that if we wanted those stolen peelies to use them for the current BOGO sell we could just buy them from her at ebay. I sent an e-mail to Michelle and reported this matter and I truly hope she takes a stand against this type of behavior. In the meantime, please Don’t steal or encourage others to steal.
