Well, it is about time. Unfortunately, when people are not able to “police” themselves, they will have their freedom taken away and will now have to be “policed”. I feel very strongly about this as I am sure you will be able to see.

Amanda sent me in this photo of a sign at her Walgreens here in The Woodlands. I have seen another blogger in Idaho post about this same sign at her Walgreens as well. Walgreens has problems with people clearing the shelves because unlike CVS they do not have a card system to limit the amount of the good deals that people can buy.

Walgreens in NOT a warehouse, it is not a grocery store that restocks each night. It is a store that is primarily these days there for RX and items you are just running in for. They happen to have a great RR program. With there being so many new couponers, some do not have any idea about “coupon ethics and manners”.

All sales come around again, to build a nice stockpile takes time. It does not happen overnight, it might take a good 6 months and then you are to a place where you do not need to be running out all the time. But to clear the shelves every Saturday night for whatever reason ruins it for other people, and now your freedom gets taken away and you have to be babysat.

Unfortunately TLC’s show made people think that to be a “extreme couponer” you have to clear the shelves. This is NOT the case. It makes couponers look like hoarders, cashiers and store managers mad, and other couponers frustrated. As long as people are selfish and greedy, expect to see more limits at stores.

What are your thoughts?

I took a quick trip to Walgreens this morning and had an interesting experience. The cashier explained that they are limiting purchases, fine with me… I did want to know where their sign was though as they need to have one up. But more interesting, is the cashier explaining how she called all her friends and the shelf clearers in my area to let them know it was changing and allowed them to clear all the shelves last night. Which means she allowed them to get RR for a sale that had not started yet. Nice.

Onto better news and clearing up an earth shattering rumor! Cap’N Crunch is NOT being discontinued! Thank goodness, now I can sleep at night 🙂

At Walgreens you can “stack” a Walgreens coupon and a Manufacturer coupon together. To make it easier for new readers I will make the Walgreens coupons RED and the MFQ black. Anything printable will be in BLUE.
